Being a hybrid doesn't make you magically immune to comparison with other gaming devices, it means you're competing in two red oceans instead of one.

Well having "lower power" doesn't make the hardware automatically cheaper to make either. 

The NX will have to have a screen ... a 7-8 inch screen even with a cheap resolution is still going to cost in the range of $40-$50, the battery doesn't come for free either, then you have you actual chipset costs ... just because it only outputs say 600 GFLOPS doesn't mean it costs 1/3 the price. That's not how component pricing works.

It doesn't need to be 1/3 or even 1/2 the price of PS4/X1, just not so close in price that it invites comparison.
