The argument of "people didnt buy 3DS at $250 so they wont buy Switch at $300" is kinda narrow-minded. 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.

Its almost as if you didnt read a single word i wrote because nothing you just said refutes my last post.

They are seperate devices with different features, marketing & software so 3DS sales at $250 are irrelevent to potential sales of Switch at $300.
