I'm betting the price range (various bundling) will be $300 to $400.

I think we'll learn a lot more about the hardware, OS and additional functionality over the next week that will easily justify this price point even it doesn't reach PS4 levels of raw power.

No way $400 is a good price! $299 max and hopefully lower to have a chance at making a good dent seeing as the currently the PS4s/XB1s are both $299...the PS4pro could be $349 by the time this releases and the Scorpio will be out AND the PS4s/XB1s may even be like $249 by the time it comes out so it HAS to be a good competitive price.

$300 would be better, since you can get the PS4 and Xone at 400..

I think it will be in the $350-400 price range though

You get a PS4 slim or Xbone S for €300 only the PS4 pro is €399. If it releases at €400 it needs to be at least as strong as the Xone in docking mode.

Yes, I am talking about the Pro since that is what it will be competing against, and while I don't know how much the Scorpio will be, I'm assuming it would be the same

Never on 20 October 2016

If I have the free money, like I do when I'm working, then easily. If I'm broke, with a hundred other things I want to buy, then no.

I'll be very disappointed if I don't get one at some point, though.

If it is 299 I will laugh my way to the stores, it is a powerful handheld and a next gen Nintendo console, plus a cool new gadget, all in one.
399 is nice if it means a hard drive and a free game or that bad ass pro controler.



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

i can understand the argument that it is two devices in one but...


...i would never use it as a portable. it is too big to be portable. for me this could only be a home console and as a home console the power displayed would be very disappointing for $400. also the standard controller looks crappy for home console usage.

i don't think i'd pay more than $200 for this. i just don't find value in a portable device the size of an ipad mini. i don't want to carry a purse.

 

That thkng looks a tad bigger than an iPad mini but smaller than an ipad pro. I can see plenty of people using it as a portable device

see bolded.

I feel like you have a split personality, you've spent the last few weeks being upset that the NX wouldn't be powerful in comparsion to the ps4, and it isn't. :P

But yeah $299 or below and it's probably a day one purchase for me.

Yeah, people don't try to fit a tablet in their pocket.

Let's call it what it is, it's a handheld you can't sell a portable for 400$, it's suicidal.

Even 299 is really expensive for a handheld, but the fact that it doubles as a home console, will help it being sold at 299

But I think they should sell a pack without the dock at 249
