The more noteworthy thing is the Switch is still selling and beating the PS4 here despite these pricks marking it up by nearly $100 and the PS4 being discounted $50.

I didn't even notice that. It's better than I thought then, although I still think we should wait a couple of months to get a better overall picture of how the Switch will do longer term.

I mean obviously, yeah, we have to wait to see how far it goes.  I mean the Dreamcast broke records and the N64 was suplexing the PS1 for like 2 years and we know how that went.  Will say I doubt we have a Dreamcast scenario because the cause of that was the Dreamcast selling as the bleeding edge of console tech and got upstaged by the PS2 being superior.  The Switch is launching against established brands so it's not selling in the absence of expectation-setting competitors.
