| SuperNova said: Is there even a way for nintendo to make a console that is both, more powerful than the PS4 and at the same time prices at about 300-350$ without taking a loss on harware? Seeing that Miyamoto thinks the 350$ pricepoint was too high already I don't see how NX could really compete. But if they want any kind of third party support it will have to. |
X1 is selling for 350 and ps4 is possibly closer to 50 profit per console.
So Nintendo could release today wiiu2 without gamepad for 350 or 400 with it and very close to ps4x1 specs.
By Holiday 2016 they could possibly go with gamepad for 250 and with it 300, maybe even lower without being far from ps4. And both cases with no finnancial hit. But from the interview it seems like they want to go more towards 200,00 with gimic. So I wouldn't expect something close to x1 powerwise. Maybe 80% of x1 power... For the moment released it may be enough, but 2 years later and ps5/nextbox it will be even worse than now.
