Well I never judged my coolness on what kind of console I owned, so for me it wasnt a problem.

You were clearly the exception.

@Paperboy_J - it was still a lunchbox. Plus it's not the alternative colour that matters, it's the one that is pushed in marketing campaign.

The design was terrible and was yet another point on the long list of huge Nintendo mistakes. There's no going roung this, no negotiating.

*shrugs* I tried.



Around the Network

The last Nintendo console I owned was N64. All I ever wanted from them was a conventional powerful console with traditional controllers and amazing 1st and 3rd party libraries. With 4-6Tflops of power for 2017 for Sony/MS and 2TB of HDD space becoming the norm soon, NX is basically dead for Sony/Xbox gamers. The only way I see Nintendo turning this around is if they price the console at $249, far below the Scorpios and Neo's price. This has a double-edged sword though because then most consumers won't associate the NX with a premium gaming experience then if they will compete primarily on price. Also, the backwards compatible library for Xbox One and PS4 cannot be discounted.

If Nintendo doesn't want to sell their games on PS4/XB, that's fine. Branch out into PC gaming. Soon Steam will have 150 millions users and it will continue to grow. Nintendo doesn't understand that people will still buy their consoles and Nintendo PC games since many consumers don't own or want a PC. This is a smart move by MS to port everything onto the PC too. More sales = more $$$.



There is always TGS for third party announcements.



Hilarious when people post their hopes and wishes as if they were well thought predictions about a product no one knows shit about.



OP's racking up them VGC points:P

Somewhat off topic, but MS announcing Scorpio for fall 2017 while Nintendo is keeping quiet about the NX still is really annoying me now.



Can't really say whether or not the NX will do well in the market. We need to know what it is first before jumping to that conclusion.



What a joke thread... team A will lose because I support team B argument... children these days... a keyboard & a screen is all it takes to make some heads spin!

Content sells consoles, not specs.

and NX will have very little compared to the Xbox and Playstation.

instead of going around calling people children, how about you try make a decent counter argument. but if thats too hard, maybe you shouldnt go around calling other people children.
