Yes, it's a problem that can be fixed, sure, but the high price sends the wrong message.

A price point of $250 or, better yet, $200 would cause Switch to fly off shelves. That would get the unit into more homes, which would lead to more software and accessory sales.

The Nintendo faithful and early adopters won't blink at the $300 price tag, but fair-weather fans will. If Nintendo wants to get those fans, it will have to drop the price early, which will no doubt upset those that paid $300 at launch.

Xbox One never recovered from its $500 price point and disastrous reveal. Switch NEEDS to get out of the game quickly, and a $300 price of admission is NOT the way to do that.
