There are several issues with that.

Switch is too expensive covers many things.

• $300 handheld.
• It comes with no game.
• It requires you to to pay for online with little return.
• The accessories are insanely expensive.
• The games are $60.

You can't keep arguing "it is a handheld, it is a handheld" while ignoring that this handheld is the most expensive handheld, and the games are priced 50% more than the average handheld.

Plus you can't argue portability vs power. When games run on power. RDR2 needs power, not portability.

I don't entirely agree with that idea you're presenting.  Portability is a factor in price, if it weren't then laptops wouldn't be able to charge more for less power.  It's more of the perceived value of that portability.  Just because some people perceive values just based on power doesn't mean they are right in any way.

While I agree that other things about the Switch can make the $300 price tag seem even steeper, the point of this thread is that the hardware itself (separate from prices of other things) isn't too expensive.
