Forums - Nintendo Discussion - NX very likely to flop....here is why: (my opinion)

 

NX or Wii U

NX 80 40.40%
 
Wii U 13 6.57%
 
Ps4. 105 53.03%
 
Total:198

No offense, but the overreaction towards this is utterly ridiculous, and borderline idiotic.

We don't yet know what the console will be, and we haven't seen any games for it yet.

The argument that it's bound to fail because it misses the 2016 holiday season is equally stupid. It's going to be there for holiday season 2017, and the others after it. Besides, consoles sales aren't like most game sales: they're not front loaded. They're marathon runners.

Really, the overreaction culture that's been going on on the internet for some years now, and the negativity plague that comes with it needs to go and rot.

The NX might very much be the next big thing. And no matter when it launches, if it's disruptive, if it entails people into what it brings to the table, no matter when it launches, it will sell.

If this is the kind of topics that's going to litter the forums until the NX launches, it's going to be painful to stick around. There's barely any semblance of intelligence coming out of these. In fact, there should be a warning in front of every such topic title that says: "WARNING: reading this topic might give you brain cancer".

TL;DR: I don't know anything about this product, but I think it'll be a flop.



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

Bad arguments, easily refutable.

E3 is obsolete, if they do their unveil at or just Gamescom it will be much bigger. Gamescom is far bigger than E3.
Nintendo DS was teased as something new, and released in March, eventually selling 150 million.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

we know nothing, honest question, you think is going to be a flop, or do you want a flop?

I dont it to fail but the release date and so much more is just tje worst they could pick. 

They should had wait till ps5 release, THEN release the most powerfull console for an good priece to get into the PS4-position from this gen.

Releasing a system mid gen, directly after your previous system failed horrible and its not even your fault (the nintendo games on wii u are fantastic) wont work.

 

But please tell me what NX should have (what wii u didnt had) that will make it a sucsess. Tell me anything specific.

Sony and Microsoft revealed their respective console at their own events. For all we know, Nintendo might do the same thing.

That would also be better. But it would be interesting if it were playable at Gamescom. So having the reveal before that would make me happy too ;)

Actually 9-10 year old boys in particular are crazy about the Playstation brand because they desperately want to be playing games their mom would say no to (ie: Grand Theft Auto).

Nintendo ironically while thy do aim for kids, sure it doesn't surprise me that their actual fan base might adults.

I've never seen a kid buying an Amiibo toy ... it's *always* 20-30 something males, lol.

nah u exaggerate.

9-10 year old dont (for the most part) want to play cod and co on playstation. I guess that are the 13-18 year olds. 

Hm...as someone with 9 year old in house (who still loves his Mario, Zelda and Kirby games)...no, he's not exaggerating at all. Kids that age really, really want to play CoD or CS:GO...or GTA...because they saw their older siblings playing that, and they want to be just like them.



it will do a hell of a lot better than the Wii U, in my opinion, especially since they are most likely figuring out ways to fix the software shortage issue.



Hi

I don't have a problem with release window. It actually gives NX a chance to build up a bit of a userbase before its first holidays. The key will be releasing a bunch of good games in that first holiday. Personally I think launching a console in the holiday period is not all that good of an idea. It wasn't non-holiday launch times that hurt the PS3 early on, it was the launch price and low number of exclusive games.
