Just realized after reading the recent manufacturing cost estimate that the tablet is so cheap. I suspect it will retail at 79.99$. But this got me thinking about the future. Nintendo could now release new models of the tablet itself we know it will be able to play apps and likely have memory add one etc..etc..
Nintendo could release a new tablet model in 2013 right when Sony launches their console. By then the basic models manufacturing costs will be far lower. Nintendo could release a 1080p tablet with the texture screen we recently heard about. Maybe a 16-gig internal memory. An actual tablet.
Nintendo could retail this tablet at 150$ it would work with WiiU but could also be brought a short distance away. It wouldn't add features that would effect game play on the older model. Thus meaning older consumers wouldn't have to upgrade if you wanted the higher end tablet you could simply go to the store and buy it. It would be a luxury that adds to game play it would also give Nintendo another tool to hit competitors.
Not to mention the new model would sell and Nintendo could turn a massive profit off each unit. Of course the tablets primary purpose would be to be used with the WiiU but it would be able to work without it for a little while.
hat do you think do you want Nintendo to release new models? Is it a smart business plan?
