Use deductive reasoning here.
The PS4 Pro was packaged in a larger enclosure with a higher wattage PSU to accommodate the increased thermals that accompany the increased processing power and power consumption.
Sony engineers have a proven track record of being able to miniaturize and streamline existing hardware designs and hardware refreshes; clearly they are very competent at this.
Suggesting that the NX, a portable system, can use the comparable hardware in a battery powered portable package is the equivalent of saying Nintendo engineers are magicians compared to Sony's.
Best industry estimates have the NX pegged at a base model $299 MSRP SKU and a premium bundle $399 MSRP SKU. So this suggests that Nintendo can sell comparable PS4 Pro hardware in a portable package with a high res display and battery for $100 less than the PS4 Pro, incidentally at a profit, as Nintendo does not take losses on their hardware as a part of their business model. So Nintendo's bean counters and OEM contract buyers are magicians as well.
Come on now. |
That`s not true, they did it with Wii U for years. And actually, contrary to popular belief, they still haven`t announced that they now make a profit on each Wii U sold either.

It is true. It's always been true.
"Nintendo sells Wii U basic version for $299 and more advanced deluxe flavor at $349. The bill-of-materials of Nintendo Wii U is not precisely known, however, the company itself claims that it starts to make money on Wii U once it sells one game title for $50 - $60. Therefore it is highly likely that the manufacturing cost of Wii U is very close to break-even point."
