maybe a couple valid reasons but a few of'em are bullshyt



"Sony & Microsoft are coming out with new consoles which could outclass the Switch"

...huh? The Switch having inferior hardware isn't a valid reason for its potential failure. Today's gamers are hyper obsessed with hardware and it's getting under my skin. They act like bleeding edge graphics determines everything.

The industry can't support 3 'regular' systems. No one would buy it.

1. Nintendo has not officially come out to say that it isn't a touchscreen but the lady(?) who broke the Switch rumor's also says that the screen is multi touch.

2. It's a normal console if you leave it docked.

Switch rumored to be $250

Today’s report, backed up by one previously used source and one new source who I have vetted thoroughly, is that UK specialist gaming retail chain GAME has been informed of the Nintendo Switch’s wholesale price to retailers, and is planning on selling their basic SKU of the system in stores for £199.99.

It is important to note this is not a Nintendo set RRP, as in the UK manufacturers are not allowed to set RRP prices for consoles. However, it is safe to assume this gives us a solid indication of the price the system will sell at nationwide.

We have also learned that a separate SKU featuring more internal storage and a packed in game is planned to sell at £249.99. We have heard rumours as to what this pack in game is, but we currently have only one source on this information so we are unwilling to talk about that pack in title at this time.

Both our sources have told us that additional Switch Pro Controllers are expected to sell at launch for £39.99 at GAME.

Lastly, we have been told that Nintendo is planning for the Switch to be close to direct conversion price comparable across regions, which we have been told is tied into their push for the system to be region free. This would in theory put the USA price of the system at approximately $249.99 and $299.99 (This is based off conversions, not any insider information).
