Apple is selling the new iPod touch for $199 (the same A8-SoC as in the iPhone 6, 1136x640 resolution, 1 GB RAM, 16 GB flash memory) and they don't sell hardware without a big profit margin: https://www.apple.com/ipod-touch/

So the NX-handheld could be in that performance area.


Good point. The A8 outperforms the Vita by a mile too on a higher res display. Keep in mind too the NX is like 16 months out from launch too ... what they could probably get in this price range could very well be more comparable to the A9 chip coming this fall. 

Also since Nintendo likely will go for a lower resolution (ish) screen (1280x720 perhaps) ... such a chip could really cook in a portable.
