Launch price spurgeon, they need that extra quick buck from the most desesperated early adopter. And, man, have you seen such enthusiasm for any reveal before? I think the product will be sold out for a couple of months at least if it is indeed as cool as people say.

Also, I think 350 is the bigger Hard Drive and a free game, and the rumour has it that the NX includes all sorts of stuff. We will see.

I am burned for the lack of comunication from Nintendo, but will get interested again if they include a 500GB HD this time, I hate external drives.

 

350 takes the device away from impulse buy imho.

and unless it has the games to I guess maybe nintendo loyalists would help it sell initially. 

That´s because you are a well balanced self controled person. I have seen people pay all sorts of crazy prices for gadgets they want, people pay 2 thousand dollars for a iPhone here in Brazil, 1100 dollars for PSVR, ridiculous amounts of money just to have the newest coolest gadgets.

And, mind you, these people make 1000-2000 dollars a month in salary, they just make payment plans and get in debt. It is crazy.

I think they will follow the Nintendo 3DS strategy: a salty price at launch to get a quick buck and them a price drop when the things calm down. Seens like a healthy strategy.

But we will see. October reveal after all, it seens.
