Well we can look from other perspective, 625 Gflops is 3-4x stronger than Wii U.

Also like people stating, comparing GFLOPs between two different architectures (AMD Vs Nvidia) isn't a good idea.

Okay, but why not?

Because in benchmark tests for Nvidia and AMD GPU its vere offer situation that some AMD graphic has same or higher GFLOPs than NVIDIA graphic but NVIDIA has better performance in tests. Thats why its widely accepted that NVIDIA Gflops "more valuable" than AMD Gflops".

Also Emily Rogers started when she talked about NX power, thats very hard to compare NX power with PS4/XB1 consoles, she said NX power is closer to XB1 but that really is like you comparing apples and oranges. That statment actualy perfectly fits if NX relly using Tegra X1 or X2 chip.

Yup, that would be ideal.

That's a little on the cheap side, the hardware would be really poor if its forced to be that cheap. 

People need to understand this device will do everything a Wii U AND a 3DS does. To buy both today will cost you $500. 

Even a Wii + DS back in the day cost $400 combined. 

I think something like $269.99 for the base NX and if they even make one, $119.99 for the NX SCD dock, would be more realistic. $269.99 is still way cheaper than the $349.99 that the Wii U started at, I mean shit it would be cheaper than the Wii U is right now. 

To be honest for what Nintendo is attempting to build even $299.99 would not be out of the question. This is way more functional than a Wii U, and if it can run a lot of the more popular Android apps, that's quite cheap, an iPad Mini 4 with 16GB of storage is $400 alone. 

No its not cheap because here you have two devices that are part of same platform, you can use NX SCD dock stand alone, but you could use completely separate Wii U and 3DS or Wii and DS because they are totally different and stand alone products.

In case of NX, we could have NX handheld for $149-199 and base unit for $99 very easy.

The Parker has two Pascal Tegra chips on it (aka the Tegra X2), so that's why people are keying on it. 

It looks like Tegra X2 isn't a huge performance boost over X1, but there likely are decent energy savings, architecture improvements, and the big difference is Tegra X2/Pascal can have 50GB/sec of memory bandwidth on a 128-bit bus, whereas Tegra X1 only can do half that. 

Memory bandwidth is key for gaming. 

everytime nvidia speaks it makes eurogamers nvidia rumor less likely imo o.o

Nvidia relly can't say anything that will disproves eurogamers infos, maybe only if they say loud and clear, we dont have any involvement with Nintendo hardware. :)
