The major issue here is that Nintendo doesn't offer a product that's NOT portable. So, for people who want a home console, the product is expensive, because they get a fraction of the "standard" console power for the full price.

they sell the whole product, if you don't want a part of the product then that's something that as a consumer you should think and say "well, I just want a home console, so which company offers the best home console" and go for the one that offers what you consider valuable for your money. But you can't expect it to be cheaper because you're not interested in the whole product. If I buy a hot dog the hot dog man is going to sell me the whole thing even if I don't want the bun.

Yes, I agree about that. That's not what I was saying, though. As a home console, it has an expensive price point - but it isn't a home console per se, so people looking for that are likely going to turn away from it. The issue here is, the people would like to play Nintendo IPs NEED to buy this semi-portable product, because there is no pure home console available.

Just an observation, not trying to influence the opinion of anyone.
