How is it possible that the X1 and PS4 are already basically the same price as a Wii U?

Nintendo next system needs to be 200 dollar max. By the time NX comes out next year, the xbox one and ps4 will be 300 dollar or less.

The system doesn't need to be at a low cost point like that if it has strong specs. if its not more powerful than the Xone and PS4 then I agree of course though

The problem with Nintendo trying to leapfrog specs over the PS4 is that it will result in a higher BoM, but will still fail to convert third party developers into diverting support to their platform. 

Third party developers know for a fact that Nintendo's own software will always sell higher than anything they can put on a Nintendo platform.
