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.

The ps4 /xbox one didn't compete against the PS3/Xbox 360. They competed against each other. The switch will be competing with the ps4s and xbox s.

They will be competing against both cheap consoles, and extra powerful consoles. Against 4k, and way way better third party support. Against long backlogs, better bundles and already exist using bases.

But seeing as how you think this will actually hit 200 million - I can tell you aren't actually taking things rational or logicial.  Then again you also thought the switch would be fully digital and we saw how that went..

So I'll just bow out and hope you aren't going to get your hopes crushed beyond belief.

Not will, and not "this thing." I'm saying it has the potential to, and I'm talking the entire platform over the span of like 7-8 years. That's including other iterations like a Switch Mini, Switch XL, etc.

But time will tell.
