Yeah because the switch and ps5 is the same demographic.  Lol.  

The hybrid design makes owning more than 1 per household reasonable....  and since my kids own their console they are buying more software.  I would assume Nintendo understands this.

And if power matters and not price...  I assume the Steam Deck is outselling the Switch, right?  

Considering more than half of PS5 owners are also Switch owners, yes, they are the same demographic at least partially.

Remember: Early adopters are hard-core gamers and hardware makers fans. This is not mass market. It's a demographic of tec enthusiasts and they are absolutely willing to pay more

And this is all ignoring the big elephant in the room: The mass market is buying OLED in droves for 350 USD and its ancient tec to play PS3-level games of graphical fidelity. I see no reason whatsoever for the same demography turned their back on Nintendo for charging 50 ot even 100 USD for a much stronger hardware 

Agree to disagree.  Nintendo has a break point above $400.  It isn't their market nor their main demographic.  

If power was key than Steam Deck would be competing with the Switch.  It isn't.  

Nintendo's most successful consoles have always been well priced, not high end.
