Does anyone really think Switch, at 299, is too much money?

When I first saw the $299 price tag, I thought it was $50 too much but once I got a Switch, I felt it was a good price. The size of the little unit is impressive and the box comes with two controllers that can be combined to form one right out of the box.

On a related note, the Switch seems to be selling decently at a $400 scalper price on Amazon.

I wasn't talking about the Switch but the price seems fine objectively speaking.  Of course, being a hybrid, some people will think it's too much depending on what they want out of it.

Others would think they're getting a console and a handheld for the price of a new console. It's like buying two for the price of one.

That's the whole point of the Switch: a console at home and a handheld for when on-the-go. It's in the marketing and it's in the name.

Personally, I'd only use it as a home console, so I wouldn't pay $300 for it, especially since it doesn't come with the best controller.

Not a fan of the doggie controller eh?

Nintendo is still struggling to hit 1080p so obviously 4k is a step too far right now. But he's right. 4k is growing rapidly but still niche.

Next gen on the ps5 it will be truly mainstream.

MK8D and Arms seem to be able to pull off 1080p fine.

I'm talking titles in general.  over the last couple of years they've struggled with 1080p. 4k will have to wait quite a while with Nintendo.
