Gaming isn't their main thing tbh as Tesco is equivalent to stores like Sainsbury, Walmart etc... They've put a high place holder price because of what happened with the Wii U pre-orders. Stores initially put the pre-orders up for £200, unfortunately for these stores many have a price guarantee policy so when the U was revealed to be £250 for the basic and £300 for the premium they made losses, by putting a high price however they can simply lower the price later and not make any losses.

Tesco likely feel it won't be that price but lower so have the place holder at that for safety.

If its only 500Gflops or so as rumored, even 299$ is stretching it abit.

199-249$ is the sweetspot for such a device.

For a person looking for a homeconsole, it being 1/3 the power of the PS4 slim or Xb1 slim, and the same price... without 3rd party? thats a no buy.

Nintendo will still get sales from people that like nintendo games, but they need once again get their consoles above 50m+ units sold.

A slow selling NX because of low precieved value, isnt how you do that.

£350 is $400. Companies don't use the exchange rate.

I'm good with it as long as it's a good system. I'd be more worried if they listed for $250.

It'd bomb

It's a placeholder, but the fact Tesco put up a placeholder could indicate they're aware an NX reveal could happen soon. There were rumours Nintendo of Europe met retail representatives recently too.

Alternatively, it could just be guesswork based entirely on the rumours about NX, without any retailer briefing from Nintendo. That price point is far, far too high for a Nintendo device and I expect the system will come in at around £200.

NX needs to be $200-$250. If it is $250 it needs to come with BoTW packed in. Anything more than that, and it will bomb.

High five if you voted for "too little" .

If the system is the one who is able to silence critics all over the world, then I don't care about the price. But as we all know... WE STILL DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT IT!

Really?? EB Games here in Aus listed it for $999 ages ago, we've known about its price for awhile now. This isn't anything new.

Yeah this doesnt make sense to me either LastStarFighter.

If its a 500Gflop cheap Mobile chip from nvidia, then I dont see why it needs to be priced high.

It being affordable will mean it will sell more, and thus will get better game support from nintendo and others.
