Remember the "NX will be cheaper than even the vast majority expect"? i believe it - NeoGAF
'Remember before NX got "revealed" among the lots of rumors about hybrid console etc there was a report from MCV saying that NX will be cheaper than current console Now that i saw what NX is, i believe them, and i think Switch base model will cost 249$ at most, here's why:-The dock has been confirmed to be just for charging the console and transfer the signal, perhaps upscaling the resolution, to the TV, something like that isn't really expensive.-It's powered by an Nvidia Tegra custom chip, now the newer Shield available is 199$ priced, and we don't know if Switch chip will be really like that, custom means it could be a cheaper version, not implying it will be weaker, though could be cheaper to produce.-Nintendo spokeperson said the Switch base box will only include the console, dock and the joy cons, not pro controller or that other thing that charge and hold the two joy cons.-32GB of storage, is very little even though games won't be as huge as PS4/XB1 and PC ones, we'll be able to expand storage with SD, though they really minimize the storage to minimum in order to keep the price low-Lack of camera or mic, no sign of those from the video, also Emily Rogers, whose rumors turned out to be right, said that Switch won't have those, though it doesn't mean it won't be compatible, so my theory is even here Nintendo decided to not include mic and camera in the console, and will likely sell those separately, to keep it as cheaper as possible.Do you really think that they would have cut the camera from the console if it was a 350$ device like most people think it'll be? if they renounced to such a cheap component it means that they're really trying to minimize the cost as much as they can, to hit a specific price, which would allow them to succeed and appeal to a wider market and casual gamers, like they tried to show in the video too, with different kind of people playing it...that price to me is 249$, 199$ would be a megaton but wouldn't surprice me that much either.
