Thoughts Gaf?

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Probably a placeholder.

"Nintendo NX Wii U" LOL.

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

So like 400-450 euros?

No thanks. Never had any real interest unless a launch Metroid prime was announced.

Either way, Microsoft are getting my money for the Scorpio next.

 

[Social]

Placeholder

 

[Aurongel]

The page has since been edited to remove the price, which is also likely to have been a placeholder amount.

.

 

[Oregano]

They are DOA if they aim that high. Can't see it myself.

 

[outunderthestars]

Come on OP. Even the article says that it is a placeholder.

 

[SlipperyFishes]

NX won't be £349. And Tesco have removed the price because it's clear that just like the release date (Released: 31/12/16) it's just a temporary page so they can get SEO in place for the eventual reveal.

 

[GhostTrick]

Placeholder I think. There's no way Nintendo is stupid enough to release something this expensive.


... Right.

 

[CaptainTiptop]

"NX Wii U" no one knows what this thing is 😂

 

[Cronen]

*Tesco guesses NX price early.

 

[LimitedTimeGamer]

Personally, i dont think it will be that high, but if it was, i dont think i could pick one up straight away.

 

[ggx2ac]

Probably a placeholder.

"Nintendo NX Wii U" LOL.

Oh wow. lol

 

[KingBroly]

Placeholder I think. There's no way Nintendo is stupid enough to release something this expensive.


... Right.

They've talked about price too much as a key factor for them to price it that high

...unless it were just like everyone else.

 

[Mr-Joker]

It's most likely a placeholder price as one of the reasons for the Wii U poor sales and 3DS poor launch was their high price and I doubt that Nintendo will make the same mistake with the NX.

 

[Vashetti]

As with other retailers, they always make placeholder prices high so they don't have to honour it if folks pre-order when they lowball the price.

 

[BY2K]

Retailer makes a page about an upcoming system. Stop the presses.

 

[Grim Patron]

Higher chance of a new console metroid game than that price being real.

 

[Cosmonaut X]

Placeholder page, clearly, but my only thought is that if Tesco are listing it - even with a placeholder - are retailers aware of an imminent announcement and getting their systems ready?

 

[FelipeMGM]

No

Placholders for the NX have been around forever, they dont point at anything factual

 

[ekim]

Placeholder page, clearly, but my only thought is that if Tesco are listing it - even with a placeholder - are retailers aware of an imminent announcement and getting their systems ready?

Maybe they were in Germany last week?

 

[Windle Poons]

Of every retailer in the world, I'd have had my money on TESCO to get the reveal in...

 

[TheMoon]

lol

pls use brain

this is a placeholder price.

 

[Ulysses 31]

Just like Amazon reveals release dates early(31 December) >.>

 

[Dark Cloud]

Retailer makes a page about an upcoming system. Stop the presses.

It's our daily NX thread. We'll take them no matter how they come lol.

But seriously, I wouldn't put much stock into this.

 

[KingSnake]

Yes, the page with the official price will still call the product Nintendo NX, not its real name.

 

[Phoenixus]

More retailer placeholders will likely be appearing this week; as good a time as any to get interest going.

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

Maaaaan. Nintendo limped outta the gate last time with their god awful messaging and brand confusion.

The remedy this time? Create even more confusion by dragging the announcement out. Just announce the thing already. Nintendo fans are losing their minds

 

[Vashetti]

It's going to be interesting to see if Tesco actually decide to stock it.

Every Tesco store I've been to in the past few years cleared out all their 3DS/Wii U products a long time ago and only stock Sony and Microsoft games.

 

[ggx2ac]

Of every retailer in the world, I'd have had my money on TESCO to get the reveal in...

But they didn't reveal the name... Unless it's really going to be called the Nintendo NX Wii U. lol

It'll probably be online only, I can't see them putting Nintendo stock back out any time soon.

 

[ArtHands]

we are 3 months away from NX launch!! :O

 

[Chû Totoro]

Price is placeholder imo but yeah it seems retailers are now starting to preparing preorders. One of the biggest video game reseller in France is taking emails to inform you as soon as preorders are available (so with rrp info about system and more details about games at launch).

Also price without any information is useless. 400€ is expensive out of context but if the dock is included it changes everything.

 

[Devilgunman]

We're really gonna post any little thing with "NX" on it aint we?


People need to clam down.

 

[Nightbird]

And i thought this would be the Day without any new NX Thread...

 

[Windle Poons]

But they didn't reveal the name... Unless it's really going to be called the Nintendo NX Wii U. lol

Confirmed add on for the Wii U...

Nintendo might of sold shares to a Deborah Meaden who is a expert in retail, who got them a leg in the door

 

[Tillbo]

Must be a placeholder as it cannot be that much? Little odd it is the same as the PS Pro pre-order?

 

[Kouriozan]

Probably a placeholder.

"Nintendo NX Wii U" LOL.

I knew it, it's a Wii U accessory, just like the Gamepad was a Wii one!

 

[Raylan]

Thoughts Gaf?

Same thought as always, when we didn't knew the official price of the PS4, the XBO, the WiiU, the PSVITA, the PS4 Pro, the PS4 Slim, etc. etc. etc. etc.

It's a Placeholder price. As always!

Nothing to see here.

 

[SuperBanana]

How have article writers not figured out sites put up price placeholders?

 

[Mpl90]

Extremely placeholder-ish. We've had multiple times examples of placehoders with not correct prices. Also, we know from MCV (and Nintendo themselves) they're aiming for something cheaper than Wii U, so...relax

 

[purseowner]

And i thought this would be the Day without any new NX Thread...

26/07/16 - Eurogamer leak
26/08/16 - LPVG leak

Something's gonna happen today.

 

[jediyoshi]

"Nintendo NX Wii U" LOL.

I'm so ready to see the marketing push this time around.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

Should use 999.99 as the placeholder.

 

[ramparter]

Normally I would say it's a random placeholder but this is a week after retailers heading to NoE.

 

[Cosmonaut X]

Maybe they were in Germany last week?

"We need someone to go to Germany for this NX thing... has Barry Shitpeas finished repricing the dog food? Yeah, well send him..."

 

[Mpl90]

Also price without any information is useless. 400€ is expensive out of context but if the dock is included it changes everything.

Now this can be potentially interesting, if backed up by other retailers doing the same.

 

[Mr-Joker]

Probably a placeholder.

"Nintendo NX Wii U" LOL.

Yeah Nintendo will need to nip that in the bud as confusing marketing was the other reason why the Wii U failed.

The remedy this time? Create even more confusion by dragging the announcement out. Just announce the thing already. Nintendo fans are losing their minds

Speak for yourself, I am cool as ice.

It's going to be interesting to see if Tesco actually decide to stock it.

Every Tesco store I've been to in the past few years cleared out all their 3DS/Wii U products a long time ago and only stock Sony and Microsoft games.

My local Sainsbury stocked 3DS/Wii U products then they got rid of them but recently they brought them back.

 

[Tregard]

The only actual piece of info here is it does seem retailers are readying for an announcement.
