Content sells consoles, not specs.

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

You know this how?

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!

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. 

That's exactly what it is... it's too for me hard to counter argue @ middleschool playground "I'm right because I say so" logic level... sorry I can't go back to being 7 y-old... your lack of logic is dead on arrival ;P

You're right about one thing. The industry is headed where PS and Xbox are headed.

And it's a shame.

But I think Nintendo can carve out a corner of the industry for itself. It doesn't need to offer 4K resolution, eight cores, or six teraflops. It just needs an attractive price point and a steady supply of Nintendo games, with a few interesting third-party games filling in the gaps. Nintendo doesn't need to sell 80 million units. It just needs to turn a consistent profit. 

Yh, carving out a corner is exactky what nintendo has been doing for a while now.

You seem to be under the assumption that the NX is in any way in a competition with Sony or Microsoft.

The same people who bought the Wii U will buy into the NX. Anyone not interested in Nintendo games will buy as usual.

The same people that bought a wiiU? For nintendos sake I hope they have higher aspirations than that.

Full disclosure, I agree with you, but I'll play devil's advocate here: 

 

Nintendo has never been about quantity. It's always been about quality. Realistically, Zelda alone could account for just as many sales as a big name exclusive like Uncharted or Halo, likely more. 

one title alone isnt going to move much hardware, the competing consoles have quantity and quality, to a point where Nintendo just cant compete. and we have seen this with the WiiU, a "gimmick" or novelty attribute wont make up for the many things the competition has to offer. when you have The Witcher 3, Fallout 4, Horizon, uncharted 4, dragon age, Gran theft auto, the elder scrolls, dark souls, and so so much more on one console, a single title like zelda wont make much of a difference.

 

the thing is, the NX is releasing mid gen, and its releasing in a touch situation where the compitition will offer a mid-gen upgrade, but also retaining the install bases of the base consoles. with considerably less content, considerably less third party support and company excutives so out touch that they believe that zelda, mario or donkey kong can actually make a difference. 

once NX releases, the compitition will have so much to offer, while the NX doesnt (its still a new console at the end of the day), and it will only have promises, ones that WiiU failed to live up to. 

Mario, Mario Kart, Mario Party, Zelda, Smash, Splatoon, Pikmin...

 

It is in no way "one game". There's just as many high profile exclusives, just... The multiplatform isn't there.

Yeah people making assumptions about something they know nothing about is annoying.



Going by MS' conference people won't need to buy an X1 to play any game it has which works more in NX's favour, I can tell you now if I had known this was going to be the case 3 years back I wouldn't have bought an X1 as now essentially I'm going to get all its games on PC.



Won't go that far but I have to say, the news of Scorpio likely made NInty cringe and curl to a fetal position, as they totally despise "the arms race". So long mid gen strategy, we hardly knew ye.

With so many living room boxes flooding the market, got to wonder if the first NX product will be a tablet, just to be different.

How is this hateful? This is legitimate speculation based on the current market and rumors.
