@lorddaggeroff:

I expect the Switch + Mario Odyssey bundle to be $400 AU at the end of the year. Retailers will have no choice but to sell it cheaper or no one will buy it. Xbox One Slim + a game is $400. Neither the Xbox One nor the PS4 had such big mark-ups here at launch.

@JustPlainLucas:

You sure like throwing away money. ;)

@videogameninja:

So much rubbish there, everything you said is wrong.

Scorpio is current gen, it is just a new variant like the XB1 S. They will be supporting the XB1 for years to come. But don't let the facts stop you from hating on it.

Besides Zelda and a few other games, the Switch doesn't have anything ready for launch.

Reggie is the biggest liar in the industry.

Should have just allowed us to use an external HD through the USB port, that is what I do with my XB1.

32GB isn't enough for updates and DLC purchases, let alone full digital games.

Compare those to the launch 3rd party games for the Wii U such as Mass Effect 3, AC 3, Black Ops 2, Darksiders 2, Batman.

@uchihasilver: $470 AU, here in Australia. The Xbox One Slim with a game is $400.

@freeryu: Clearly not as many as he has spent trolling this article.

@scrollinglayers:

I don't call a possible $299 tablet as high end.

Nintendo Switch is just a tablet handheld, the box is just a charging dock and TV out.

It is going to be horribly under powered so big name 3rd party games won't exist. Hard drive storage will once again be a big issue.

They have learned nothing at all. They just created an updated Wii U controller. Now they are going to take their handheld division down the drain along with their home consoles. This is the biggest abomination since the Virtual Boy.

Sadly I would rather them just be a 3rd party publisher and get out of hardware all together than watch them embarrass themselves constantly.
