Why I think Nintendo Switch is set for another Wii U disaster.

Just going to post my 2 cents before the big event tonight. Bare minimum the Switch needs to cost $250 with a physical copy BotW pack in, and have a four hour battery life. Anybody can pick up an Xbox One for $300 with Battlefield One. Handheld or not, Nintendo needs to undercut the competition by at least fifty dollars. A $300 Switch spells disaster for Nintendo. The best price we could possibly hope for is $229.99 with BotW packed in, but I know that's got around 5% chance of happening.

Breath of the Wild will not be a pack-in unless its a more expensive limited edition bundle, no way it will be bundled with the standard sku.

I think the rumors of $250 for basic sku and $300 for premium sku with more storage and Splatoon will be accurate.

At $250 for a basic sku, we have a choice between $310 for a Switch and a game, or $300 for a PS4/XB1 and a game. Nintendo winds up costing more, and being less powerful. Maybe $250 for a sku with Splatoon packed in? Do you think that would be feasable for Nintendo?
