Remember, Gamecube sold like crap at $100 but Wii sold like crazy at $250 despite have essentially the same hardware. The differences were features, marketing & software. 3DS & Switch are two seperate devices with different features, marketing & software so just because 3DS did poorly at $250 does not mean Switch will not be successful at $300. |
What I meant was the majority of handheld consumers weren't willing to pay $249 for Nintendo's handheld. Nintendo slashes the price by $80 proving that the entry price was too high and was the major cause of consumers detering from buying. How is raising the price by $50 going to attract the handheld consumer?
I didn't say the Switch will be unsuccessful, I said Nintendo will be unsuccessful attracting the mainstream handheld market at a price of $300.
