I agree with the OP. If there is no significant price drop in the first 6 months, this will be a major flop. It is priced too high as a home console, never mind a handheld (you can get a PS4 or XBO with a game for the same price). I expect the PS4 and XBO will also drop in price by $20 to $50 later this year.
Personally, I think the handheld market will continue to shrink as mobile devices get better and better. This year's iPhone 8 will probably be on par performance wise with the WiiU. Mobile games keep getting better and better, and their social media apps are much better.
The Wii U had good games, but that didn't save it.
Nintendo should release the Switch without the Joycon grip and with a pack-in game for $249.99. They should also have a home console only version (with no screen) for $199.99.
