I think Switch lives or dies on its price point and software. If it's $250 USD or less with killer software, it could do rather well.

If it's $300 or over and has a Wii-U-esque library, it hasn't got a snowball's chance in hell.

They need to play to their strengths; make it cheap and accessible, not expensive and niche.

Yep, I totally agree. At this point, I think price will be the most important factor to suceed. It won't depend on power or third party support. It will depend on price, marketing, and a healthy library of games. I think that with Nintendo making games in just one platform, we could say goodbye to the WiiU drougths. I hope so.

I don't think it can sell at the same price point as the PS4/xbox1 if it ends up being weaker than those two because I can easily see the average gamer irrationally think of it as a lesser machine regardless of the NS's portability.  Nintendo is marketing it as a home console and that's how a lot of people are going to judge it.
