Tamaki from Unseen64, "NX not to compete with PS4 on a power level"

[Hyro-Sama]

Should be re-codenamed to "Nintendo SUX". Getit?

I guess I am more worried that this might just sink them lower than actually helping. I just bought a WiiU recently. I dont wanna buy another nintendo console...

The Sega Saturn -> Dreamcast transition effect.
I see it happening again.
Saturn owners were sure annoyed for being cut out of support so early in the console life. And Sega went out of the console market after that.
The only difference is that at the time the Dreamcast was a very good totally up to date console.
In the other hand the NX may not even be able to compete with the (by 2016) 3 years old PS4... It doesn't look good.

There is still no proof that whatever the NX is will be a direct followup to the WiiU.

Dear Nintendo,

I want a NX class starship. K-thx-bai!

How much gold-pressed latinum do you have on you?

You poor soul, you bought a console that has about 9-10 (16 in total with multiplats) games worth playing.

Not a wise decision.

Sadly platinum isn't available

Who said anything about platinum? This is gold-pressed latinum. I mean, the gold is pretty worthless, but it works well to encapsulate the latinum.

 

[YugamiSekai]

At least let it be stronger than Wii U.

 

[raulpica]

Hasn't Nintendo understood that if the console isn't on par with the others they won't get ANY third party support? Wasn't the Wii enough as a lesson? They had to fail on that with the WiiU as well, and now they're doing three in a row? Just... wat.

Lmao. I'm mobile right now. I just spotted the auto correct of latinum Silly Google!

Watching the WiiU just shovel itself into the floor was pretty funny/sad. A repeat would just be sad.

And the nintendo fanboys eating up a second helping would be tragic.

Maybe Nintendo simply doesn't care. I keep saying that if Nintendo is going to go in this route then they need to line up some third party teams that are OK with this direction and solely rely on them. Mobile and Indy devs tend to not have a lot of power to work with. They could try to partner with those companies. It's OK to have a low powered system but Nintendo needs to make it known to the Gaming public that this is their route and to not expect more. There needs to be entry level consoles and I believe Nintendo and I guess NVidia could be those for people. I was hoping for a Nintendo/OUYA war but OUYA never steped up. Maybe NVidia could give it a shot.

Well another issue is releasing it in an awkward time between console generations which will kill the NX.

Assuming it's a console - Maybe I'm being unrealistically optimistic, but is it possible the tweet could mean that Nintendo is going to get back in touch with reality and release hardware that won't compete with PS4 because it blows the PS4 out of the water? Who says Nintendo has to be the underdog in the competition?

Disappointing, though. As a 34 year old, I have fond memories of Nintendo and wish so much that they would do well. But they are determined to mess up everything .... constantly.

One thing that i'm hoping is that they release a premium version of the NX, more storage, better battery and nicer design for the handheld such as OLED/IPS over LED and aluminium build.
Assuming that they are going for a $150-200 price point then they could achieve this at $350-ish and I definitely see fans opting for the premium model and the existence of it will give the console value, like how the apple watch edition gives the apple watch more value.
