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. 

Fact is that doesnt relly matter, again, if you compare prices of Nintendo console compared to MS/Sony console from that time you will see that Nintendo consoles were always much cheaper in any case. PS2 launched at $299 while GC at $199, PS3 launch at $599 while Wii at $249, PS4 was launched at $400 while Wii U at $299 and Switch at $300. Again doesn't really matter, PS4 is less than 4 years on market, and its most popular and strongest console on market (3rd party games looks/works better than on other consoles), so having handheld at same price point at $300 would definitely be too much, and handheld with that price point would easily fail.

You would need to know that power is not what selling Nintendo systems, so $300 would be easily too much for just handheld despite power, only Switch handheld would easily failed with that price point without price cut, but Switch justify its $300 price because it's hybrid, its handheld but also home console in same time, and has two controller out of box for local multiplayer, so thats real value of Switch and one of main reasons why is selling great.
