The Nintendo switch event was a trainwreck

Why not make it 500 indeed. That way they could've put in actual hardware with actual clocks.

Nintendo is not Sony or Microsoft. They don't have a close competitor and their product is unique on the market. They might as well sell it for 500.

You think that when someone wants to buy a console to play games he'll go "Well I could only buy a switch since there's no other choice"? We'll have to agree to disagree on this.

Wrong way around.

I believe when you go into the store that you already know if you want a Nintendo console or a 3rd party console. There is a choice between 3rd party consoles but there is only one Nintendo console. nintendo fans will buy that one and not be swayed by the competitive pricing of Xbox or Playstation since that is not what they want.

The worst thing that will happen is that not all Nintendo fans will buy at launch but wait for a price drop. They will buy eventually though and that it what counts.

If I go into a store wanting to buy a television I will not pick a washing machine because it's cheaper.
