Perhaps. :P

Too expensive.

Lol! Do you really think that this has something to do with NX? Don't make me laugh!

Now im really curious to what features will the NX have.

I hope they drop the gamepad and reduce the price it means

The only thing that this helps is the convenience. My gamepad broke and now I'm stuck dealing with Nintendo to get it fixed because they are the only game in town. So here I am stuck paying $100 for a right analog stick because its the only place I can go. It sickens me that I could buy 2 Pro controllers for the price of this one analog stick.

Which is unfortunate because you can actually get such analog stick replacement parts at a fraction of that cost.

And now make those limited edition and of every colour..... boom!

This pretty much proves that the reason the console is still so expensive is the controller...

so, if we take for example the Black Friday offer priced at 249.99$ bundled with download codes for BOTH Smash and Splatoon the whole thing could be 100$ cheaper without the gamepad ? DAAAAAAAMN I wasn't shure about this but now honestly I think Nintendo should have dropped the gamepad way back in 2012, we all know it takes some of the processing power from the console itself so selling Wii U at 150-200$ without having the console to support the gamepad would have made it A LOT better. I mean even if Nintendo still didn't advertise it I could see Wii U beeing at 25-30M right now if it was bundled with a regular Pro controller because with such a low price and amazing games lots of people probably would have picked it up eventually
