Sounds like a $350-$400 machine, I dunno.
Nintendo's kinda damned if they do, damned if they don't, a low power console is likely to be DOA, but a powerful console with a LCD screen controller is likely to be expensive.
| zorg1000 said: its not stated but isnt it pretty obvious? how does Nintendo release a console thats a good deal more powerful than PS4 and includes an upgraded Gamepad without costing more? |
$150 more, though? I don't think it's going to be that much more powerful, and I think they will be taking measures to decrease the price of the gamepad significantly.

$150 might be a bit much but $100 seems plausible, PS4/XB1 at $299 this Fall and NX at $399 with those specs & controller.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
If they're going at $399.99, they have to go all the way and match PS4K in specs IMO. GPU needs to be double the PS4.
Can't ask for a $100 more coming this late with a system the only a "little" better.
| spemanig said: I've been saying this for months, but again, don't be surprised if the NX has a different pricing model than you're used to on consoles. Like I've said, I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo copied Apple and made the console payable with incremental payments. They can allow people to pay $200, and then do the rest in small increments each month. Heck. They can just let you pay like $20 a month for two years with no down payment. Iwata mentioned something like this could happen. Don't expect price to be an issue with NX. |
The thing with Smartphones being subsidized is that the monthly charge is just added to your already existing phone bill so its kinda covered up in a sense without people really putting too much thought into it.
For it to work with a gaming console, I feel like it would need to be hidden behind another type of service.

I wouldn't be suprised if it was $400. The only thing that makes me doubt it is that Nintendo was very insistant on the Wii U being too expensive at $350.
There is more to this.

You mean like a PS+ type thing? I really don't see something like that happening.
Or are you just saying that you don't see it being subsidized at all?
$400 is a lot, Nintendo should press AMD to give it to them for $350 and push on their LCD providers too.

i dont see it happening at all and i dont see it working unless they give people the false sense that they arent paying as much as they really are.

I guess they could save money if they skimp on the HDD and pass that cost onto the user if they want it.
Cut out the disk drive too.
