Depends. Retailers like EB Games here in Australi make a large chunk of cash on refurbished/2nd hand consoles.

Shhh. Don't confuse people with logic. :P
But you are right though.

And for the perceived value of the Switch, it's still overpriced in my eyes. It's more expensive than the other consoles which arguably provide higher degrees of  fidelity and have a larger library of multiplats that I desire to play.

It's only been a month so far for the Switch so of course the library won't be as vast initially. It's not like it's suddenly gonna get 3-4 years of multiplats in one month. Same for any console. Manufacturing cost is apparently what it is. 

Are you suggesting that in 3-4 years it's going to be a Multiplat powerhouse? I look forward to the next Battlefield on Switch if that is the case.
