| bdbdbd said: Some of the ideas were actually really interesting. But I think Nintendo aims in cost savings and sell a 99 console for 250 rather than selling a 250 console for 350. Nintendo's strategy (as hinted by Iwata) was to be "all" the devices, so that was one aspect you didn't address. |
Thanks a lot. Yeah...pricing is one of the most important things when it comes to the debut of a console. It definitely has to feel like you're worth getting what you're paying for. If NX Home is really a cutting edge piece of tecnology that's far beyond the power of PS4 and Xbox One and comes out for $350-$375 and acts truly as a 9th gen machine, I'd be very happy. Likewise, I'd be cool if NX Portable was a $200 or $175 platform, if the power level was comparable to Wii U. The pairing of the two for $500 would be a nice deal, though not exactly cheap. It would make it the same price as Xbox One with Kinect back in 2013, but still less than the $600 PS3 model back in 2006. Heck...if Big N packed in a main entry Mario game that ran on both systems, and the whole package of all that was $500...that'd be really great in my opinion.
