| KingdomHeartsFan said: How much do you expect their next handheld to cost if it can run Wii U games? I think if they are gonna come out with another handheld it should be around $150, going over $200 is suicide. Also with that console you envision do you see it getting third party support? |
As of right now, the cost of hardware to make a Wii U is $300 (as Nintendo said they are not making them at a loss anymore). Next we minus out the cost of the gamepad because the gamepad IS the handheld. Then minus the difference in cost of the hardware due to it's loss in value due to advancements in tech over the next 3 years. Add the cost of a screen with touch capabilities. If they pulled a vita and sold it with very limited memory and made you buy a flash card then we could also minus the cost of a 35GB hard drive for a much cheaper one. I think it could sell at no loss in 3 years (produced in 2 years) for around $250, but sold for a small loss and profitable with the sales of a few games at $200.
