    1. It's still $400 + tax.
    2. Slow pipeline of first party titles
    3. Very limited third party support
    4. Nintendo's consoles often have short life spans
    5. Nintendo's consoles suffer from droughts.
    6. It's another box to clutter the television setup
    7. The console is a tablet with few to no apps.
    8. It's going to get a refresh with a slimmer body and better screen.

    I wish I built a gaming PC instead of buying an X1, PS4, WiiU, 3DS. It would've been more powerful than those combined and it would've been great for film editing and music mixing.

    The Switch just seems like half of what I would spend on a gaming PC.

    i spent 384 after taxes for the switch and zelda combined. if your paying 400 still then your doing it wrong.

    But I have Zelda on Wii U (amazing game), don't know what xenoblade is... is Mario Odyssey alone worth $400? I'm tempted

    It's not out until Oct. but it's going to be an amazing game. How do you not know what xenoblade is? The first one was the best rpg game ever.
