It's getting down voted because it's not $600 it's $400. Which is exactly how much the switch costed at launch. Well not exactly. The switch cost money to play online. So it's actually cheaper

excellent point and not trying to be pedantic, just pointing this out because i used to make the same mistake, the past tense of cost is cost.

Additionally you can get the games much cheaper. Steam games are normally much cheaper than the Nintendo closed store. You also have Hero launcher which allows you Epic And Gog games. Epic gifts every week a new game. That alone is more than most switch players will own.
