There were Nintendo fans here savage about pricepoint because they thought it wouldn't sell. I was actually surprised by the backlash because I thought $300 for a new console was reasonable for a new console. 

When you have plenty of people, few people (that are actually usually more negative) don't change nothing, huge majority of Nintendo fans didnt said it want sell at this price point. Some backlash come from rumor that price point of Switch will probably be $250.

Notice that the official prices in the US and Japan do *not* include taxes.

 

Also, Amazon usually sells it at 300 euros, no? I assume that they put a higher official prices, so retailers can adjust to the varying VATs of EU countries.
