Not only the price of the 3DS is way higher than it's producing costs (think of the 2DS which is sold for 75$ in bundle and with a gain for Nintendo) but you have to think that some of the 3DS components are getting so old that they require more money to be manufactured than more advanced ones, in the end the portable NX doesn't need to be much more powerful than the Vita imho... |
The portable needs to be able to run the same games as the "console mode" or "console version" or whatever you want to say. Sure there can be compromises in screen resolution, frame rate, and even shadows/textures/lighting/detail but it can't be essentially an entirely different build of the game. It needs to be like "low/medium" settings on a PC versus high settings in docked mode.
Vita performance is no where near close to that, Vita is laughably outdated, there's tons of chips today that run circles around that, no reason to aim so low for portable play.
Portable mode is really the key to the NX, it can't just be some afterthought as in "just shit together anything for the portable version of the game", that's not going to work.
