Have you adjusted for inflation because $300 today isn't $300 back when previous Nintendo consoles launched.  Back in 2007 Switch would cost around $250 so I'm glad we've debunked this myth.  

 

Back in 2000 the switch would of cost just over $20 and in 1990 just over $150! 

 

So by today's standards $300 really ain't much especially when you're talking a powerful handheld which the likes of 3DS, DS,  GB etc weren't powerful when they launched. 

It doesn't really matter, if you compare prices of Nintendo console compared to MS/Sony console fromt that time you will see that Nintendo were always much less cheaper in any case.

$300 is price of PS4 (most strongest and most popular console on market), so yes, $300 would definitely high for only handheld device.

It does matter and the ps4 is a few years old so makes sense to be cheaper.  

 

If switch was a weak ass portable it would not justify it's price but it's powerful so most certainly does.
