Major UK retailer Tesco has created a temporary page for the Nintendo NX platform and as of 8am UK time they had the system priced up at £349.99. The temporary page is still there, but the pricing has gone. We know that retailers descended on Nintendo headquarters in Germany last week for an unspecified reason so perhaps they were one of the first retailers to see Nintendo’s next generation platform. We won’t know for sure until Nintendo unveil the system which is due to be released in March 2017.
Thanks to Jason for the tip.
If that ends up being the real price of the NX, I’m giving up on modern gaming and going fully retro.
That’s not even an unreasonable price.
Yeah, for rich people. It already killed me having to pay $400 for a PS4 (which, in my opinion, wasn’t worth it).
I paid $500 for the Xbox one at launch and regretted it 4 months later, switched to PS4 and love the system.
I paid $250 for a 3DS back when it was first released. Then the price cut came in and the 3DS Ambassador Program gave m 20 free games.
I couldn’t care less about paying that much.
ditto! love having games others dont XP
most people i know buy iphones for 500 euro or more and tablets and they got a normal job so 400 for a console aint much if you ask me. That said 300 euro’s is usually my max price aswell cause i dont think its worth more.
For 400 euro’s I expect new tech though like when the ps4 and xbox got released, so no shit we already got for 3 years.
well basically nintendo is nintendo and they know what they are doing
I agree that it can be hard to have $3-400 available for a toy, but, that doesn’t make it unreasonable. As for PS4. My PC video card cost about half a PS4. Then add the HD, XBOX controller, MB, CPU, RAM… you get it… Consoles are an epic value, HARDWARE wise. Software is where pricing needs to change for the better. Put some cash away now, a little at a time, and it adds up by March. That’s what I am doing.
You’ve been a bit of a drama queen lately. (By a bit, I mean a lot.)
People pay it mate, that’s why.. I wait for a few years then buy everything cheap, I just wanna play not argue over who got new things first. I have a massive nintendo collection, I’m poor, it’s called patience 😊
If the NX is a dedicated home console hybrid device with a mobile unit and is more powerful than the PS4 then the rumored price is greatly justified…a steal even but if it’s a dedicated handheld device that just docks into your tv via HDMI then yeah……I can understand your frustration. £350 for a handheld is too goddamn high regardless of what it can do and as I always say….will be a very hard sell
Good luck with the Saturn T.T
Depends on the quality of the prdouct and what it contains. We won’t find out until the reveal.
Cheap much? An IPAD cost more than that
}{ That is only because with each IPad you purchase, a diamond encrusted pony is donated to charity… The actual components are not nearly that valuable… }{
the actual value of an Ipad is -500 dollar. apple should actually pay you for using their products.
this is my first time on this site, but I guess idiots abound all over the internet
Lol you’re a cheapskate.
Said the collector
350 isnt an unreasonable price at all for a new console, so if that’s way out of your price point, then yea you should probably go retro from now on, until price drops after a couple years
Some rumour I heard suggested that there would be 3 models of the NX, the basic going for 350 whilst the Elite model (High end model) was going to be around 450. Plus, those rumours suggested the NX would be a Home Console.
So this could be evidence towards the NX being a home console.
if theres any proof then yeah it may be so my friend.

$350 doesn’t sound too bad if it’s one hybrid that will play all of their games. It should still be in the ballpark of PS4/XB1 though.
This is in British money so it’s actually about 450 dollars
After a quick search a Wii U costs £250 compared to $300 and the exchange rate would actually be $323 or something so maybe the NX is actually $400. That could potentially be a good price if it’s a PS4/XB1 level hybrid handheld but I think $350 would be better.
You must ask yourself this one question, will the handheld cost that much on it’s own or does it include the docking station that improves the graphics on a tv? I always think about that which isn’t asked or thought of because companies are beginning use tactics like this to cut cost, I’m looking at you New 3ds without a charging cable.
||That’s not even comparable, if the NX’s purpose is to be some sort of Hybrid or Mitosis/Symbiote machine then excluding a vital part of it would be the most absurd thing ever in our history…||
If the whole gimmick is that it’s a hybrid I highly doubt those components will be sold separately. Also, is it impossible for this thing to work like a reverse Wii U and have the handheld stream to the TV? I’d honestly prefer that over the detachable
Controllers and dock.
the Wii U is better then nothing but the NX is gonna fail if it reach 400$
I think it should be lower than that too but it depends on the tech it has under the hood.
well basically it might be lower but you could be right i wanted to be 200$ or 270$ if that helps the company to be more success.
I would love that but the most realistic low price I can se is $300-350.
well i’m voting for 200$ and 250$ dollars thats the best price right there.
As I noted in my earlier post, that budget price point YOU want is too low and VERY unrealistic for the tech. How much is a New 3DS again? Given the NX specs as reported on a few industry sites and the innovation the system is supposed to privide, NX is going to be (and needs to be) a premium priced new console probably closer to the $300 – $350 range, but not $400.
Well, unless it’s bundled with extras as many retailers will do to try and push any bonus gear like carrying bags and any third-party peripherals (should Nintendo license those out), plus those oddball launch titles that seem to plague launch windows. That said, I also expect to see the return of the surprise smash Just Dance series, as it seems to exceptionally well for reasons I still don’t get other than people REALLY like to dance at home, lol…
I’ll say it will sell with Zelda as a pack-in game so Nintendo can say they have a 1:1 attach rate (which looks good in fiscal results) and possibly some free eShop bonuses just to get people using digital right out of the box. Granted, the system will still work offline as it needs to. But I’m also betting any detachable device is small enough to carry into a wi-fi spot to get patches and updates in case users don’t have access to a home network.
what exactly are you getting at? i’m also questioning that the NX will be a home console that Reggie mention a year ago. they are still discussing about the price for the mysterious NX console. once they show the brand name of that console we will see what it is. and we will see what features it might have dude.
There are a lot of factors that can effect that: parts and what comes in the box.
basically i agree but i think nintendo is still thinking about there mistakes.
It’s a placeholder.
Most likely. Even if it’s not, the pricing is also difficult to evaluate when we know nothing about the console.
Well if this was true that would be horrible. I fully expect the nx to be underpowered so if that’s the case and It releases at this price I think it would have a tough time selling. Of course I don’t believe this price to be true but just in case it is, it better have something amazing to justify that price. At this point that’s the cost of a ps4 pro with 1tb storage.
It’ll probably be way less.
Probably just a Ballpark price. That was what it cost for the Wii U at Launch
£350 seems very pricey to me – that’s going to be an immensely tough sell whatever the product is. I have never bought a games console for anywhere near that much money. If it’s true (which of course it might not be) then either Nintendo are extremely confident or extremely foolish.
It depends on 2 things: all the parts that the NX hardware is made of, and what’s included.
I mean if it amounts to two consoles (i.e. a handheld and a console) then I guess I can see some sense behind it, but if so they would do well to offer them separately also!
||At the moment it costs 999€ here…||

Well the date is clearly a placeholder sunce we were told it’s coming out in March. I’m going to assume the price is a placeholder too.
£350 is an oddly specific placeholder though isn’t it. But of course it could be.
Isn’t it the same price PS4, PS4 Pro and Wii U launched at?
It seems like it is, but placeholder prices are set by the retailer so they do whatever they want. The wii u had a placeholder price of £280 on one site if I remember correctly, which was about half way between the actual basic and premium prices.
Weird that it’s listed as “Nintendo NX Wii U”.
It was taken down.
I wouldn’t put much stock into a webpage called “Nintendo NX Wii U”; doesn’t sound like they know what it is either.
That being said though, Nintendo did say they wouldn’t be selling this one at a loss
If the Nintendo NX Deluxe Set (Home and Handheld units) is priced at $349.99 in the United States and Canada, you’re looking at a DEFINITE must buy.
My guess is probably $299 US, if not $349.99 with some sort of pack-in (Hi, Zelda!). Remember, consoles cost more in Europe than they do here, but $350 with Breath of the Wild and maybe a bunch of freebie mini-games to show off the possible portable device part’s power should move units quickly.
IF you want to speculate your brains out of your heads, let’s say that that page/price point was deliberately floated just so people online can chime in on whether or not it’s too expensive and/or start saving up. THAT said, come on, people. It’s a new console and allegedly innovative. Nintendo isn’t going to sell it for under $200, as that’s New 3DS territory. Even $250 is too low, but again, we shall see.
Finally, as Tesco IS a legitimate retailer, the page was legitimate… but I’d bet a dime that this was a planned “leak” to gauge interest in that price point. Now, let’s see what happens next month, as it seems as time slides ahead, bits and pieces of info start to gel.
well what are the odds. we are just here to wait for the NX news but instead they don’t want to talk more about it. i’m basically aware that nintendo will put the NX up to 400$ it will fail bad.
Well if that’s true guess who’s buying refurbished. I almost bought a Wii U from the pawn shop near me it was like 100 bucks.
The downside is you have to wait to get one refurbed.

These early and too high prices are always made up. It’s common practice, and just proves that the retailers don’t know the price of the NX yet. They did that with the Wii. They did that with the Wii U. And now they’re doing it with the NX.
||The humans do this with any product not yet released nor unveiled anyway…||
Silly humans.
||Silly, stupid, blind and incredibly impatient…||
If the thing ends up being that console-portable hybrid it’s highly rumored to be, and if all development efforts go to it, $350 is a great price, and not even half of what I spent on my custom PC.
What I would be more concerned about is the price for software, which could range anywhere between forty to sixty or even seventy dollars (don’t know the euro equivalent).
I still believe the NX won’t be a Hybrid, just a home console and a separate handheld that supports the same OS and Software
To those who think that’ll be $350 no actually thats about $500 FUCK!!!
i don’t want to be at 350$ this is a bad idea i want it to be at 300$ or 250$
