Again you talk only about hardware power, its not just hardware power what makes console. If that is a case why 3DS doesn't have price of $49, it has very weak hardware!?

Of Course, I expecting $249-299 price point, expecting $99-149 (when 3DS is $150) is talking crazy staffs. Again that is a hybrid, home console (that is around 3x stronger than WiiU) and handheld in one, not just Wii U or 3DS, but Wii U and 3DS in same package.

Offcoruse, some 3rd partys will suport NX (you can count almost all Japanese 3rd party), some will not (for instance hardly we will see Bethesda games), but for most developers its most important how much NX will be popular and how much will sale.

You look at NX like just handheld, but its not, its handheld (big) and home console, so you cant expect that will have lower price than 3DS or Vita, lol.

You realize they're selling the 2DS for $79 right? And that's including a game and memory card. I wouldn't be surprised if they're spending less than $50 to produce a 2DS.

If NX is going to be a 720p tablet, I don't see why they can't make it for $99 or $149.

The 2DS cost £79, I struggle to believe $79 is the US RRSP. The truth is the 2DS has kind of sold like crap (5m units to date), I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo is just getting rid of stock..

Regardless, NX is 100x stronger than the 2DS. The 720p NX tablet couldn't be $99-149 because it wouldn't powerful enough to compete with the Wii U when docked let alone match it in portable mode. they're paying for a GPU infinitely more power, a more expensive screen, a more expensive battery to support the additional power, more memory, better microphone/speakers, better everything... Its just makes no sense to compare the 2. The NVida shield tablet which without a controller is using a much older tegra chip then whats reported in the NX is selling for $179-$199. Obviously as Nintendo isn't the provider of the parts themselves they'd probably sell the same device for a bit higher. Add the fact that NX will likely come with dock/controller. $199 is absolute minimun and $249 makes most sense if they want to ensure profitability.
