At $300 no game bundled in? I'd be surprised if it makes it to the end of the year like that. When something like xbox or Uncharted will do $200 WITH a game (and a huge backlog) Nintendo will need to compete and compete hard. I don't even have a clue what 2018 will be like. They will have used up Zelda, 3d Mario, Mario kart 8 rehash, xenoblade, and Splatoon 2. |
You can't compare 3 year old tech prices to brand new tech. No one is looking at a $300 new device and thinking "man, this sure is overpriced compared to this 3 year old system." The Switch is new. It costs more. PS3 and 360 was "$200 with a bundle" when PS4 and XBO launched at $400 and $500. Didn't matter then. Won't matter ever. People understand what new tech entails.
You don't need to have a clue what 2018 will be like. You'll find that out at E3, like is always the case. You're saying "$300 with no bundle" as if consoles never sold well without launch bundles and with games with much less prestige than Zelda. As if having 6 major exclusive block busters releasing in the span of 8 months is somehow a weak showing. As if that isn't a good indication of how strong the exclusive line up will be next year.
