I am dying to see what the frack this thing is. I cant remember, was there as much mysteries around another console before being revealed before? I cant even remember this much fuzz about the Wii

Yeah, Nvidia didn't say anything about being involved.... Interesting. I wish Nintendo would come out and say something.

I am so seeing this happen, a underpowered home console but powerfull handheld that is going to look pretty good as a handheld but since Nvidia and Nintendo both want to make a profit is going to be wayyy to expensive to be sold to anyone except long-life nintendo fans who would buy anything to play their favourite games.

Its been the same for me since the gamecube (apart from NDS/3DS) YES I love nintendo games but NO not enough to buy consoles I do not want. And if a handheld costs more then $200 I do not want it. And it the console is not a success at the beginning, I probably won't want it once it is $200 and once again abandoned by all third parties....

While some don't like to admit it, you are in the majority of core gamers.  They have fond memories of Nintendo, like their characters, and enjoy playing their games at a friend's house every once and awhile, but the lack of 3rd party support and lesser HW just kills the desire to own their recent systems.

So, unless this thing is cheap enough, like under $200, the core gamers aren't going to be there.  And casuals will stick with their phones/tablets.

I believe everyone will stick to phones and tablets. I'll eat my hat if this mess is successful.

Personally, I didn't think the other rumored version, a home console whose controller doubled as a handheld, would have been successful, either.  However, it would have let them put in something more powerful than if it was a dedicated handheld.  And probably have okay 3rd party support for the next 2-3 years while the PS4 and XBO are a thing.

 

If this rumor is true, then I doubt there's going to be much of an upgrade from the Wii U, if any at all, in real world performance.  Which is probably why Nintendo is going to be putting their games on both.  It also means there probably isn't going to be much in terms AAA ports if this thing isn't a smash hit.  Which is probably why we have only had 4 games announced for it only 7 months from launch.  

 

I really can't believe Nintendo is waiting til there is a mere 5 or so months from launch to reveal it.  Wonder if they are worried about a negative reception.

The Wii U had quite a lot of buzz around it before it was revealed, but nothing on this level. The NX rumors have been crazy! I think that's because we'vew been waiting for a whole year to hear SOMETHING from Nintendo

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

The wait would be easier if we knew an exact date for the reveal, but at this point it seems like they're just gonna wait until a week or even just a few days beforehand to announce when.

Yeah, why would they want to stop the rumor mill? It's dricing the hype, keeping it fresh in peoples mind. They only negative thing is if it turns out to be a dissapointment, that we've over hyped it, hoping it to be something it's not - that could be dangerous.

This is Nintendo we're talking about, anything can happen.

Kimishima said NX won't be sold at a loss and they plan to ship 10 million of these things within 2017. I don't think they'd expect a Nintendo console that's expensive to sell 10 million units in one year.

Tatsumi Kimishima?
