Getting rid of paid multiplayer would be a huge contributing factor. Yes, I know you don't have to pay now, but you will eventually.
I think $300 is a fair price, but I expect a price drop to $250 in the future.
It's widely believed that the Switch is using Nvidia's Tegra X1 chip, which for a mobile processor is the best they have to offer. It's also used in their Shield TV. With the massive oversights and cheapening out, Nintendo might have to re-tool the Switch, and that would take some time. They'll have games! They'll totally have games! Nintendo are totally warming up to 3rd-party devs now! It's totally not going to be like the Wii and Wii U anymore! He lies.
