What would happen if 10 million of us boycotted the NX console?

Now i know this is close to impossible to take place, but bare with me on this one.
Based on some news, a video game industry analyst named Michael Pachter expects the LoZ:BotW to sell "at least 10 million consoles pretty quickly". Now nowhere in the history of all the Zelda games, has 1 title sold past 8 million copies on one console. So my question is how or why would you expect this game to sell past 10 million, or let alone sell the 10 million NX consoles (assuming the release would be a bundle with LoZ). I know the new LoZ game looks amazing, but what if the new console is a major disappointment like it's predecessor the WiiU, especially after hearing the last comment Reggie had to offer about the NX. Are we all going to dish out $350+ just to play this one amazing game and maybe a few other good/okay titles? I guess this must be what it feels like to put 'all your eggs in one basket', which brings me the topic question. What would happen to Nintendo if a large number of us fans, chose to boycott their new NX console. Whether it's because of all the disappointments and broken promises they had given us in the past or simply because a huge number of us don't want anything to do with the new NX(considering the console is a disappointment). What would happen to Nintendo, would they fall apart completely? Would they finally get their heads out of cloud 9 and listen to what the fans want?
My last question is, if this new NX isn't that big of an improvement from the WiiU, would you just play this game on your dusty WiiU? And if that were to happen wouldn't the WiiU hurt Nintendo even more?

100% confirmed that if the NX blows spec-wise, I'm going to play this LoZ on my LITERALLY dusty WiiU! Also LOL @ that broken promises video, publish date 2 years ago!

Oh god, another Pachter thread...

Edit:
You'll never boycott on that large of a scale.
Good luck, I'm getting an NX just to spite this~

The OP used Pachter's name once to prove some numbers AGAINST him?? The OP also linked the devs of LoZ, but OH HEY ANOTHER PACTHER thread!
And spite what? they never said 'hey ya'll let's all go and boycott the NX', all they did was bring up some good questions

I'm going to start an anti-boycott movement. We will all buy 2 NXs to counter your hate. :angry:
lol....what hate???

I love how a lot of the people on here read the first sentence and disregard everything else said, and brand it with "HATE", no one has actually answered the OPs questions, lol that includes me

the ten million people boycotting would probably be ten million people who wouldn't buy them anyways so it wont make a difference.
i wont be buying the nx til a game i want comes out and it wont be zelda since i have a wii u for that.
i'll probably even try to hold out for a limited edition unless they release something spectacular early on.

Don't take me literally, I was just mocking the idea of a boycott. They seem silly to me and always get nowhere.
Slacktivism at it's worst.

No matter how much the NX sucks, everyone is going to pressure me into buying it... And am I the only one who thinks that the new Zelda game looks like shit? It's not even TLOZ at this point.

What really should happen is 10 million boycotts for the ps4neo and xbox1 slim... What does that console do differently than the ones out right now???
YOU STILL HAVE TO BUY THE VR UNITS FOR ANOTHER $400

Nintendo would die LOL.
I mean the answer seems obviously.

ORRR

Nintendo fans will be hunting down games, until the edge of earth for any value.
Seems like the best answer for most people :creep:

I'd boycott it if I were disappointed with Nintendo lately. But overall, I love Nintendo's latest systems, the N3DS and the Wii U are fantastic and fun systems. If I wanted high end specs, I'd play games on the PC. Nintendo makes brilliant systems that make for fun and unique experiences, if you don't like that, then don't support them, but don't boycott them, they aren't doing anything wrong in regard to what they're setting out to do, you're just mad they aren't adhering to how you think they should function.

Is Michael Pachter ever right about gaming? Didn't he say the PSP was going to destroy the NDS and then said the Vita was going to destroy the 3DS?

  • x65943 @ x65943:
    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive
