Most rumors are putting it at $250 wifi only and model & $300 for 4G model, extra storage and a game.

So basically taking a page from the Vita's launch then.  $250 for WiFi only would be great, especially for a portable console that has local multiplayer capability right out of the box.

1.) 3DS has 60 milion sold not 80 million. The Wii U has an additional 14 million, but a heavy cross section of that also are 3DS owners, so it's probably really more like 65-67 million actual unique owners. Of that some people are going to be pissed off with the Wii U and are not coming back either, and they shouldn't be blamed for feeling that way, Wii U is Nintendo's Sega Saturn. 

2.) EA has only promised one game. One. That means FIFA or Madden. Not both. Maybe if that one game sells then we'll see more. COD has not been promised either. 

3.) IMO tablets and phones are going to continue to erode the portable market. We haven't seen the bottom yet, it's like a cancer that's gone unchecked for like 5 years, you can hope the damage is limited, but it may very well turn out to be uglier than anticipated. 3DS benefitted from coming out when the App Store and things like tablets were in their infacy and still got a couple of good years in before things went south. Switch has no such benefit, it is coming to a market where most kids already have daily access to a tablet or phone device which thousands of free games and other entertainment options on them to boot.

100 million only happens if Nintendo creates a new break-out blockbuster IP, like what Pokemon to Game Boy, Mario to NES, etc. (or Splatoon becomes a monster system seller of that caliber, driving sales to people who don't buy Nintendo hardware). 

I think 50-60 million is more realistic. There is still going to be a little more erosion from tablets, especailly as you get better and better tablets available in the $99 range. I think cheap physical controller add-ons for tablets are also going to become more and more common place in the next 5 years. 

I think as long as Nintendo is able to achieve similar profits to that of the seventh gen days, then they would be pleased. With the combination of going multi-media and focusing on the hybrid with their big games and with a little help from third party and indies, then it can work. The theme park should be a big hit and should get great traffic in Japan once the Olympics hit. We'll have to see what's more in store for Nintendo besides the theme parks, mobile, and their new hardware.

PSVITA is slowly dying in Japan. If Sony is not going to release another handheld, this is only good news for the Switch. It will give them an advantage if those Vita games heads on to the switch. 

1st time hear about this, where you heard for 4g model?

I think it was Laura Kate Dale........but i might be mistaken

I don't recall anyone said something like that, but definitely would be great that more expensive Switch has 4G, but I doubt about that..

Nothing better than a good double laugh to start the day.
