Did you miss the deal where the specs were leaked and this thing is basically in a similar power level to the WiiU, and below OG PS4/X1?

Unless they go with expensive gimmick crap again (the external tablet thing was disastrous), there's no way they can charge more than PS4 Pro prices for something so weak.

Placeholder, and this will be a $249 or maybe even $199 system. Nintendo would be insane to try to play this any other way. Third parties are never coming back to Nintendo after the sales record over the past couple of decades, not to mention the different architecture than makes porting expensive and troublesome.

I'm not saying this out of dislike, the WiiU is my favorite console of gen8 as a mainly PC gamer, because it has the best exclusives IMHO, and mulitplats are PC games for me.

Lol yep! And they still have the March 2017 release date. 

Sadly the videogames industry is dictated by the power of consoles.
The NX can be a car that cooks your dinner while lets you play, but if the graphics are less than the ps4 it cant be priced at the same level. People just dont listen to anything else than power.

I like how things like these regarding the NX, it causes so much attention!

They are giving NX free advertisement before we even know what it is.

Ah, so the flaw is in thinking the leaks are real/complete.  The price is the most accurate thing we've seen.  The concept most are preaching for NX is backward. 

I don't know what to think, probably just a placeholder.

Anyway, you guys have to decide if you want power or cheap price... you can't have both. Sometimes it seems that some people want the NX to be as powerful as the PS4 Pro, with a shared library while retailing for $250.

And what evidence do you have for this? At this point in the timeline, it's REALLY hard to keep secrets in the semiconductor industry because so much is involved in contracts, fabs, etc. All indications are that this is a Tegra system with a mobile focus.

And then you have established markets in place where people are heavily invested in either Sony's or Microsoft's online infrastructure and ecosystems. Nintendo's market has been really tight in home consoles since the rapid decline of the Wii post-2010. How on earth would they expect to sell a system at $449 unless they were going to be in the vein of PS4 Pro / Scorpio performance AND 3rd party support?

It just doesn't make any sense.

Do you have ANY evidence that this price is accurate? Because we have TONS of examples of 'placeholder' pricing going back generations, but no evidence AFAIK that NX is going to be a powerful system that will sell for a notable premium in the face of $299 PS4s/X1S, and $399 PS4P. 

I mean, maybe you mean the gimmick portion of NX will make it expensive like WiiU was? If anything, that's worse IMHO. WiiU at $199 on launch without a tablet would probably have sold much better than it did at $349. Disastrous mistake. At $449 if it's another weak console with some gimmick hardware, it's going to bomb like something we haven't seen since the 32X. At that price it needs very high performance and full support by EA/Activision/Ubisoft/etc.

You are never getting tired of saying this, are you?

If true(which I doubt). GOOD LUCK NINTENDO!!! Lol.

While it's been like that for a long time now, actually, it's still very annoying -.-
