Interesting. I am thinking in a system that could reproduce PS4 games, with merely cosmetic differences. I think that there will be a brick connected to the TV and that part of the system will have some extra raw power, as in the patent we saw earlier this year.

Well... I feel like something like that will increase the cost of the thing outside of impluse buy category. Nintendo priced its handheld once before around $250 which was clearly too expensive hence why the 3ds got a price cut to ~$150. This thing you are saying sounds like its going to cost more than $250, a lot more. Not only due to the hardware power but because of the technology cause your version of the NX will have a screen, speakers and everything that a handheld has on top of a docking station. Where as consoles like the ps4/x1 don't need that stuff.

So to me, your version will cost more than both and I don't think Nintendo wants to go that route. Specially with the Neo and Scorpio on the horizon which will handly beat all 3. And not to mention that the developers will have to code for when the game is its mobile form and console form and blah blah blah. That is the type of stuff that third parties hate. So even if it is as powerful as the ps4, idk if third parties will like all the extra coding and optimizing.

Yes, I am thinking 300 dollars.

But you get a lot of value. Nintendo probably made it easy to setup though, so developers do not get scared.
