Well I for one have just pre ordered it. Just for that lovely new Zelda game. At 329 euros was a little pricey but hey



Knowing I bought m'y PS4 pro + à game at 350 euros, it makes no sense to buy à Switch at this price.



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

 

Either that custom Tegra or those Joycons cost a lot or Nintendo is trying to move into a more Apple territory by charging higher prices.



DOA. After the launch this thing is going to drop hard. It must have been 250 with 1-2Switch, Arms and Snipclippers pack in.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

probably the joycons, not cheap.



With the prices this high, either we see Nintendo rising from the ashes, or we will have a new third party developer in the market with IPs like Mario, Zelda, etc etc.

I was not and am not even going to buy it, but this indeed is really something to be pissed off about.

I mean what could possibly be the reason? $299 is already 70-100 too expensive for what it is, and the usual 1:1 translation to Euro already means things are slightly more expensive anyway, but then they make it €329 to boot? What could that priceraise possibly be for other than to just milk European consumers?
