So we agree!

To be punctilious, it  not just have the price of a home console, its games  also has the price of home console games... Although, that's justifiable given how much technically superior are its games over  those of 3DS thanks to the advanced compared to 3DS ( or even psv ) , switch hardware! However, I'm not sure that the average handheld console gamer is  much interested in graphical level, cpu power e.t.c!

So the main problem is the combination of these not the hardware price on its own.

I was used to include durable between more  portable and affordable! Switch was seeming fragile to me ( when it comes to abuse from kids ) but people persuaded me for the opposite...  

 

Yes, I forgot about the price difference for games, that is also substantial. All this expensive stuff also will make parents think twice before buying one for their kids. The 3DS is cheap to replace, the Switch is a bit more expensive.

Yeah, I have said this too...

Anyway, at least an initial price of 299$ for a home consoles isn't high, plus that this special piece of hardware allows you to keep playing what you were playing on tv lying on the sofa, anywhere inside outside home and anyhow.

Also, it's a great deal for people who spent 500$ for a wii u and 3DS or for people who like both the gaming ways but couldn't afford or weren't willing to expend 500$ for a wii u and a 3DS.

The issue is with the handheld console only gamers, who would want a more portable  device ( only the length of switch is the problem )  and of course a lot cheaper ( they will have to pay  way more for a swith and a game than 3DS and the counterpart game ) , and parents who would want for their kids,  a more durable switch and fairly cheaper to make the ability of rebuying in  case of breaking down , easier.
