Everyone seems to be worried over the price, but 350 is low for a new console, so inno what everyone is losing their (potential) poo poo over. We dont even know what it is, let's not all throw the fictional device out the window before we know what it actually is.

Also, it should be called the Ultra Nintendo

The situation is exactly what the analysts said. If the NX is weaker than the new MS/Sony things but the same price that's too high. If it's weaker but also a handheld at the same time then it's probably a good price.

It's the difference between Nintendo giving us a good deal and Nintendo trying to squeeze out Wii-level profits--$100 manufacture cost, sell for $200--without understanding that they won't get Wii-level sales at that price point.

If it were 350 it would be at a base level $50 to $100 more expensive than competing, much more powerful consoles with much larger libraries. That would be a problem for a lot of people. Not me personally, but I think it would not bode well.

Next week we'll hear about the NX at last.

They'll say it'll come in March and leave it at that.

If the NX is going to be based on Nvidia's Tegra X2 SoC then a $300-$350 price tag would be acceptable.

Yeah Nintendo will just say 'it's called the NX and it's coming out' then proceed to shut the gently caress up until February.

This thread gets less amusingly childlish and a lot more Internet Nerd Venomous when actual details are released to argue over whether or not it means Nintendo Is Doomed anyway.

Just keep the children of the world in happy ignorance until the March 1 reveal. Until then knowledge is only a burden.

Nintendo was doomed the second they stuck with cartridges instead of moving to CDs for the N64. That's why the N64 was the last home console Nintendo made. The Gamecube sold so poorly compared to the PS2, that was the final nail in Nintendo's coffin, and forced them to become a third part software manufacturer for Microsoft and Sony systems. The DS, with it's bizarre dual screen setup was such a stupid gimmick it spelled the end for Nintendo's handheld division. The Wii so alienated hardcore gamers, that the name Nintendo actually became a detriment. This caused the bankruptcy of the Nintendo corporation. It's IPs were sold to Disney and the name Nintendo was bought by a fishing conglomerate and used to market tilapia to children. The 3DS's failure to meet DS sales numbers was the final nail in the coffin, all production of Mario and Pokemon merchandise was stopped, and remaining stock bulldozed into landfills. The Wii U was such a dismal flop that the last remaining Nintendo employees, two men known only as Reggie and Shig-something, took their own lives in the ruins of the old Nintendo building. Animal Crossing Amiibos going on clearance was the final nail in the coffin for Nintendo, and the old Nintendo building was taken over by packs of feral dogs who fight for territory in the decrepit offices to this day.

The next Fatal Frame involves taking pictures of Nintendo's abandoned headquarters in skimpy bikinis while trying to find ghost Iwata to ask him what the NX was and then to purge his ghostly soul with the Camera Obkoopa.

i think the nx will cost $69 per module, and the modules are handheld and tv. for $420 you get both modules, and a POWER CUBE that makes the graphics better wirelessly, and two NINTENDO DUO controllers

for the last loving time nintendo has never ever paid for an up to date chip from any manufacturer
they want those cheap as gently caress x1s if they're using tegras

everybody gets 2
run one on passive cooling/low power in the portable and run one on wall power and active cooling in the console to push slightly nicer graphics to the portable as a video feed and the tv

if splatoon isnt a launch day title im gonna die
