I'll agree with you on the cost of the peripherals, but $299 for a brand new console that is also portable (or vice versa) is not that bad. And the whole "only good game in the foreseeable future" is not just hyperbole, it's flat out bullshit. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe comes out a month later, Splatoon 2 soon after that, Has Been Heroes, I am Setsuna, Rime, Shovel Knight, Snipperclips, Super Bomberman, etc... There may not be 100 games out for the system right away, but there are more than enough good games that will be available to justify buying the system.
