Why is the Nintendo Switch so expensive?

I have had a Nintendo Switch since December 24, 2017 and am very unhappy. After about 1.25 years, my Joy Cons started to drift. After about 2 years my linker Joy Con is no longer recognized.

Then of course I wonder how something like that can cost 330 euro. This is more than an Xbox. And it has a lot more power. Of course, the Nintendo Switch has a screen, but it only has 720p. So the switch was released, there were also good and big games. (Mario Odyssey, BOTW. Later only Mario Maker and ACNH came.) But for 3 years that's not enough. I will therefore get the Xbox Series X as soon as possible. Since I'm not at all happy with Nintendo.

The hardware in there also costs a lot of money

The Nvidia chips that nintendo uses should make up the most of the price

It usually costs 300 euro, but Corona increased prices. And maybe the console costs 300 euro because it is not a home console and not a handheld but a hybrid. So actually a home console and a handheld which is more special than just a handheld or home console

Nintendo repairs the joycons for free, just ask Nintendo Germany

Is due to Nintendo, which is always expensive from the games

but I'm happy with it, even if I've had a bad purchase with Dragon Quest Builders 1

With other AAA titles, the price is no different. 60 euro is standard.

Jup but with PC you can at least get cheap key or get cheaper through summer sale

Nintendo has invested a lot in portability at switch and that it is also reasonably quiet

The Nvidia tegra chip that you install does not cost very little either

You can imagine it like Apple who also benefit a lot from exclusive programs like Nintendo from exclusive games

As if there were no discounts on console games

Only at nintendo are the discount campaigns so well

Well, there are some in the e-shop

Yes but they are not so cool now that you can also pay full price

315 is the standard price in our shop.

Was the price always like this? So for years?
