Games sell hardware.

New mario64 style game + Zelda BoTW = reason to purchase.
Slightly more expensive than a 3DS... yes, but it also does more than 3ds does.

I think if it launches at 249$ it does well.

Tell that to the Wii U.

The Wii U never had a "real" 3D collectathron style mario game.

The Wii U never had a new Zelda game (BoTW still isnt out).

It was said by nintendo that the Wii U cost more than they wanted, and it launched at 299$ (I think?).

This points to the Switch being in a very differnt position, than the Wii U.

(ontop of the unified games library, simplier & better concept, better name ect).
