I think the 350pound $400-$450 price tag is absolutely legit. If it was a $999 placeholder, they wouldn't have bothered to take it down.

What I am puzzled about is the negative reaction of many on here. Almost everyone wants a powerful system, but then people bash them for a price that implies a powerful system?

And if it's not powerful but yet is the next big casual innovation craze, like Wii, it won't matter what it's priced; Wii's could have sold for $400-$500 back in 2006.

The only issue is if the system sucks, in which case it doesn't matter the price.

Did you miss the deal where the specs were leaked and this thing is basically in a similar power level to the WiiU, and below OG PS4/X1?

Unless they go with expensive gimmick crap again (the external tablet thing was disastrous), there's no way they can charge more than PS4 Pro prices for something so weak.

Placeholder, and this will be a $249 or maybe even $199 system. Nintendo would be insane to try to play this any other way. Third parties are never coming back to Nintendo after the sales record over the past couple of decades, not to mention the different architecture than makes porting expensive and troublesome.

I'm not saying this out of dislike, the WiiU is my favorite console of gen8 as a mainly PC gamer, because it has the best exclusives IMHO, and mulitplats are PC games for me.

Ah, so the flaw is in thinking the leaks are real/complete.  The price is the most accurate thing we've seen.  The concept most are preaching for NX is backward.
