You're simply in denial if you refuse to accept that being half another product's price is a major advantage. You really think 3DS would've sold the same if it had sold for $300 for the first two years of its life? It couldn't even sell up to Nintendo's expectations at $250, it needed an emergency cut to $170 just to get off the ground.

Yes, if it was a hybrid console!

It wasn't though, and that can't be proven. As it happened, 3DS had mediocre sales even at $250 and had to be half Switch's price just to sell well. By this point in its life, 3DS had already played the price cut and hardware revision cards. Switch hasn't yet, so Switch has more room to grow from here than 3DS did.
