It depends. If you're talking PS4 levels of performance on a handheld that will not be cheap. It would be slightly cheaper in console form because size, power and heat is less of a concern, but then the market dictates that handhelds can't really be as expensive as home consoles. That presents a challenge

However, Nintendo might not care, and release the console cheaper than the handheld.  I wouldn't expect either of these form factors to be less than $200. If I were to hazard a guess (and this is not my forte), such a solution might be $229 for home, $249 for handheld, and $299 for handheld + base? Something like that might be competitive. If Nitendo wants to keep it traditional, they might eat the margin on the handheld, and make up for it on the console, and invert the price on both, so $229 for handheld, $249 for console, $299 for handheld + base, and sell the base for $100 separately?

Honestly I have no idea though. Blatant guess based on where I think they might need to price it, not based on where I think it should be to be successful.



 


Sorry, I meant a Wii U level performance on a handheld, not PS4.

But that would mean Wii U level or marginally better performance on the NX console as well. I don't think anyone would be itnerested in that.
