Why would be $199 when New 3DS XL is still selling solid at that price!? Switch is not just handheld or just home console, its both in one out of box, you even controllers for local multiplayer out of box. Saying that Switch has to have price like New 3DS XL doesnt make sense, Switch has much higher value than New 3DS XL in any case.

Nintendo make disguesting amounts of profits on hardware.

They could probably sell the New 3DS XL at 99$ and still make profit of it, guess their pocketing 100$+ on each sale of New 3DS XL.

Im not sure thats going to work with the Switch.

299$ seems to much for this.

 

*edit:

I said the same about the PS4 slim.

When it launched at 299$, I was saying "damn this should have launched at 249$".

Look what happend, sales where slow.

Then christmas comes and they lower price to 249$ and sales go crazy.

Hardly they making 100% profit on 3DS. Actually I don't think they could sell Switch on launch at $200 at profit, just look at those Switch patent and what all Nintendo paced in Switch and how many functions and possibilities Switch has, also it coming with dock and Joy Grip and Joy Cons.

$249 looks like perfect and very reasonable price point for Switch and all its represents, $299 can be with one game and more storage (like rumours are pointing).

There always christmas deals for consoles, that relly doenst tells anuthing...
