| Louie said: I think they are positioning it as a lifestyle product. This console is a lot closer to the Wii than it is to the Wii U. It will also have a ton of Nintendo games. Maybe they are just really confident and don't want to repeat the Wii situation where they could've easily charged double the price and made a lot more money. |
double the price? lol no.
The Wii sold well because it was cheap, with a higher price tag the sales would have been much lower.
I use to work in a video game store at the time, and parents were coming to buy a Wii for their kids, and when you add to tell them that they needed not just 250$ to buy it, but 250 + 50 for mario kart, + 60 for an extra nunchuck+wiimote etc
Most people were like "wtf", so when the switch will be released at even an higher price, people are just going to say no thank you.
The Switch will sell barely more units than the WiiU
