Nintendo Switch model is expensive for us and cheap for Nintendo. Hardware and Software.

As for releasing a $300-400 console that is on par with XBO/PS4 with a focus on recieving multiplats, sure Nintendo could do that but what would it gain them? The audience for AAA western multiplats simply is not on Nintendo and releasing a console on par with them halfway through their life cycles will not cause these people to move to Nintendo.

Because they literally don't try to. Sony didn't get where they are off of nothing, they got here for trying to accomadate with 3rd parties. Nintendo can make a comeback with third parties, anything is possible. They certainly have more money to push around than Sony.

History has shown that it is hard to steal another devices audience without them first making huge mistakes.

Playstation was able to steal 3rd parties and the audience for them because Nintendo & Sega both made really bad decisions with N64 & Saturn.

Xbox 360 was able to steal alot of 3rd party support and the audience for them from Sony because of the really bad decisions they made with PS3.

Like I said, its not that Nintendo cant make a console like that but its a huge risk. If they release a PS3/360 level handheld along with a PS4/XBO level console than their developement resources will be spread thin, far more than currently because thats two HD devices they have to support and if 3rd parties and the audience doesnt migrate than they are left in a worse spot than Wii U.
