I don't think so. I've owned every Nintendo console and handheld. I've owned hundreds of Nintendo games and have kept up with pretty much all rumors about NX and am aware of Nintendo pricing strategies and tactics. I just don't think that the standard Nintendo underpowered and overpriced strategy they've employed for years will work anymore.

You can call me many things, but uninformed probably isn't one of them.

Under what logic though looking at the past what you've suggested isn't going to work in any shape of form, you don't even know what NX is or the execution it will utilize for a start, it reminds me of before the Wii launched tbh.

No one knows what NX is. Just Nintendo and a few devs. Did you notice how I bought up all the rumors, treated them as fact, and everyone just accepted them? This is the first post that brings up the vital point that  no one really knows. Kudos.

As for my logic behind it, I stand by it. Pro and Scorpio are unprecedented. Every other Nintendo machine has usually had a year head start from reveal to launch. This machine will buck that trend by a significant amount. Its very unusual for a Nintendo launch. My opinion is that Nintendo isn't sure NX will be a success and their actions reflect that. 

As for the execution, everything is speculation. Along with its marketing, its hardware, and its first party games. Your guess is as good as mine unless you are secretly a Nintendo insider.
