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.

If they succeed in market-tricking the consumers to believe it's home console, maybe it can have some success, a gamer with eyes will see the Switch for what it really is: a handheld with tv output... I'm sorry but handheld form factor, screen, battery, cartridges & mobile components make it a handheld, plain & simple, yes it does have a tv output but so did the PSP!!!

If you don't agree, well eat my shorts ;P

Nah, I see the NS as a handheld as well (I think we actually agreed with that on a previous reply).  In fact, I think it's an Nvidia Shield with a tv-out that's been repurposed by Nintendo as a gaming tablet -- which puts Nintendo into an even redder ocean with companies like Apple and Samsung in the tablet market; which is funny considering how much Nintendo talks about 'blue oceans' and not wanting to compete directly with Microsoft and Sony.  In all honesty, the NS just seems like an elaborate mulligan on the Wii U; it's what they wanted the Wii U to be back in 2012 but the technology wasn't there at the time to make it happen.
