3DS was a disaster at $250 before it really picked up after the price cut. If 3DS owners werent' willing to buy a 3DS at $250, they really aren't willing to buy a portable device at $300 if they're going to treat it like a portable device or be seen as people who want a 3DS successor.
If Nintendo wants to get past my predicted amount they're not going to do it with $80 pro controllers, no Switch Price cut, $90 pieces of plastic with 3 ports, etc. Money talks. If they plan on suckering early Switch adpoters with the pricing, they have to do another ambassador program to compensate as well. Or else people aren't going to be too enthused I'd imagine.

Yeah, at its current pricing Switch will only sell to hardcore Nintendo fans, the kind who bought a Wii U.
If portable buyers wouldn't buy a 3DS at $250, they're not going to buy a Switch at $300.

It's hard to know if the 3DS would've sold better with better games. Sales probably wouldn't have been red hot, but at $250 they probably would've been OK-ish perhaps with better games.
Home-to-portable "Switch" ability is a better novelty than a 3D screen too.
Eventually Nintendo will get the price down to $199.99.
