I agree. If Nintendo is going to create a machine that's not going to get popular 3rd party titles regularly, then that's going to lower its perceived value. If you add to that the idea that most people see Nintendo hardware as 'Nintendo machines' that have a limited library along with the rumors that the NS is probably going to be underpowered compared to the PS4/XB1 and its lack of any compelling gimmick to attract casuals, then that's going to pile on to its lower preceived value. The only big thing it has going for it to me is portability but I don't know how much of a premium people put in that. That feature personally doesn't add squat to me and I could not really see myself paying more than around $250 at launch for a base model NS.
