All that decry for the high price of the switch... Exaggerating!
Some people acting like Nintendo will never reduce its price, okay they didn't do it for the wii u because of some economic obstacles, but I would guess that this time Nintendo has provided for the future to be able to cut switch price with ease, and by this I mean without being forced to bleed money and keep making sufficient profit.
I remind you, 3DS got a ( excessive, they lost money due to the expensive 3D effect, they got back to profitability with 3DS xl at 199$ ) price cut after 5 months (79$), Gamecube 50$ in 2002 and another 50$ 2003...
I feel that Nintendo will sell as much as they can at that cost and then they will decrease it to a considerable extend, unless the device flies off the shelves...
I just fear of joy cons manufacturing cost.... I hope it won't be like Wii u gamepad case, which was its biggest detriment, commercially and financially.
Nintendo can't have repeated such a mistake!
So, Nintendo switch could go to the 250$ sweet spot ( not for handheld only console gamers though :( ) very soon!
it's better to sell something at 299$ for six months and later for less, than to sell it with a lower price but for a much time, people will appreciate that you slashing the price and at least you earn more money for some months.
Early adopters are early adopters because they can easily afford the high cost...
