I just largely improved the sound quality (removed hiss with sensitive earphones) when in portable mode. It's called the ifi iEMatch and it lowers the output volume by 24 dB. Great improvement of dynamics, but only useful when you have enough volume reserves.
According to this article the switch costs $257 to manufacture. Doesn't look like this includes the retailers cut but to me it looks like they got the costing spot on. They are selling at a profit. Now as we all know manufacturing costs do come down which is positive for a future price cut but as it stands I think we are getting a good deal.

''The Japanese teardown firm Fomalhaut has confirmed that the Nintendo Switch manufacturing cost is around $257, while the console is being sold at around $299.
That’s a roughly 42 dollar profit for Nintendo for each Switch sold, and considering how many Switches have been sold it comes up to a pretty tidy amount.''
They have no idea what they're talking about, have they?
@Octane if those figures are accurate I doubt Nintendo will see very much of that $42. Between retailer margin, advertising, packaging, transport and wastage with DOA switch. If they clear $10 per switch they'll be doing okay.
@BigBadJohn, Good thing Nintendo's got game sales to cover profits. Also, it's possible Nintendo has struck deals with manufactures like Nvidia to lower the costs of materials, since the success of a device like this is mutually beneficial for everyone involved.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE What a great week for Microsoft in Japan! Those figures suggest that they've seen a whopping 62% increase in week-to-week Xbox One sales - the best of any console on the market!
Got Lego City Undercover yesterday, the update patch is less than 500mb (479mb I think?).
Loading times seem decent too. No worse than Zelda.

I could see a PS4 spike happening with next week's charts due to Persona 5. We've reached the point where in half a year there's been 4 games released that at several points seemed to be indefinitely delayed (FFXV, The Last Guardian, BotW, Persona 5).
It's looking like Ultra Street Fighter II may be Switch's big May game, it's coming out May 26th which is the equivalent date to MK8 and Splatoon for 2014 and 2015 respectively (last Friday of May).
I'm more thinking ARMS will be that game that leads into E3 month. Don't think Street Fighter will be that game simply because it's not first party. I could be wrong and Nintendo may use that as a focus.

If I was only ever able to have Monster Hunter and EO games in the future, I would be a happy man.
