OK, but home and handheld consoles always had very different price point because of power and cost for them.

I cant see why you think that NX handheld and home console will have same price? Home console will clearly have much more stronger hardware than handheld, because of that it will be clearly be more expensive.

I thinking around $250 for home and around $150 for handheld console.

Whats that based on? We all know the console will be stronger but not everyone expects it be signifcantly so. 

In which case the handheld could also come with a  built in  HD touch screen (possibly 3D), an additional screen (if Ninty sticks with dual screen), A portable battery, built in camera etc. $50-80  more spent the home consoles GPU, RAM and CPU+controller will be balanced  by money being spent on the handhelds screen and other functionality.

In the past there have been huge multi generational gulfs between the power of Nintendo's home console and handheld systems, which is why there is typically  a big price difference.Of course if you think we're going to get a 300Gflop handheld and then a 2.5 TFlop home console, that doesn't apply. But most people seem to be thinking the NX home console is going to be weaker then the X1 and the handheld will target Wii U specs.

Based on every previous generation!?


Thats fair, as I said a lot of people are not expecting a traditional generational leap from the home console (much like the gamecube to wii transition), but a big one from the handheld (DS> 3DS). That would place them far closer together then any previous co-existing Nintendo systems. So  you're expecting the NX home console to compete (or surpass) with PS4 or X1 in specs? Just curious.
