Didn't this basically happen with PSVita?

poor comparison, thats like saying Nintendo shouldnt have released Wii because Power Glove, Sega Activator & Eyetoy werent very successful or that Playstation shouldnt have used CDs because Sega CD & 3DO didnt take off or they shouldnt have released PS VR because Virtual Boy sucked or that Microsoft shouldnt have created Xbox Live because Satellaview or SegaNet werent big hits.

 

the concept of Vita TV was fine, it was the execution that was lacking just like motion gaming, multimedia consoles, virtual reality headsets and online gaming were good concepts with poor execution.

Soooooo... you are saying that Sony did not basically do this with PSVita?

Soooooo.....you are saying Sony having no success with such a concept means its a bad idea for Nintendo to try it?

In the near term, we definitely need smaller version of the console that just runs games in their portable mode specs. Something that can take the 3DS's place and run 3DS and DS software.

After that, though? Definitely a Switch Ultra HD console, when that tech becomes available.

I will take that as a, "yes" but with the denial face. Gotcha

Give me a Switch Phone and they will have a Nintendo Phone owner for life. I don't see any reason to change the formula for the next many years, as the Switch is a great platform, built on a solid chipset, that will continue to evolve. I don't see any reason for major changes for at least the next decade.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

I hope for the return of dual screen. Basically what the wii u shouldve been, a console with a tablet controller you can take anywhere.

Pretty much.

RolStoppable said:

Yes, and the cost savings for consumers were $50. Might as well wait for a plain Switch price cut, if $50 are that important.

The Vita's screen was smaller, lower resolution had a smaller battery, didn't have mechanical controllers full of motion-control technology with their own independent battery's, didn't have a dock... And more.

The cost saving is likely not a representation of what could be achieved with the Switch.

Let the Sony and Microsoft fans hall around tons of massive hardware.

 

when cloud gaming becomes a viable thing, they wont need to.

Ok? And who knows what Nintendo will be doing at that point either? But at this time, and I'm sure for at least the next gen after this gen, it will still be clunky hardware on their part. Spencer can brag about how small the X is compared to other devices, but Nintendo has mastered the small device concept and I doubt they will allow themselves to be outdown in that department.

It's doubtful that there are big differences in costs between the Switch and Vita when it comes to screens and batteries.

Switch: 6.2" 1280x720 display, 4,310mah.
Vita: 5" 960x544 display, 2210mah.

Big differences there.

RolStoppable said:

Regardless of what you think of the Joy-Cons, you'd have to buy a Switch Pro Controller which has the same HD rumble, motion and an independent battery; you'd save nothing of significance there.

False.
You only need half the amount of stuff as it's only 1 controller, not two.

That means only 1x HD rumble, independent battery etc'.

RolStoppable said:

The dock is a piece of plastic with USB slots, HDMI Out and a connector for the power supply; all these things would move onto the redesigned home-only console, so the only cost savings would be on the piece of plastic. There's no "And more."

False. There is circuitry.

It takes the signal from USB C and splits it to HDMI and USB, plus routes some power delivery.

There is some DRM and chip negotiation going on there in order to curb piracy and allow for seamless transitions between portable and docked modes.


RolStoppable said:


Realistically, you wouldn't see more than a $50 reduction on such a hypothetical redesign. Additionally, chances are that you'd demand an HDD to be included, so that makes it all the more unlikely that the device would be more than $50 cheaper than the regular Switch.

You are basically throwing half the switch away and $50 savings is all you think it would bring? Regardless. It's your opinion, you are entitled to it.

And no. They would not be forced to include a Hard Drive.
