The 3DS has been around since 2011. Of course it has a lower price and bigger library than something that's literally just come out. That's going to be the situation with most consoles at launch.And and the 3DS family is much, much cheaper, and has a much, much bigger library. My point is that the Switch is supposed to be a home console and handheld in one, but it is far too expensive to compete with the 3DS family as a handheld, and will be more expensive than the PS4 and Xbone as a home console. It is in a tricky situation, at least at launch.
The PS4 and XBox1 have been out since 2013. (and just one year after the WiiU's release) That's not a party that the Switch is late for-it's a party that's reaching its end. And the Playstation and XBox lines are developing new consoles as well, if I'm not mistaken.You should know that a big portion of the people in the world don´t have enough money to buy more than one home console, and therefore have to choose which one they wanna buy. And that´s where the Switch is at disatvantage: it is coming late to the party, since a lot of homeconsole users have already bought either a PS4 or an Xbone.
Silly Nintendo! These consoles that have been out for years have already lowered their prices-why haven't you done that already with your console that hasn't even launched yet?If the Switch was at least a bit cheaper, it could attract the portion of buyers that don´t have a home console yet thanks to it´s attractive price, but no, the Switch will cost MORE than the competition, because the competition has already lowered it´s price, and the Switch hasn´t yet.
