Is Switch's processing power important to you?

Its relevant, because you can't compare official price and unofficial, we dont know at what prices and deals Switch will sell next holiday season, thats why  you can only compare only ofical prices, not deals on one side and ofical price on other side.

My point was that if a PS4, which is a vastly more powerful console, can be sold at 200$ (and obviously not at a loss or at least a small loss) a bare-bones switch should not cost more than 150$.

Indeed. And the better your price point, the more consoles you can sell, which means higher game sales potential. Win/win. Because game and accessory profits are where the VAST majority of profits are. That's the thing about the WiiU that drove me crazy. $349 for aaaaaaaaages, and while it had some very good titles for it, it was simply too expensive to find a decent market penetration and install base.

If a 'headless' Switch was made for $149, and as a result they sold an extra ~12 million units over the life of the unit, multiply that by the attach rate average, and you can compute the extra income and profits Nintendo would make. Price is a big deal.
