Japanese maybe, and  short lived western support at best. 

 

And while it may not directly be the point, the power gap is essentially only important due to that will be the deciding factor for third party. In that case this is directly associated. Even if it is closer to the PS4 and Xbone than Wii to PS3 (which sure, but PS4 is a last gen console) it doesn't matter.

You dont know that, if you look at list of Nintendo partners and supporters you can definitely expect some major 3rd party games. If Switch become popular and sell good (and most likely it will), certanly support want be short lived like for Wii U.

Point is that power gap betwine Switch and XB1/PS4 will not be big like Wii compared to PS3/Xbox360 or Wii U compared to XB1/PS4, and Switch has very modern hardware, architecture and tech, so porting will be easier than it was for Wii and Wii U, all that makes things easier for porting games compared to Wii and Wii U. PS4 is current gen console not last gen.

Considering people were buying them at that price the official one is irrelevant. And next holidays season it will only get cheaper.
Anyway I digress. I am just arguing the fact that dockless, batterless, screenless switch should be able to reach 150$. Not that I think it would be a good idea to make one. It would only confuse both developers and customers.

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.

It doesn't really matter, while Switch is designed to be hybrid, and making basically different type of hardware with built in dock, without screen and battery, without detachable controls...definitely isn't something Nintendo planning to do. Actually far more bigger chances are that Nintendo later will just release Switch without dock and Joy Con Grip just for handheld playing, dont forget that Nintendo on Switch is looking on first place like home console, they basicly said "portable home console".

You seem to be speculating just as much as I am. But when these major third parties are better in graphics and performance on cheaper systems on userbases far bigger, it's not hard to find yourself  coming to the same conclusion as myself. 

I no more know they are leaving than you know they are coming.
