From my perspective I'm not really considering it as a Switch replacement

This is precisely why I think it's going to fail. It's directly competing with a system that's both cheaper and actually grants users access to unique things they otherwise wouldn't have.

I gave it some thought earlier and came to the conclusion that I might buy something like this in the $99-149 range - but at $399 as a base price, when you also need to add additional components? Not a chance. That's an incredible price for something that is ultimately closer to a "nice novelty to have" than anything truly remarkable, that will probably be going obsolete within 2 years when there are already an entire plethora of games it can't handle.

The only real selling point this could've had was as a cheaper Switch alternative, and it's... Not. It's a more expensive product that brings less to the table and is made by a company with a shaky history of physical products. What's worse is, I don't think it's even possible for them to sell it for low enough to actually get the interest of most gamers. I like the concept, but unfortunately I think this is going to bomb disastrously.
