Apples to oranges. The 3DS @ $250 was WAY overpriced for what it was... the successor to the most successful handheld of all time, the DS (which originally launched for nearly half the price), and was a dedicated handheld geared primarily towards younger audiences. This along with a limited software library early on (the highlights were basically 3D remasters of N64 games) is why the 3DS initially struggled until its first major price drop down to $199.
The Switch at $299 (most likely) is an entirely different beast being a combination home console & portable device, and even though it likely won't be as powerful as the X1/PS4, it is a much better value than the 3DS was @ $250 and it will also have a much stronger launch library, topped off by a brand new mainline Zelda entry which by itself is worth the price of admission for many gamers out there.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
