Couldn't agree more with this. There is a huge graveyard of expensive handhelds out there that had terrible battery life, no games, and powerful graphics. I'm still hoping that the NS launches at $250, because otherwise it will get crushed. The XB1 Battlefield bundle is only $300. I'm also hoping that the NS gets a lot of games that are meant for portability, and look around NGC levels. Battery life wouldn't be an issue if they didn't try to run the system at max graphics setting the whole time. 

the Xb1 BF bundle is only 300, as well as the PS4 slim. they will likely both drop to 250$ this holiday. next year, they will both likely drop to 250$ via price cut, and 200$ at black friday. that would be just 8 months after the NS releases, at the time PS4 and XB1 will have Destiny 2, Battlefront 2, CoD and Red Dead Redemption all released at that time, and those not releasing on NX. for those wanting a home system, it will be a no brainer. better hardware, better and considerably more games, and a cheaper price. 

Nintendo releasing mid gen will cause them many issues. even if they release at 250$. it will be hard for them to compete on price, while maintaining profitablity. 

Yeah price is not going to the be-all, end-all, by allowing Sony/MS to have 3 1/2 years to scale down in price both the XB1 and PS4 are now in the affordable/cheap category. 

They've been $299.99 for a while and probably $249.99 is coming in 2017 as a standard price not to mention all the cheaper deals that will be had on Black Friday.
