if price means quality, then take my money

Honestly at this point, Im okayish with it.

If nintendo really dont give 2 flying f***s about 3rd party, and they dont think graphics matter that much, then just be affordable is fine for me.

They ll be that 2nd console buy, everyone that has a PS4 or Xbox One, get anyways to play mario&zelda.

Also if its a tablet, its limited how much power you can stuff into it anyways, so I rather they go power effecient and cheap, than pack too much in there, make it expensive and have a batterylife that only lasts like 1hour on the go.

Just a placeholder

Can lower it any time they want, aka when Nitnendo officially reveals the price

Exactly.  I want the system to offer something desireble.  Either in good graphics tech or some other new experience.  I don't want a cheap system.  I can pick up an NES for $60 this fall if I want simple, dated tech.  Give me something fresh and cool.

Standard placeholder price here for a console. If they quote it at $300 and I preorder one but then it costs $400 they have to give it to me for $300. That's why they overprice preorder by a lot until the official price is announced.

That's exciting

Makes sense, lure some early adopters and make the big bucks, then, 4 to 6 months later, cut 50 dollars. Rinse and repeat.

Early adopters deserve to suffer, they are all idiots. I bought the Xbox One in the day it was released here in Brazil, and paid the price for being this stupid: broken controler and kinect camera, terrible games (except for Dead Rising 3, which was AMAZING).

That said, I intend to buy the NX day one, hurts so good. =)

Time and time again we see stuff like this happen, by now everyone should be dismissing it at first glance.

It's not?? Last I checked 1 or more preorder is better than none which is how many they would have if there was no price tag.

Obvuiously a placeholder.
