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.

You're actually trying to convince yourself and others that with the Switch, you're actually getting two devices for the price of one. No, it's one device.

You can try to look at it as a "best of both worlds" scenario, but it can also be seen as a "worst of both worlds" scenario. The specs are too crappy and the support too questionable for serious home gaming. On the other hand, you have to wonder about the handheld side of things as well. It's not really as handy and pocketable as traditional handhelds have been, and battery life is going to be really questionable. A jack of all trades, master of none? Is that going to fly? We'll see.

Of Course not, fact is that Switch is one device, but its 2 in 1 device, and that is a fact, real home console and real handheld in one.

Yes, jack of all trades but master of none. Switch will be around 3x more times stronger than last Nintendo console that of course have real home console games, so specs want be problem at all, we will have impresive Nintendo console games, and despite lower specs than XB1/PS4 we will definitely see some XB1/PS4 ports. Vita and 3DS XL are not exactly also as handy pocketable traditional handhelds, even 3DS and Vita have battery issues, but on other hand Switch will be very powerful handheld device much stronger than Vita.

With this price $249, great launch and 1st year linuep (rumoured line up for now sounds like one of best lineups ever for evre non Wii U owner) and good marketing, device that can be used like real home console and like real handheld, will be popular, if will exactly sale like hot cookies remains to be seen.
