Pachter Believes The Nintendo NX Will Cost Around $299

A brief summary of the article, Patcher believes that the upcoming Nintendo NX will be 299$ at release, to compete with PS4 and XBone, and that pricing the WiiU so high as Nintendo did was a mistake.

I'm surprised, but I agree with Patcher. My only hope for this is that his statement hasn't jinxed the NX pricing.

You know it deserves the GOTY.

If it costs more its going to fail to win much market share.... PS4 has been on the market too long by then and has too big a games catalog.

Nintendo will need a seriously strong game lineup come NX launch or at 299$ or more, its going to be another Wii U in terms of sales.

Indeed I'll start saving right now for the $699 Nintendo NX

To be honest though Nintendo haven't even said what it'll be ... handheld, console... Cloud super computer that streams games and Nintendo trading cards to your mobile phone, how is he putting a price tag on something.

Would be like if I said for people to guess the price I'm selling a House for, go on... guess! Keep in mind it could be made of Lego or within Minecraft

$299 is ok. It will probably be the same price as PS4 and xbone so it will really need some killer software at launch.
The portable version needs to be cheaper though and even so should be a hard sell except in JP, there the portable version should be fine and the home console probably not.

If this is true, then why the **** is the Wii U selling for $299?

To be frank, no freaking crap. It seems really obvious that Nintendo would launch at $300, unless they do something very unexpected and different with the console.
