Gamecube was a modern and powerful console when it came out, and Switch was a modern and powerful mobile system when it came out.

Switch also wasn't really a "gen behind" as it's still significantly more capable than the 7th gen platforms.

Relative to its predecessor (N64) and its direct competition (PS2 and Xbox), the Gamecube was ridiculously more powerful than the Switch. And when I say ridiculously, I'm doing the best I can, because there isn't an adjective worthy enough. 

But again, we're getting off topic. The Switch has gone four years in the US without a single price cut. I can't imagine how much they're making off that thing compared to when it launched. Does anyone have those numbers? Would be really interesting to find out.

Relative to its predecessor the 3DS and to other mobile devices Switch was also capable for its time. It's not really apples to apples to compare a mobile device to dedicated consoles. You have to take the sort of machine it is into account.

As for its price in the US, I mean, why would they cut the price when it's still selling like it is? People are clearly quite happy paying $300 for one.
