The 2 prices that have been talked about are 400$ (the most likely one) or 500$ (if Sony decided to upgrade further the CPU). Assuming 400$ is the price it pretty much stays within the same range as the current PS4 price. Now, again, considering it plays the same games without any special exclusive games it makes no sense to separate it as it's own product. No one separates the DS, DS lite, DS XL, etc when considering sales, right? And actually in those consoles you sometimes have exclusive games to newer systems.

In any case, sure, there is a higher opening in the market for new NX buyers simply from the fact no one has one, and by the time the Neo is out there will be around 50M PS4's sold. I will probably upgrade to the Neo myself, but sure I don't think i'm in the majority here.

Since when 400$ is the standard price for a normal PS4?The standard now is 350, but even then if you look hard enough, you can find it for around 300$ new, and thats not that hard at all.By the time Neo releases(Im assuming holidays here), the price of the normal PS4 will likely drop to 300, or at the very least it will be around that price for holidays.

And most people that are going to buy the Neo, are most likely the hardcore PS4 fans.My reasoning behind this is that, if a casual gamer want to play PS4 games, he will simply go for the cheapest version, since he will not care much about the latest graphics or that the games runs on 60 fps intead of 30.Plus when a core gamer,that already has a regular PS4 and is not a hardcore fan of PS, is given the choice betwenn of a brand new console, with a whole lot of new exclusives and potentially as powerful as Neo or more, or just a revision of one he already has, he will go for the NX.

Totally missed the part about the NX being a perfect side console alongside the PS4 and will not catch PS4 because of it.  Seriously read before you post.  ;)

There's a good chance it could do better than than the N64. Hopefully it does. It'll def to better than the Wii U and GC

Anybody who's predicting anything at the moment is doing it just on a whim (if you think otherwise you're wrong lol), and I'm talking about both Pessimistic and Optimistic folk. Nintendo's in a unique position right now, and with Kimishima as the new president, we're gonna see some changes (remember, this year's WiiU drought wasn't because of Kimishima), so NX could very well be a very successful console and just as likely it could be a terrible failure, we need more details...

Nail on the head.  I just figured I would make a few points and mix it up a bit since there are so many false doom threads going around.  You know, even things back out a bit.  ;)

I think we're kind of splitting hairs at this point, sure it might be 50$ to 100$ than the cheapest PS4 you can find right now, but that's also the case for the examples I gave. When Nintendo did the revisions for it's handhelds, the new ones would also be priced more expensive. We didn't treat them as separate handhelds and start tracking sales individually. If you were going to buy whatever pokemon, it didn't matter if you were playing it on the new DS or the old one, Nintendo would still get the same $ for the sale of the game.

The guy that has the PS4 already may or may not buy an NX, just the same way he may or may not have bought the WII U. If that guy didn't own the WII U but only a PS4, why would he all of a sudden be buying an NX? If he didn't miss the Nintendo exclusives before I don't think now they became a must have.

If past experiences are anything to go by, we'll again have another console with it's quirky Nintendo games that as time goes by, an increasingly wider audience does not have any attachment to and again the absent 3rd party support that we're used to since the N64 era.

But hey, I had an N64, Wii, DS lite and 3DS... if I see some worthwhile experiences I can't find on PC or PS4 I'll buy this one too.

edit: just to reiterate, 50 to 100$ is not a "much higher price". I just paid around 300$ for a 1Tb SSD for my desktop, what's 50 to 100 to get a much better console with all the support in the world?

Hopefully, but will need to have more info the on the console first

It won't outsell the xb1 but will probably outsell the N64.

I am not so sure, Zelda Twilight Princes done great things for Wii reagardles Wii Sport, actually Zelda Wii version was sold out everywhere at launch. Definitely moved lotsa a consoles.

No one said Zelda will only big launch titles, new 3D Mario is also very possibly, and definitely there will be some other strong 1st party and 3rd party exclusives for NX launch or launch window.

Wii U didnt had nothing similar at launch, actually had weak launch and 1st year games.
