But there`s an important point you just mentioned. Price. You may think it`s expensive, but, consumer wise, the price itself doesn`t matter. If the person seems value to it, they are going to pay for it, unless they just can`t pay it in anyway. 

Sometimes trying to go cheap could have hurted more than helped. 

Definitely, just that it's competing with the PS4 and Xbox and pricing it within the same price ranges will definitely affect sales

I too think the price is a bit high but compare this.

When Switch launches it will be the same price as the 3.5 year old PS4/XBO which will have sold a combined 80+ million by then.

When DS launched in late 2004, it was the same price as the 3 year old Xbox and 4 year old PS2 which had sold a combined 90+ million by that point.

Despite being weaker, having less games, worse online features, worse multimedia features than PS2/Xbox and an unproven "gimmick", DS sold over 14 million by the end of 2005. Also note that this was before DS became a huge hit.
