Your comparison with the PS4 Slim and Xbox One Slim at $299 are not entirely fair, because those are old consoles now, over three years old by the time NX comes out. And even if we would compare with the PS4 and Xbox One, even if the NX is slightly weaker hardware it's roughly in the same ballpark. And overall it brings much more value than the PS4 and Xbox One (with the hybrid functionality and the docking station). |
1) its competition is still other home consoles.
2) "even if the NX is slightly weaker hardware, its roughly in the same ballpark" = Bullcrap.
PS4pro is 4.2teraflops, and Scorpio is going to be 6teraflops+.
500gflops isnt anywhere near the same ballpark (1/8th to 1/12th the power of its compeition?).
If its launches at 299$ the precieved value of it will be too low, for it to sell the amounts nintendo wants I suspect.
Even compaired to just the normal PS4 & XB1 slims, if its 299$ it ll be bad value in terms of the hardware your getting for your $.
Nintendo relies alot on its brand and how much people love mario&zelda, but Im just thinking if they do so they end up with another Wii U situation.
*edit:
Also a docking station if it doesnt really have much inside, wont have to cost much at all.
Neither will a cable that hooks up to the tv. Hopefully Nintendo's hardware engineers made sound design choices.
