It's what I figured it would be going on this and earlier rumors. It'll be somewhere around XBO's power, using some sort of gimmick to try to bring people in, while probably launching at $299-$349. Looking like a repeat of the Wii U's numbers if true. Core gamers are just not going to be enticed by a console that's less powerful than the one they have now. Core gamers are also mostly done with gimmicks after motion controls didn't live up to their potential. If they're going to spend another $350, they'll probably purchase a PS4 Neo, instead.

You are very wrong if you think they will release around XB1 power console for $299-349 and basically repeat Wii U mistake (several time they stated Wii U had higher price than they wanted). If they releasing around XB1 power console it will have $249-299 price point. Also PS4 Neo will not have price point below $399.

We'll have to see what kind of deal Nintendo can make with manufacturers.  If the Wii U is any indication, taking a loss on outdated HW at $299+, they probably won't be getting the best cost per part.  It'll probably be even worse if manufacturers look at only 15M Wii Us shipped, lucky if it hits 20M+.  But, maybe they can pull off at least $299.  Of course, that still doesn't change that not only will it have to compete against a $299 PS4 OG, which will still be more powerful than it, but it'll also look even more outdated once the PS4 Neo is shown.
