Let's not kid ourselves, the Switch needs to be $249. At least in NA. With news today of what to expect for oil prices, massive spike in health insurance cost now starting, and food prices unexpectedly going up.
People will have far less disposable income than what they envisioned. Especially with Gas $2.75 to $4.00/gallon across majority of United States. Some people's budgets could be far tighter than the 2016 budget was.
Switch needs to have a $249 option, without even consdering that PS4 slim and Xbone Slim may hit $229 by E3 and even $199 by holiday 2017.
