At this point, I think it would be hard to determine what the price of the NX will be. If it is a console and handheld, having it at that price while keeping it at that price seems impossible. I don't think they can make it powerful and split while keeping it at 299, unless Ninten is willing to bleed to make a base...

I don't think Nintendo is willing to make a loss in hardware to get people on the NX, although if the mobile project make "Wii-DS like profits" I can see them becoming willing to take losses.

Yeah, I don't think so. I don't think there has been many, if any moments, where Ninten took a loss to make a base...? o:

It will be 2 seperate devices (or so I believe from reports going around) so I dont think that price is an issue.

I suppose it won't be a problem to get people to buy them separately, but getting them to buy them both while having the same software may be. o:
