For this thread I would like you to explain what your hardware expectations are of the NX (assuming it is acutally hardware).  Also, tell me how much you expect this hardware to cost while being mindful of the specs you are exspecting.  Finally, tell me if the price will help or hurt to sell it.  This is like asking if it can be priced competively agains the PS4 and Xbox One.

 

EDIT:  Keep in mind that Nintendo isn't know for having lose leading hardware.

Its tough to say. They can either go for hardware thats on par with both of em and sell for $400. Or step it up and sell it for a higher price with a GPU that is far superior. But I do not think they will do that.



$350-$400 at launch, I think,.

299$ sounds about right

300$ doom

Handheld version of NX - 199
Home console version of NX - 299

Above $299 will be a disaster. No question. PS4 and Xbox One will both be under $299 by then.



That "NX" console pic tho xD
Kill it with fire :p

But honestly though I have no clue on the regards on pricing. Depends on whom they are trying to cater, themselves or Nintendo gamers or gamers in general



I kinda want them to make it super powerful lol, at least 3rd party will come back to it then.



Handheld version less than 200€. They won't repeat the 3DS launch once again. If they can put the handheld for 150€ from the beginning, it would be fantastic, even if it's unrealistic.

Home console it's more difficult to determinate. Will they go for power or just go for a better price? One thing it's sure, it can't cost more than 300€, it would be squashed by the PS4 and the XBone if it was more expensive, and it wouldn't be able to compete with the PS5 and the next XBox.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Home console around $300 with similar PS4 specs.
Handheld $150-200.
