Smartphones are not consoles. Dont forget, $250 price point for 3DS was huge problem for 3DS sales, that why 3DS had huge price point to $170 only 6 months after launch.

Yeah it was back then it clearly isn't now. 3ds was an extremely weak piece of hardware compared to the switch which is a powerful device capable of good looking games. The market clearly shows 300 is no problem for this portable piece of hardware. 

Its not point about strength of hardware at all and that really wasn't never point of Nintendo hardware, Vita was much stronger than 3DS and 3DS destroyed Vita in sales, same like DS sold much better than PSP. Simple $300 is still high price point to have popularity and sales like Nintendo handhelds usually have in Japan, when Switch have price point of around $200 in Japan, than Switch sales will really explode, with around that price point Nintendo goal with Switch will start fulfilling, and thats that Switch become device per person instead of device per family (they literally said that, but also that current price point is still not yet there).
