i honestly dont like to use the word flop, but this is going to flop hard

i asked that yesterday in the steambox thread, why do people know how many sales a device needs to be a flop or not? it's not as if it is made to play unique games on it which needs much support, it is made to play your pc games and android stuff on it, maybe even 100k sales would be enough, who knows?

i'm maybe interested in that, i could play borderlands 2 even more then (pezus already believes i'm crazy with that game)

well from the info that we have now i honestly think it wont be a success, looking at the specs they are pretty high, considering this wants to play andriod games it should be a quad core device, and seeing how some specs are higher than the vita's (higher res screen, HDMI output) its certainly going to cost about or more than the vita to produce. also Nvidia doesnt make games, so they basically want to make a system that is profitable from hardware day one, resulting in the retail price to be even higher. so what do we have? a product that has no market for it. it has controls to play serious games but the games that is plays are simple low budget iOS or andriod games. its cost will put it head to head with tablets that play the same games and appeal to much more people and if u want it to simply play games on than you have vita and 3ds, wich are cheaper and play MUCH more games and MUCH BETTER games. there is NO market for it.

but there will be people purchasing it even if not many and nobody of us knows how much they invested in r&d and how much their other costs will be. like i said, even a small amount of sales could be profitable and if it is made to stream pc games and to play android games it will work for many years because even android games in some years will run on it and pc games will always run on it, even in 15 years as long as they work with a controller.

all they have to do to make it a success is selling it for a profit and getting back the investments which shouldn't be too high, it was only for the device and not for games and most of the money they invested was not for the device itself, they would have invested it even without this device for the chips build in it (tegra 4 and stuff)
