Woo-hoo!

A poll conducted by Japanese firm Hachima has revealed that a lot of players from Nintendo's homeland consider the Switch to be too expensive, but they don't mind paying for online services.

The first question in the survey asked about intent to buy, with the top answer (34.01 percent) stating that they had no interest in buying the console. The second most popular reply was the somewhat non-committal "I don't have any plans to get it" at 22.96 percent. 21.84 percent of people asked said they would buy a Switch after the launch date, while 21.19 percent said they would invest on day one.

The second question related to the price. The top response - with 42.47 percent - was that the system was a "little high" in cost. In second place was "just right" at 30.63 percent, while the third most popular answer was that the price was "really high", with 30.63 percent. "I think it's a little cheap" (4.72 percent) and "It's really cheap" (2.43 percent) were the two lowest-scoring replies.

Finally, the people polled were asked about the console's new paid online service. 62.32 percent said that they were in favour of a paid subscription for access to such services, while 37.68 percent were against.
