$269.99 I think could happen. You can't even buy a Wii U for that price today, lol, that's $80 cheaper than the Wii U was on launch day, it's over a $100 cheaper than a Wii + DS, and a Wii U + 3DS costs ($500) today and it'll do the same thing as those two devices better, plus it might also run Android apps. I mean short of a kitchen sink there's not much else Nintendo could put into the thing. I think it needs to be understood there is nothing even remotely close to that power that's portable .... nothing even in the same galaxy. There might be comparable powered chips inside of an iPad Pro, which is $1000+ but no games/app comes close to using that power. You're talking about something that could run even PS4/XB1 ports while the PS4/XB1 generation is still going on, even the PSP and Vita could not display PS2 or PS3 graphics for their day. People need to be a little realistic on the price thing ... for what's being described by Eurogamer is still a pretty whopping impressive piece of kit that effectively replaces two Nintendo systems. I paid $600 for the Wii U and 3DS (bought both at launch), this would be less than half the cost. |
I don't think it's relevant to compare the cost of two devices because it is not going to be seen that way by the general consumer, it's going to be seen as a single gaming device and judged as such against other singular gaming devices.
