I highly doubt it will be expensive, Nintendo will want to make most affordable console and certainly can't be more expensive than PS4/XboxOne, at end of 2016. XboxOne will have max $299 price.

$299 premium or basic?  IIRC the 299 wii U was not that popular and $349 was deemed to expensive.  NX launching at 249/299 makes more sense, I think its key to stay under $300 regardless of the bundle offer.

Yup, $299 price point needs to be max.

I'm not sure if its possible. 

The Wii U + 3DS cost $520 (I'll even give the 3DS the $169.99 price drop pricing) at launch, this is supposed to match up with the PS4/XB1 yet be $299.99?

PS4/XB1's price isn't as releveant directly because those are home consoles only, not both a home console and portable. 

The more relevant price would be a PS4 ($349.99) + Vita ($199.99) cost.

Eh, I don't buy it. I still think it'll be between $300-$400. Short of some weird voodoo magic, I don't see how they'll possibly get the system that cheap with what we know about it. We know it'll have a gamepad, and we know it will be powerful enough to handle DQXI. It'll definitely be cheaper than usual because it won't have a disk drive, but that's not getting the console down to $250. With the gamepad, it's got to be $300 minimum to make sense, and even that's a severe stretch.

With price point $300-$400 will be dead from start, nobody wants to buy Nintendo console with price point more than $300, in Q4 2016. Xbox One will have $250-300 price. Do you realise that PS4 now have price of $350 and Sony still have profit on it, next year PS4 could easily have price of $300, saying that there is no reason why Nintendo won't release console in Q4 2016. with Xbox One similar power with price point of around $249-299. $299 is max price that NX will have.

Shrugs. I think it would be very difficult if not impossible to get both systems together at that pricing. 

Hell right now the Wii U + 3DS XL are still $500. So in a year you're going to get a much more power console + more powerful handheld together in one box for $200 less?

Depends of power, I dont think NX will be more powerful than PS4 and PS4 already have price point of $349, next year PS4 could easily have price of $300, saying that there is no reason why Nintendo can't release console in Q4 2016 with Xbox One similar power with price point of around $249-299.

I talking about NX home console only.

Again, NX is about combining handheld and console. Combine 3DS and Wii U first party libraries and you can have an ideo of what NX is. Third parties doesn't matter a lot. NX is 2016 and everything about the theory of Fusion is becoming reality. Just accept it and move one.

Monster Hunter and Youkai Watch aren't important?  It would be interesting to see Nintendo tell third-party developers and publishers that they have Fusion now and don't need anyone else.  That would be quite interesting.

Western. DQXI & FFXIV are already announced for NX. And, where else are they going to develop MH or YW? Vita? Come on.

No they are not. A developer saying they have interest in doing something doesn't mean it's already announced for that platform. They've been wanting to bring FF14 to X1 for years....

Yeah but the portable is included with it, so even if the console component could be $249 ... Nintendo's not gifting away the portable part for free. Even at $99 for that component, you're up to $349.99.

Yea, this article is full of imprecision and vagueness.For example Dragon quest XI.It says in the article that is for sure comming for NX(or gives that impression anyway) but the truth is that Square has just said that they are considering that option.Its sentences like that that makes this article very strange.It almost looks like a sensationalist article

Why would SE mentioned NX (console we don't know anything) version of DQ XI at all if they are just considering it!?

Reality was that they annuced games for NX but after Nintendo give them a call and said to them "we still did not reveal NX and nobody knows what NX is, but you already announcing games, WTF!?", SE stated that they only considering NX version of game.

Yes, im just saying thats its not official, like the article wants us to believe.Thought i also believe that it is comming and that Square enix did accidentaly leak it, its still not official, and as a professional article, should be reflected as that.
