I hope the NX is a 10 year, mega powerful console, that is expensive.

Now we're getting more reasonable!

As for price I'm thinking something like $249.99 for each at launch. I'm also thinking they may not have a traditional 5-6 year cycle and instead will opt for upgrades roughly every 3 years.

Basically the Portable gets bumped up to the Tablet specs (720p), the Tablet gets bumped up to the Console specs (1080p) and the Console is now about 2x as powerful (still 1080p but improved graphical effects).

All or most games will still be playable on older models, perhaps once Gen 3 devices (P-1080p, T-1440p, C-4k) release they will start to become obsolete but that still would give them a full 6 years of support.

Price I can agree with if the systems do not offer anything more than the ability to share software. If there is an updated version of the gamepad (720 display, ect) I can see the MSRP being around $300. 

As for upgrades every three years, it may be possible, but still something I don't really see. It may be like their New 3DS system, where the updated hardware may get some exclusives, but the majority of games would still be for both gens.... I don't know, as I said, this is hard to see for me. I think this will have a lot to do with the success of the New 3DS. I would be all for an add on (think 32X for the Sega Genesis) that allows for games to detect the device and add more effects to the game if the device is detected, but a whole new console would be a pretty big gamble.
