Early adopters tend to be enthusiasts who aren't bothered by price and just want the cool new console.

The time for cheaper SKUs like the inevitable Lite model will be later down the line once the initial rush is over.

It's just how the console business works. Unless your platform is a disaster, you're going to sell everything you ship initially anyway, so there's less reason to have a cut price version from day 1.

I don't remember Nin doing business like that with SW1, and the hype around it was pretty huge.  

Switch 1 at launch cost the same as a PS4, and it didn't get a cheaper model until more than two years into its life.
