3DS sales surged by 260% when it cut its price, clearly a lot of people wanted it but did not want to part with $250 for a portable.

Wow man, you are really getting bad at your rebuttals.

PS2 & XB each had a 150-200% increase in May 2002 when the prices went from $300 to $200.

PS3 & Wii each had roughly a 100% increase in September 2009 when they went from $400 to $300 & $250 to $200.

Hardware going up when a price cut occurs is nothing new and nobody would every say PS2 or Wii were percieved as too expensive by the mass market prior to their price cuts yet they still saw really large boosts.

Like I said, its possible that with better features/marketing/software that 3DS could have sold well at $250 and 3DS doing poorly at $250 means absolutely nothing when it comes to how well Switch sells at $300.

PS2 and Wii were already at mass market price for what they offered, Switch isn't. It's asking the same price as it competitors while offering vastly fewer games, worse tech, and less features.
