Based on what's described here, I think $299.99 is most likely, though $249.99 could be possible if they reallllllllllllly pushed it. Maybe something in between like $269.99. 

There's a major problem in using NVidia Floating Point Performance when compared to the AMD components in those consoles, both companies measure their end performance differently and Flops don't tell the whole story.

Looking at the GTX 750ti compared to the HD 7870 (a bigger GPU than what's in PS4) the 750ti is meant to only have 1306GFlops, the  7870 has 2560 GFlops, yet both are very close in end gaming performance, plus the GTX 750 ti gets better performance per watt.

The games developed for the Tegra X1 in Shield and other tablets aren't developed with Vulkan or some other more modern, balanced and mutlithreaded API, so NX could in reality hit closer to XB1 than people are thinking, then there's the very real possibility that this rumor could be a small part of the picture, like maybe NX has another component for home or the SOC in these rumors isn't the final chip to be used in NX or the base station also features another Tegra X1 to help put out a better quality experience when you're home.

Even if the gap between PS4/XB1 and NX was accurate based on those pure flop numbers NX in these rumors isn't a pure home console, so direct comparisions don't really make much sense.

I doubt Nintendo are using a straight copy of the Tegra X1 chip, it's probably had modifications, though tbh I'm also doubtful that they're even using an NVidia part, especially when they've had a great business relationship with AMD for 3 console generations and AMD can provide for their handheld/console needs with complete products for their processing requirements.

PSP was the only (mainstream) handheld to plug into TV. I used to have all the other options mind and loved it.

But I meant 1 device functioning great as a handheld and home console.

PSP you had to hold the console itself rather than use a separate control pad. Apart from with the PSP Go, but that buggered it up by all the best psp games not being on the digital store.

PSTV shows the functionality I would like from a handheld console connecting to a TV.

As for the nomad, that battery life means it was never a portable XD

Now if we only got that supplemental device to beef up the power of the NX so that the core device is cheap and affordable for everyone but if people like me want an improved experience paying more they let us purchase them so the device can have specs on par with the competition...

They could be using the Tegra X2/Parker chip instead, that is the new Nvidia chip they are reportedly showing at the end of August this year.

The Tegra X1 is fairly old by this point. Though with Nintendo who knows.

Maybe it could have two power modes ... 

Portable mode (400 GFLOP; resolution is reduced to 960x540 or 640x480, some effects can be reduced, consumes 6-10 watts/hour). 

Home mode plugged in to wall (ramps up to 800 GFLOP-1 TFLOP, 720p-1080p resolution depending on the game consumes 16-20 watts/hour). 

The 3DS and Wii online is pretty bad but the Wii U has a solid online service. Its not as good as PSN or XBLive but its a decent online service. Also the reception of Pokken was a lot better than Sticker Star and there are people that enjoy sticker star. Pokken is doing really well. According to NPD it has already outsold SFV and Street Fighter is an established ip.

If the system sells well and is decently powered then the system will sell well. There is a rumor saying its only a little bit weaker than the xbox one which means third parties is still a possible. Since this is a hybrid it already a given that it will sell 20 million in Japan alone and 10 million here in the US.

There are Nintendo fans that only play consoles so by having a hybrid the hardcore console fans will buy, the hardcore handheld fans will buy, and so will the casuals.

Sounds like another hand held...

To be honest, I think Wii U honestly killed Nintendo's dedicated home console division. It was the final nail in the coffin, Nintendo was never going to do the whole "lets make a PS4 Neo/Scorpio killer" thing either anyway because the GameCube failed trying that strategy.

Either they needed some kind of new unbelievable gimmick to fall into their lap and even that, VR is probably the new big gimmick for the industry, and Sony got to that first and it doesn't fit into Nintendo's needs for various reasons (expensive, not kid friendly, not family gaming centric).

Utilizing chip advances in the mobile field to create a hybrid device I think was always the fall back plan.

They can make a lot of money taking a 30% cut off all Android apps ... I think that Nikkei report was always correct and Nintendo is using Android (albiet a forked, custom version of it where they control the eStore). Nikkei has been right about almost everything they report about Nintendo. 

Is tegra SLI possible?
