Have you seen the price of the Pro controller? and the Joy controllers?

I notee in the op that I'm fearing of the manufacturing cost of these things...

High price doesn't always mean high manufacturing cost though!

I-phone costs 199-220$ to be made and apples sells it for more than 700$!

Wii costed 99$ and Nintendo sold it for 250$!

Here. Tell me Nintendo doesn't have serious problems with the Switch pricing.

I think you should change your thread title to something else.....I don't see anyone saying that they will NEVER cut the price of the Switch....they are saying that the LAUNCH price is to high....Of course they will eventually cut the price.....doesn't change the fact that the launch price is to high IMO.

Yes but with they way they're acting (  overstating ) it's like saying it!

 

Some instead of saying this: I will wait for a price drop, they say that :I will skip switch as I did with wii u because of that overly high price...

Yeah I understand what you are saying but honestly with the price of accessories and the price of the console at launch it is understandbale. I will personally be holding out on the Switch for more games and a better price.

$250 would have been great. Gonna wait for a Mario Kart bundle.

I agree

but looking at the Wii U track record, and Nintendo being Nintendo, they might make some dumb decisions :/

Yeah, I imagine the console will drop in price with time, down to 250 USDs. I think it should have been that from the start, but I don't think it'll stay at 299 forever.

Not sure if serious but... The PlayStation 3 never fully recovered after its failed launch and just barely passed the X360 at the end of its life. From the 160 Millions PS2, they got to 80 Millions PS3. 

 

The Xbox One, even today, never recovered from its really difficult first months and had to abandon the Kinect in order to stay in the competition, but never managed to look like a real competitor to the PS4 because of the big gap in sales in this first year: the competition was already over. 

 

You're right, people were exaggerating, these price never did any harm to their respective console... 

Come on lol of course I was being sarcastic

Pfew, thanks ^^. With all the crazy expectations and then reactions about the Switch, with some people trying even today to defend anything, I wasn't sure :D
