If you're expecing Neo/Scorpio to play AAA games at 4K, you're in for a disappointment.

If NX does turn out to be the Tegra-powered hybrid system Eurogamer describes, $250 USD is the maximum acceptable price. Any more and it becomes an unattractive proposition in a market where you can get PS4/X1 with far more games and better graphics for $300.

This is the same company that took a system that was $99 already for three years, moderately overclocked it and sold it for $250 with a different plastic controller when you could get an XBox 360 for $299.99. 

My guess is $269.99. $100 more than the vanilla small 3DS for a full blown tablet device that can also double as a micro-console is fair. 

This time I do think Nintendo will actually have a very good launch lineup and even a post-launch big title to ensure reasonable sales. 

Nintendo can be dense, but after getting fucked up the rear end by both the 3DS and Wii U launches, I think they've finally learned their lesson. 

That kind of lightning doesn't strike twice. The market today is vastly different than it was in 2006. If NX cannot offer competitive specs and software support to PS4/X1, then they need to make it significantly cheaper to compensate. They can't go head to head with MS/Sony in pricing, that's a red ocean and they're the smaller fish.
