What is the current RRP for the Wii U? |
Most places they seem to be 299$.
Which is why they re selling so slowly.
299$ for a Wii U @176Gflops 32gb hdd.
vs
299$ for a PS4slim @1840Gflops 500gb hdd , has many years left in it, tons of new games comeing, and 3rd party support.
Nintendo have to be smarter when they get the hardware guys to design the NX.
They need to think forwards, predict how the market will change and make component choices based on that, so things can go down in price over time.
Spending 80$ on the gamepad for the Wii U was not a smart hardware design choice. They cant do the same with the NX.
If the NX is 1/8th the power of say a PS4 pro, then NX needs be to atleast 1/2 the price. Its about perceived value.
Differnce between PS4 & Wii U = about 10 times.
Differnce between NX & PS4pro = about 10 times.
I know this system will be able to be used as a handheld too, if all the rumors are true (power wise, its a hybrid ect).
However they could end up in a simular situation as the Wii U, power wise.
