Considering the japanese price of the hardware, it certainly seems like there was room to launch it at 399 at least in Europe if they wanted (I can understand a higher price in the US due to tariffs). If they wanted more money they could have done an OLED version with more storage at a 100 premium which would have been the go to version for early adopters anyway.
I still think the system will do just fine, but I understand why some now feel like they get shafted on the hardware, then shafted on the software, and having to pay for the Welcome Tour as a cherry on top.
