He is right about the 4K thing, but it irks me to no end every time they use the phrase "we want our products to be affordable".  Like, really?? the New 3DS XL is still selling for $200 and the Wii U for $300!

And the Switch is more expensive than the PS4 (WITH A GAME INCLUDED!).

Now, I can accept the "we offer games that can only be played here" and "we offer new ways to play" but "affordable" is a word that they should be using.

What we meant was that you won't see any of their product piced over $300. BTW the top 3ds version (New 3DS XL) is still cheaper than Vita (the cheaper version), which makes it the cheapest handheld on the market (not to mantion that you can go as low as $90 with the 2DS) and I hate that PS4 price comparison. PS4 is almost 4 years on the market and you compare it with the system which was released 3 months ago. Remind me, how much was the PS4 at lunch? 

Yeah, both the PS Vita and the N3DS XL are overpriced for what they are (basically ancient tech), but in this particular instance is not a Sony guy who we have in the front line shamelessly saying "we want our products to be affordable".

And about the PS4-Switch comparison, well, if I have the money to buy a product TODAY, I'm not gonna be thinking about how much said product costed 4 years ago, and how much is gonna cost 4 years down the line, because I have the money today, and I wanna buy it today.  So its price TODAY is the price I care about (Of course thats assuming I'm not expecting any price cut, special offer or promotions).  Not to mention that I always check all the options in the market to try to get the most for my money.
