One way the Switches Price is going to hurt sales.

do you have some sort of battery extension?  Won't it die pretty quick and then you're gonna have to deal with carrying it around all day with no battery?

I have to add this: Switch does a really good job preserving battery life in sleep mode.

The other day I charged 100%, left it on dining room table overnight - the next day battery life was at 97-98%. 

So if you're only breaking out a game like MK8 for 15-20min sessions here and there as you travel or wait in lines - it can last a whole day without a charge.

Yeah the battery life even with an app suspended and Wifi on is incredible, I deliberately took it out of the cradle overnight with Breath of the Wild suspended just to see and in about 10+ hours before checking back on it the battery had depleted 1 or 2% just.

One thing that is strange about the Switch is the design to have 2 seperate batteries in the Joycons which will charge from the main unit but I'm not sure if they can possibly do the reverse of that, the one time my unit has been close to running out of charge a quick check showed both JoyCons almost at full battery power which was about to become useless considering the main unit was going to be running out.
