I think the console part of the NX could be $249.99, the handheld part for $199.99 maybe less and the disc drive if you prefer DVD/Blu-Ray and the backwards compatibility $99-$149. I think the plan is to have an all in one but be able to buy different parts or all together for 499.99. If this ends up being their strategy with the NX expect some parts really hard to find because there is no way for them to predict market behavior with such a new way of doing a console/handheld. So Pachter could be partially right...which is all he needs to be to convince people he knows his shit, which sometimes he does...sometimes.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day XD

And I would prefer full backwards compatibility, both digital and physical. If not, I guess they could do like Microsoft and retool some of the WiiU games a little to play on the NX digitally. Maybe they'll keep Wii BC, because the original Wii is laughably underpowered at this point and emulating it shouldn't be any problem (plus it sells wiimotes).
