Forums - Nintendo - Investment firm Macquarie group claims NX reveal next week, will cost $300-350, expects disappointing sales

When the NX is finally revealed, sites are going to have a lot harder time coming up with actual news to get their hits I fear. Last month or so to get these hits in now, like... there has been a site predicting its reveal each week so eventually one of them will be right just by proxy and be heralded as the second coming of Christ for insider information because of it.

Wiiu pricing??? When the x1, ps4 is discounted with scorpio and pro coming out? While being about to get pretty great smartphones around the same price?

I hope its not true unless it can teleport hot virgin girls with ice cream in my room.

350 is a lot, best have some outstanding games!

Launch price spurgeon, they need that extra quick buck from the most desesperated early adopter. And, man, have you seen such enthusiasm for any reveal before? I think the product will be sold out for a couple of months at least if it is indeed as cool as people say.

Also, I think 350 is the bigger Hard Drive and a free game, and the rumour has it that the NX includes all sorts of stuff. We will see.

I am burned for the lack of comunication from Nintendo, but will get interested again if they include a 500GB HD this time, I hate external drives.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

They will probably keep this price till the interest drops, then change the pack in game and the color of the packaging and lose 50 bucks.

Should we tell them Super Mario Run will release on Android a few months later?



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

But thats the issue. They cant afford to make it at this price again unless the hardware is powerful which I doubt it will be. If the hardware isnt powerful for that price, people will lose interest from the beginning like how the wiiu was...

There was a rumor recently that it's a 3.6tflop console, so $300-350 would actually be a pretty good price for 3.6 tflops (PS4 Pro is 4.2 tflop for $400 by comaprison). But if it's some weak, Tegra powered tablet like Eurogamer claims, it's going to flop at $300-350, only hardcore Nintendo fans will pay that kind of money for it.

3.6tf for $300 would certainly be a good deal since most devs will be making games for ps4/x1 as their base console for another 3-4 years but I m skeptical. We have many rumors saying its a handheld with a dock so I doubt it will get 3.6tf

350 takes the device away from impulse buy imho.

and unless it has the games to I guess maybe nintendo loyalists would help it sell initially. 

That´s because you are a well balanced self controled person. I have seen people pay all sorts of crazy prices for gadgets they want, people pay 2 thousand dollars for a iPhone here in Brazil, 1100 dollars for PSVR, ridiculous amounts of money just to have the newest coolest gadgets.

And, mind you, these people make 1000-2000 dollars a month in salary, they just make payment plans and get in debt. It is crazy.

I think they will follow the Nintendo 3DS strategy: a salty price at launch to get a quick buck and them a price drop when the things calm down. Seens like a healthy strategy.

But we will see. October reveal after all, it seens.

We will see. It is granted they can sell at least a couple of million units in the first month, I think. Extra 50 bucks in profits could assure 100 million in the fiscal year, pretty decent.

Exactly this.I lost count of how many "claims" we had that said they knew when the reveal was going to happen.I mean, this one has a bit of credibility, since the investor meeting is comming up, but it has as much credibility as the one about the TGS, and we all know how that turned out.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
