I don't know why you all cry battery life so much.

It's just a screen.

There are tons of devices with very high quality displays that also have far more mechanics under the hood that this controller would require and still have tremendous battery lives.

This could easily have a good battery and and average life of greater than 15hrs, which is far more than enough for the greater majority of users.

The current controllers of this generation don't even have a 15 hr battery life. The only way they will be able to keep good battery life while adding the required technology for both the video streaming and the display is by using a huge battery which will again add more cost to the controller. It's not just a screen, I'm pretty sure the rumors are that it is a 3D screen like the 3DS which means an onboard processor, though small, will be needed to process the video.

Also, name me some of these supposed devices that have screens displaying VIDEO content and last longer than say 5 hours.


nintendo dont really care about battery life look at the 3ds its battery is like only 5 hrs compared to the ds lite
