I don't think there's an issue with no pack in game. Neither Microsoft or Sony offer a pack in, and the Switch is set to a lower price than both of those were at launch.
However, I do question the pricing on some items. 1-2-Switch is not a $50 game. And Puyo Puyo Tetris should not be $40. Some of the pricing just seems odd. I think $300 on the Switch is fine, but the accessory pricing is high, especially on the pro-controller. A new ps4 controller is $60, and I see no reason the Switch pro should be $70.
I'm still excited for the Switch overall, but I think with pricing on some items, expect many to be bought used or after price drops. That's bad for developers partially because it suggests a game was not popular, when in fact the price point was set too high
While I don't think it hurts the hardware sales, I just don't see a lot of people paying full retail of $50 USD for 1-2-Switch. It has some cute ideas but this is not a $50 game. Even my wife, a casual gamer who likes this type of stuff said she would only pay $20 to $30 max for it.
Bomberman was never a out good graphics, but local multi-player mayhem. I know people will knock it, but I would buy the Switch just for a new physical release Bomberman game. This is what my friends and I played all the time on the Snes back in the 90s while in high school. We all got back together recently for a wedding and played Bomberman all night. For those that have played and love Tower fall, Bomberman was the Tower fall of my generation, but with bombs instead of arrows

To clarify my first post, if Nintendo priced it at $350 to include this and I found out I paid $50 more because of this game, I'd be a little pissed
