The Nvidia TV alone is $199 and it doesn't have a lot of storage, a screen and its not as compact, thisc onsole will surely be priced like a home console, and if the specs are not stronger then the nvidia TV it just won't compare to the current gen, let alone the Scorpio/Neo. Obviously it will be the strongest handheld, but who will buy a dedicated game console for $300 or more except maybe die-hard nintendo fans?

you guys have a good point.

If the NX alows Nintendo Console and Handheld or both gamers together....... We can expect high numbers! Especially if this means that Yokai Watch, Pokemon, Monster Hunter, Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem will be also or be back on consoles!!!

And theres Splatoon which could have its handheld debut!!!

If does turn out to be Tegra X1, and hence less powerful than an Xbox One, I don't think they can get away with selling it at more than $250. 

The Nvidia Shield console will be almost two years old by the time NX launches and is likely sold at a fat mark up by Nvidia, because that's what they do with everything since they don't make money off games. Nintendo can seller much closer to or right at cost. 

LCD display prices have plummeted the last 2-3 years too, there's $60-$70 tablets today with 720p or even better displays now that are 7 inches or larger. 

Has any handheld ever successfully been priced as a console? People won't be willing to drop more than $250 for a handheld. Just look at the 3ds. It was a flop when it started out at $250, but it was saved when it dropped to $180

This isn't a "handheld". It's a hybrid console. There's never been anything like this really so using past examples for the future doesn't make sense. 

There HAS been a console that was woefully underpowered moreso than the Tegra X1 is to an XBox One ... that was called the Wii. That did OK. 

Inflation adjusted that would cost right around $299.99 today. 

Is impossible to make a decent prediction right now, there's too many things about the console we don't know including the price, I like the idea, there are some things that don't make a lot of sense though, but that could easily be because is not so well described, I do understand the concept they are going for and I think this could end up selling like 3DS, but again, need more info.

Its a handheld you hook up to your TV...

It could potentially sell as much as the 3DS has, and then some, because it ll be the only "console" option from nintendo this time, so not only will it sell to the handheld users, but also to the people that buy nintendos home consoles.

If nintendo play its cards right, the NX should atleast go over 50m lifetime.

Honestly, without more info on the detachable controllers this thing is still pretty hard to fully understand... I was expecting maybe a handheld that could stream wirelessly to a tv, but this thing is going to be quite different. We also don't know about price yet. If it's aiming to capture the handheld market it has to be cheap. The fact it docks rather than streams to tv could be a cost cutting feature.

Anyway, if they can make it for a good price I could see it doing better than the 3ds. Zelda alone will ensure early sales beat the 3ds' and focusing their first party dev on one console will greatly improve the number of first party games.

After the wii u, is does feel daring to predict any positive sales for a Nintendo console but there you go.

If so, then you can't look at the install bases for handhelds (such as the ds) and call them gauranteed buyers of the NX.

It's funny that you mention the wii even though the same strategy was adopted for the wii u, and we all know how that turned out...
