So the PS4 with a game cost less than $250, how much is Nintendo gonna ask for this very low-powered machine?
I expect developers are going for the console part or the handheld part but not both

At best buy right now, you get a 50$ gift card, with purchase of a PS4slim uncharted bundle.

Its basically 199$ for a PS4slim.

And thats with a game. If the Switch is 150 GF portable and only 400 GF docked than it damn well better be less expensive than a PS4 Slim. Anything else would be suicide for Nintendo.

   

Hey! They got SONY on my amiibo! Wait a minute. Two great gaming tastes that game great together!

Nintendo need to hit 249$ price point, any higher and its gonna have a good start, and then sales fall off a cliff.

This could easily be another 3DS launch situation where consumers think the price is too high and don't buy. Then Nintendo will need to slash the price, losing money, just to get people to buy it.

It's not 1.5 behind XBO. Docked - 400Gflops XBO - 1.3Tflops It's a little less than a third. I don't think it's about people having a "boner for power" they're not after the MOST powerful system otherwise they'd never be interested in the switch even prior to this news. I was on the fence when I thought it was going to be a 600Gflop system and expected 400 Gflop's undocked. I didn't expect 400 Docked and 150 Undocked. It's not about wanting a power-house such as the 1080. It's about wanting a device that is powerful ENOUGH, that is somewhat competent. How long will this device last? Are we going to be gaming on a 400Gflop "home console" in 2020? Alongside the ps5 and next xbox? Such a pitiful device doesn't deserve a free pass cause it's nintendo. If this was an Xbox/PlayStation you would mock the shit out of it.

That's because Nintendo doesn't need to compete in power to make a good and visually appealing game, unlike Sony and MS that need to come to 4k and CG realistic visuals to please the superficial and insecure consumer segment of the game industry.

Ahhhh! I see! It all makes sense now. I am pretty superficial and insecure. Also a coward. I will kick my best friend down a flight of stairs if it will benefit me in some small way. Do you have a newsletter I could subscibe to?

someone should post a Switch price Prediction poll...im really curious to see what people are guesstimating what it will be!

The power of Switch means jack shit to me, all I want is proof that Nintendo can produce a steady stream of games without long droughts, then I might bite. Having so many Wii U ports fills me with dread, but I hope I'm proven wrong.

I'm just going to view at as a handheld, 150Gflops for £200, it'll do as long as they bring the games, though it'll be convenient to have a Nintendo Home Console with a controller that actually has a battery life.

I don't know how the WiiU gamepad completely loses it's charge when you're not even using it...

Well, this thread is the very debate that devours the industry and rots it from within.

Your response fits so well with your avatar!

150gflops is still 50 times the power of a 3DS. So that's that.
