Nintendo har tidligere været ganske berømt for at pakke et spil sammen med deres konsoller, og det har tidligere ledt til stor succes. Dog har firmaet været ganske klare i spyttet om, at dette ikke bliver tilfældet med Switch, der udkommer d. 3 marts.
Reggie Fils-Aime har udtalt følgende til GameSpot:
"We look at every launch uniquely as to what's the right thing to do for that launch. And I've been involved in launches dating back to the Nintendo DS. Each one is a little different. For this launch, what we found is that with the range of software that's coming - not only available day one but through April and into the summer, and including the holiday timeframe with Super Mario Odyssey - that we wanted to enable the consumer to buy the software they want, to look to get to the most approachable price point we could get to. That led us to a $299 price point, and let the consumer decide what games they want to buy."
Fils-Aime har derefter tilføjet:
"Certainly, lower is always better, but at a $349 or $399 price point, we just didn't feel that was the right place to be. So we start there. And then it's all about, what's going to be included? Obviously the inclusion of the two Joy-Con, critically important; all the right cables, the dock, critically important. We also have to do this from a financial perspective as well. Once we got to that bundle, it really needed to be at $299 without a piece of software."
