This isn't a product for makers like Raspberry Pi. It's a dev-kit for prototyping quite advanced devices that need such high compute power on the edge - autonomous robots, complex sensor analyzers (image/video sensing/processing) and alike.
Jetson Nano was priced at $129 (and has dropped to $99 and below) and could fill some of the roles that RasPi does. That probably won't be the case for a $399 Xavier NX, but that GPU will attract some interest.
It would make for an expensive but nicely featured core of a gaming portable. 384 Cores @ 1100MHz is roughly a GT 1030 (likely faster due to the Maxwell->Volta arch shift), which is enough power to run a whole lot of modern games on a handheld device. 15W is in the same class as the X1 in the first gen Switch, so proper power management could make it viable, though such a device would not be close to as cheap as the Switch.

You may want to update the AGX Xavier specs in the table; these days it's US$699 and 32GB standard.nandnandnand - Thursday, May 14, 2020 - link
I bet ETA PRIME will do a review of this thing.Core/clocks in the table are confusing.

This is very expensive but Nvidia is earning some very nice margins with these products.riklaunim - Thursday, May 14, 2020 - link
