I too don`t want Nintendo to be in that high price range.

Something in between might be the best way to tell parents that it`s cheap enough for their kids but also good enough for them to use aswell, so they feel more comfortable when thinking about buying one.

To be honest, they could sell a pretty kick ass tablet for $179-$199 if they were willing to use more off-the-shelf/heavily mass produced components. They could initially take a somewhat smaller profit margin/unit (maybe $5 profit/system). 

But as costs scale down over time that $5 would turn into $10-$25/unit profit if they could hold the same MSRP. 

Could a tablet of, let`s say 250$, work with a better console than PS4?

Unless Nintendo feels confident that they can sell several million tablets, that profit might be too low for them at first. Tablets tend to drop prices faster than consoles.
