This time around the Switch costs just as much as the other systems, and doesn't come with a free game. After you factor in a free Uncharted 4, the PS4 is $240. So Nintendo is asking $300 for old outdated tech, when Sony and MS are asking $240 for current gen tech. |
True but.. independent of whether you own or are even interested in PS4/X1, the price point of the Switch is essentially the same as the Wii. Switch is really competing for the attention of people that either already own PS4/X1 and those who really don't have interest in PS4/X1 (e.g. casuals).
Say you own a PS4 ... but no Vita, 3DS, X1, WiiU or Switch. Which is going to be most appealing to you?
I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
