The issue here isn't that Nintendo doesn't want to take losses on the Switch, which it shouldn't and has every right as a business to want to make a profit right out of the gate.

The problem is that people know the reason the Switch is $300 as opposed to a lower price point like $250 has more to do with the expensive controllers and accessories packed in as opposed to the cost of the console hardware itself.  You're basically paying a premium for an underpowered piece of hardware due to the technology in the JoyCons and a glorified charging station / HDMI output dock that somehow warrants a $90 price tag when sold separately.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
