The Xbox One was around 700 dollars and the PS4 was 1500 dollars. But both drop a lot afterwards. Nowdays a Xbox One is 500 dollars and the PS4 is around 600.

why was the ps4 1500...?

 

no way import taxes makes it more than twice the price of an Xbox 1

it actually sounds about right. import taxes and duties alone will come close to doubling the price.

 

Edit: think about 60% of that price was tax alone for import of foreign goods.

Is it a Nintendo system? (Yes)

Does it have Nintendo games on it? (Yes)

Sold. Simple as that. You guys agonize way too much over this stuff, even assuming only a 4 year life cycle $250/4 years = $1.25/week.

$300/4 years = $1.44/week.

Oh noez. $1.25 buys you what? Like one whole McDonalds cheeseburger a week? Live a little.

In hindsight I regret not buying every Nintendo hardware, even the 64DD and Virtual Boy. They are well worth the price as collectibles alone. I own every other major Nintendo hardware from the NES onwards. NES, Game Boy, SNES, N64, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, GameCube, DS, Wii, 3DS, Wii U.

Day 1. It's Nintendo. Next gen Mario. Do I need to say more? We're getting Mario kart, smash bros., Zelda, super Mario and more. That's enough for me.

How to Make friends In Dark Souls 3

I will wait at least till 2019, before that, whatever they do I won't buy it.
The console needs good sales numbers, higher then 3ds and after 2 years third party developers still need to support it. Games like Overwatch, The elder Scrolls, Red Dead Redemption and Mass effect need to be on it.

If I can play games like that on the go and get pokémon and stuff from nintendo, I will buy it. If they once again made something that is undesirable to third parties even tough I like Nintendo games I think its better if I decide not to buy it because maybe they will do better with their next console.

I will buy the Switch when it will have a good enough library of games, nothing more and nothing less.

They'll still need to sell the entire concept to me and show that the dock does anything at all useful, otherwise I'll just wait a couple years until there's either a different SKU or it's cheap. The games aren't very convincing as of yet and it'll obviously need great games, because all I've seen are ports of games I already own or didn't want in the first place. And Zelda of course, which is good but I can already play that on hardware I already own, so it'smore of a bonus. Really the only thing they showed in it's favor is that it'll have 3D Mario.
