at $250 it will do okay but...

...soccer moms.   lol

It's Nintendo's bread and butter.  It's why they try so hard every time with them.

did soccer moms buy a 3DS?

switch is a pretty standard handheld marketed as a home console.

Why do you think the 3DS is sitting at around 60 million sold?  With a large chunk of its sales after its price cut to 170.

For your last part, there's a reason I expect this device to be a train wreck for Nintendo.

Nintendo Switch is definitely going to be in a weird place.  

Especially if so many people are expecting a handheld at handheld costs, while Nintendo wants it to be a hybrid console that'll probably end up with a hybrid cost.

Nintendo Switch price 'revealed' and it's ASTONISHINGLY cheap

200$ - 250$.  
200 pounds.

I'm guessing $200 is for the standalone console and $250 is the console + a game.

Fingers crossed for a Switch + Pokemon Star bundle (if it actually exists).

So apparently zelda will be june and switch version out first.
Mario 3d at launch and a few ports within the launch months.

Reggie Appearing on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon Next Wednesday - NeoGAF

At least one of them can be funny.

We don't know what he'll be promoting, but Reggie Fils-Aime is going to be stopping by Late Night with Jimmy Fallon next Wednesday. We're going to go ahead and guess this appearance has something to do with Super Mario Run. Let's see if we end up being right!

So sly

The switch is like an RV.  Not as nice to drive as a car, and not as nice to live in as a house.  
But it can find its niche.

Digital Foundry: Nintendo Switch CPU and GPU clock speeds revealed - NeoGAF

Clock-speeds are a crucial piece of information required to get some idea of Switch's capabilities beyond the physical make-up of the Tegra processor. As many have speculated, the new Nintendo hardware does indeed feature two performance configurations - and the console is categorically not as capable in mobile form, compared to its prowess when docked and attached to an HDTV. And we can confirm that there is no second GPU or additional hardware in the dock itself regardless of the intriguing patents that Nintendo has filed suggesting that there might be. With battery life and power throughput no longer an issue, the docked Switch simply allows the GPU to run much faster. And to put it simply, there is a night and day difference here.Where Switch remains consistent is in CPU power - the cores run at 1020MHz regardless of whether the machine is docked or undocked. This ensures that running game logic won't be compromised while gaming on the go: the game simulation itself will remain entirely consistent. The machine's embedded memory controller runs at 1600MHz while docked (on par with a standard Tegra X1), but the default power mode undocked sees this drop to 1331MHz. However, developers can opt to retain full memory bandwidth in their titles should they choose to do so.
 As things stand, CPU clocks are halved compared to the standard Tegra X1, but it's the GPU aspect of the equation that will prove more controversial. Even while docked, Switch doesn't run at Tegra X1's full potential. Clock-speeds are locked here at 768MHz, considerably lower than the 1GHz found in Shield Android TV, but the big surprise from our perspective was the extent to which Nintendo has down-clocked the GPU to hit its thermal and battery life targets. That's not a typo: it really is 307.2MHz - meaning that in portable mode, Switch runs at exactly 40 per cent of the clock-speed of the fully docked device. And yes, the table below does indeed confirm that developers can choose to hobble Switch performance when plugged in to match the handheld profile should they so choose.

Dear god, is that even stronger than Wii U?

$199 or doom.
