Console dock. (199$, stand alone, to run the games at higher IQ. If they can reach 1080p/60FPS at that or a lower price point they'll be gold.) All games are cross compatible, they run at higher IQ on the console. Throw in some incentives for people who have both? This time around, they can't sell BOTH systems at a massive loss. That seems about right. |
I kinda think of the Fusion a seperate thing, I think that's more of the 3DS + Wii U successor all in one.
How about a lower end "budget tablet" in addition to the above:
$139.99 MSRP
5.8-inch 1280x720 LCD (no 3D) single screen multitouch.
3DS chipset + an extra Snapdragon 800 mobile chip lets say (should be dirt cheap by now) with 512MB of RAM.
Perhaps "removable" controller wings so you can position the screen horizontally or vertically (DS/3DS legacy mode).
NES, Super NES, N64, Game Boy/GBA, DS, 3DS back catalog games ($0.99-$19.99).
NFC chip built in for Amiibo support.
Runs customized Android OS (like Kindle Fire), has access to Android apps, but only Nintendo approved ones through Nintendo store. Nintendo charges a small "Nintendo tax" on game apps (so they get a cut of the action). So Angry Birds would be $1.50 instead of $0.99 with Nintendo getting a 50 cent cut per download.
I think this would clean up in the budget tablet marketspace, but I don't think Nintendo is too vehemently against the devaluing of software prices from the $39.99-$59.99 norm to go this route.
