What's that?  brand new system costs as much as bundles of systems that have been out for years?

And you are surprised? When the ps3 launched, the base price of the device was $500-600. And that was back years ago. Inflation would put that at $600-700 now days.

New devices = no fancy bundles in order to get as much boost profit as possible off people like me that are early buyers that don't need the big fat incentives. 

This argument is so dumb. Like it or not, the Switch is competing directly with the PS4 and Xbox One for sales. There will be millions of prospective buyers that will likely be choosing between a PS4 (or Xbox One) and a Switch. Do you think when they go to Best Buy and see the PS4 demo booth right next to the Switch demo booth, and notice the games on the PS4 look much, much better, they're really going to care that the PS4 is three years old? Do you think when they go to the games section and see Skyrim for the switch selling for $60, and 1-2 Switch selling for $50, and then look through the PS4 game section, and the Skyrim special edition  for PS4 is in the discount bin for $20, along with a dozen other games like Tomb Raider, or the Uncharted collection for $20 or less, they're going to be excited about those prospects? DDo you think when they are making their choice, do they think to themselves "Well the PS4 is a much better deal now, but it would be a worse deal if I bought it three years ago, so even though the Switch will cost me hundreds of dollars more right now, it's just as good of a deal!".

No of course they don't. They buy a PS4 with a pack in game and buy another 4 of the latest games with it (or a dozen games that came out a year ago) for the same price they can buy a Switch for, that's going to be a +1 sale for Sony and not for Nintendo.  It is Nintendo's fault that they decided to put out a new home console 3 years after the PS4 and X1 came out. It's Nintendo's fault they released a console against competition that to the average consumer is better value in every way.

Your missing switches main draw though. It's for all purposes a handheld. 

One can't bring their PS4 on the plane, train or automobile. They can't play it at lunch during work, or at school recess/lunch/study hall. They don't have to unhook their whole system and cords and lug it over to grandmas or a friends house for the day. And then have to hook it all back up again when they get home.
