| Ganoncrotch said: While I agree that of course they COULD have done some of this, added in more power from the get go... it has to be considered that there is a version of the Switch out there right now which is the cheapest of the 3 currently available systems, between ps4, Switch and X1 there is only one system which can be gotten new for $200 and that fact alone means all of the "they could have added..." arguments pretty much all die a death, I think what's included in the Switch for the cost of the machine is very very fair, I highly doubt Nintendo are making any margin on those machines it's likely to be almost all from Software licensing. |
If they ditched the Joycons, battery, display, dock and released a Switch TV on launch, they could have had a $150 or less pricepoint on launch, with more powerful hardware.
Besides I am pretty sure the Xbox One S/SAD has hit the $200 USD price points on a heap of different occasions before the Lite even dropped.
Either way, what has been done is done, not going to change with any what-if scenarios, but doesn't mean we can't critique a company's specific actions.
