yes they can cut the price, but launching at a high price damage the sales for good. They can improve but they will never be as good as they could have been.

Here is some examples of gaming systems that were released with bad pricing
-The first Xbox 479$
-Xbox One 499$ (compared to the 360 which was 299$/399$)
-3DS 249$ (compared to the DS which was 159$ if I remember correctly)
-WiiU 299$ / 349$ (compared to the Wii which was 249$)
-PS3 599$ (compared to PS2 which was 299$) I can't remember (took a lot of money and hardwork to bring back the PS brand but Sony did it)

Nintendo should not have broken the 250 bar. They should have stick with something cheaper to make, less gimmicks, more raw power and pricetag of 249 with one game. That's how you do it

Now the damage is done, everybody will know that the Switch is a 300$/330€ console with outdated graphics.
