Saving in transportation costs is minimal compared to all else. So the pricetag will still be quite close to USA unless they want to eat the cost (which Nintendo rarely do)... USA is usually the lowest tag WW for consoles.

Distribution is roughly 8-10% of costs.  Don't forget that China is going going to charge an import fee on its own products either.

Point is, we don't know what the hell it's going to cost but the Chinese purchasing power is increasing rapidly to the point they now purchase more cars than the US does each year and it should double the US market in just a few years.

Writing that off as still not a viable market is why Huawei will soon surpass Apple (did for a quarter already) and Samsung in the global mobile phone market sales.

Ok so you go from 300 to 270, discount another 20 if you want for the import tax (and don't forget that they may charge tax for the profit and profit shipment to Japan)... Still doesn't make it 1/4 of the price.

Don't expect massive difference on the price tag. Because if it indeed were massive it would easily find its way to grey market exporting.
