But it's not an X1. It's a better version of the X1 with an expensive controller. The fact that Nintendo likes to sell their hardware with a profit makes it even more expensive.


Like I'm saying Wii U has a PowerPC CPU and X1 has a x86, so it would need TWO CPUs to play games for both systems. So it's not realistic that it would cost $349. Or would exist.

If it helps you consider the appeal of this product, you can say that pre-NBox Wii U games are available as download-only ported titles.  Post-NBox release titles can get a bridged release (like Zelda:TP) for a year or so until Wii U is phased out.  XBox One titles are playable on both One and NBox, being essentially the same system.

The controller isn't especially expensive.  Only marginally more than a standard XBOne controller.  It's two years from now and the screen is smaller than the Gamepad's.
