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 decent. 

Home-to-portable "Switch" ability is a better novelty than a 3D screen too. 

Eventually Nintendo will get the price down to $199.99. 

Will they though? They refused to cut the Wii U price even after 4 years on the market.

You say that's cos they were supporting 2 systems, but that's exactly what they're doing now, supporting both Switch and 3DS. If Switch doesn't take off at $300, who is to say they won't just cling to their 3DS safety blanket and ride Switch into the ground?
