Pushing it as a home console? It's biggest selling point is it's portability. The reason Nintendo handheld have been so cheap is because Nintendo decided to make relatively weak hardware. Switch actually has impressive graphics for a portable device for once from Nintendo so as a result the price had to be a little highe. And considering kids and adults get such expensive mobile phones these days asking 300 for the switch is no big deal. 

You dont get it, hybrid concept is biggest selling point of Switch (in this case handheld side), but fact is that Nintendo refers to Switch like console not like handheld, while they refer to 3DS like handheld.

3DS has very week hardware and yet had $250 launch price point. Also if Switch is only handheld instead of hybrid (so without Dock, attachable Joy Cons, parts...), it would have much lower price point than that actually has. Comparing price points of Android/iOS platform devaices with dedicated console platforms is pointles, mobile phones can do huge a variety of things while with Switch you cant do much except playing games (currently you cant play even YouTube or browse internet).

It's called pr. Why would they call it a handheld when they are still selling the 3ds both hardware and software.

Well it looks like i do get it because ever since reveal I've been pushing the idea it's a hybrid with the handheld side being its biggest selling point.
