Presentation felt pretty outdated as well. Say what you want about Iwata but at least he made things interesting. Very lackluster overall. I went from hyped to meh at this point. Price point for the hardware assumedly being provided is too high. Motion controls should not have been given that much highlight. I mean what is this, 2006.

I disagree. I think the presentation was pretty damn clean and interesting. BUT I do agree with the "omg we have some motion control option games" felt forced and dated in terms of a 'been there, done that' sort of thing.

The presentation was more fun to watch than it was valuable in terms of game/system information. They still didn't reveal a lot about the system in terms of performance, and were either deliberately vague about launch titles (or there just are like none)

It was overall not good but there were some good parts in it

I miss Iwata as a presenter, new guys don't have much charm. The Suda 51 guy was funny though.

Yes. Yes it was!

Seems you have watched a different presentation than I did ...

I can understand people not being hyped by the presentation, but what you said here simply is wrong ...

I should've specified at launch. 



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

I don't think the price point is a problem because it likely suggests that the Switch will be somewhat powerful spec wise. 

Oh man... I'm so, so sorry...

I still don't get how 299 is so much worse than 249.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Id be happy if the only launch game was zelda.

But lets be honest it is far more concerning that we don't know what is coming out in the first 12 months apart from a few games.

Come on vivster, when you're already planning to spend north of $200 on an expendable product every penny counts.
