Reasons the NX will be a flop

Nintendo is probably getting the Tegra chips for dirt, dirt cheap because Nvidia hasn't been able to find any vendors for the chips in traditional tablets/phones, so Nintendo was probably like their last resort.

The chip itself probably doesn't cost much at all, the Nvidia Shield console is $199.99 with the Tegra X1, and that was *two years ago* by the time March 2017 rolls around.

Throw in a docking station, a bigger storage solution than 16gb flash memory, a "wii u pro" like controller.

And Id assume Nintendo should be able to sell such a console around 250$, atleast I hope thats the price they end up at.

 

PS4 & XB1 are going to be 299$ by the time the NX is out.

If its 1/3 the power, it cant cost the same or more than the PS4/XB1s.

Not if they want it to sell.

PS4 and XB1 aren't portable, and I think the whole detachable controller/local multiplayer aspect of the system will be central to it providing different styles of experiences (may be more in common with old school arcade gaming where people would gather around an arcade cabinet).
