What are you wondering about and why won't you have the console?
(I could imagine a few reasons, but I want to listen to your specific arguments).

I rather like the look of it, but it's way too expensive. I can't even afford an Xbox One or PS4 and those are now much better value than the Switch will be at launch.

It's right.
300€ would be okay, but anything above from that, also taking into account, that there will be no starter-game like Wii Sports was for the Wii, is way too much!
Plus the Online-mode, that's not free anymore as of Autumn 2017. That's, from my pov, the worst part of the Switch. Everything else can be excused somehow, but I hate it, that they will arrange an online-mode I've to pay for.
Splatoon was one of my favourite games on the Wii U and now they publish Splatoon 2, but I can't play online or only in exchange for a fee?
Nope!
(Before someone comes up with the online-modes of the Xbox and Playstation: I wouldn't want to pay for them either and never paid for them, as I had a Xbox.)

There are a few reasons.

1- I'm Venezuelan, and the crisis my country has faced for the last four years has made me, and lots of others, slowly slip into poverty. We used to be able to travel abroad, and now we have to use most of our money buying whatever food we can find. Just so you have an idea, a US dollar's real value (the value the government gives has no basis in reality anymore) in Venezuela is about 3,000 bolívares (our currency); the minimum wage is 34,000 bolívares, most of it going towards food (and the prices are so inflated they rise almost every week).

2- Even without that variable, $300 (convert it to my currency if you want. It's depressing, really) is way too much for that type of console (and paying for online play is bullshit).

3- If I had that kind of money, I would buy myself a nice PS4 already. I've been unable to buy a new-gen console due to Reason No.1.

4- Very few people would sell the thing here, as importing stuff has gotten significantly difficult due to, again, Reason No.1. Also, the ones who do sell videogames have to hike the price up in order to turn whatever meager profit they can make (only the ultra-rich can buy that stuff now).

It's a disappointment really (Zelda: Breath of the Wild looks fucking amazing). I have missed three years of this console generation, and will probably have missed it entirely by the time this crisis ends. I'll also have to move in with my aunt in a town near Caracas for university purposes, so... it'll be even harder. Star Wars: Battlefront, Battlefield 1, Uncharted 4... all great games I can't play.
