How much would Nintendo hardware cost to produce without gimmicks?

How much is the NVidia Shield? Around that price, probably less due to bigger production.

Exactly what I was gonna say. If you take out everything the Switch has going for it "gimmick"-wise, then it's literally just an Nvidia Shield, so the price should theoretically be close to that.

NVidia Shield Portable did cost 299$ at launch

NVidia Shield Android TV costs 199$ to 299$ (pro). hardware-wise the only difference is that the 16GB Flash gets exchanged through a 500GB HDD. And they both only come with 3GB of RAM
