Pricing issues that Switch 1 had eight years ago to refresh people's memories or for those who weren't around back then:

1. The console itself.

2. Pro Controller costs $10 more than a DualShock 4.

3. Joy-Cons cost $10 more than the already too expensive Pro Controller.

4. Console doesn't ship with a charging grip for the Joy-Cons. Fat extra cost.

5. Price of the dock.

6. 1-2-Switch costs $50.

7. Wii U remasters cost $60.

8. Nintendo Switch Online will cost $60. Nintendo hadn't announced a price for it at the time, but it was going to be expensive because "Nintendo."

9. Super Bomberman R and Ultra Street Fighter IV. They were Switch-exclusive, hence why they got flack while the more expensive multiplats for Switch 2 get a pass.

10. SD cards. Absolute necessity at or near launch due to only 32 GB of internal storage.

And of course a PS4 or Xbox One was the same price or cheaper, so it was criminal that a new Nintendo console would launch into the same price range.

Lets not forget the hardware perception, some people even thought that was less capable than Wii U
