Well first off if the Rumors are true this thing is a Handheld that can be used as a console.

So lets look at Nintendos Handheld market, has any of their handhelds sold less then 30 million units?

Even looking at the Charts now if the 3DS was classed as a console it would be the number 1 selling console in the world.

I think this alone should give a good impression of what a new nintendo handheld can do, Never mind that it could possibly be used as a Tablet too and well i think this thing is going to sell like hot cakes and thats just based on the rumors.

Has any handheld ever successfully been priced as a console? People won't be willing to drop more than $250 for a handheld. Just look at the 3ds. It was a flop when it started out at $250, but it was saved when it dropped to $180

We can't ignore that it is both a handheld and console (and likely a tablet). This will certainly effective its percieved value and ability to sell at a higher price $299.

The 3DS was averaging 80k a week when it was performing badly, with no compelling software and no clear justification for its fairly high price (unless you see 3D as justification).
