The wait is over: the Nintendo Switch has been officially revealed. We know the specs, we know the launch titles, and we know the price.

But it's that last factor which has proven a sticking point for some. At £279, the Switch is going to cost a lot more than the £200 price tag many had been expecting.

The question is, has Nintendo priced its would-be comeback console right? Or, with an RRP more expensive than every console currently on the market (bar the PS4 Pro), has it set the entry bar too high?
