You know that when Switch is near launch Sony will be dropping the price of the PS4 Slim to match it. Why pay $249 for a 720p tablet when you can get in on the much more powerful PS4? Sony won't be dropping the price to $199 to match Switch. Nintendo needs to hit this price point. The twins can't follow and fans will be clamoring for all things Switch if it has a low entry price. |
Huge difference is that 3DS is just a handheld, while Switch is home console also, huge difference in perception of product because lotsa people will buy it for home console side of Switch. Compared to PS4/XB1 with Switch you get 2 in 1 device, real handheld and rela home console, while PS4 and XB1 are just a home consoles. Sony follows XB1 with pricing, I dont think they will follow Switch because they are different products.
And you forgetting that New 3DS XL is still selling good at price of $199, so Switch will $249 will have much higher value.
