I think they have sources of their own as well: "Early online speculation about pricing for the NX expects it to be cheaper than current consoles, but from what we’ve heard it’s going to be cheaper than even the vast majority expect. This is a machine that is targeting the mass market, and Nintendo certainly plans for it to have a mass market price. Price is one Wii U mistake Nintendo is determined not to repeat. This could be NX's single biggest win." "From what we've heard" sounds like they have sources of their own. Edit- Also this: MCV has spoken to one person with hands-on experience with the machine. Their assessment? "It feels like a bit of a novelty." |
That's ridiculously vague, but I'm gonna hope that means a $200 price point, which would just be perfect and falls exactly in line with one of the two options I wanted Nintendo to take with NX, being either high end hardware with mature/realistic software and many partnerships/deals/moneyhats to try and get get third partys back (terrible idea in middle of gen I realize), or they forgo third partys entirely and accept their niche in the console market, instead focusing on cheap hardware and development cost and making more Nintendo games.
But well, if they have their own sources, yet are agreeing with Eurogamer's report, that means the news falls in line with their sources, so I suppose it adds some credibility, probably!
