You can't have a console-like experience on the go without killing the battery unless the console is super weak and even if its the wiiU with a smaller die size, the battery will still be a huge factor Firstly, How would that be flawed...? Just because its a handheld that can be docked to a TV doesn't mean its a console or just because its a console that's portable doesn't mean its a handheld (depending on the size). No one will see it as both.. It will be seen as either or... Yes, they won't distroy one of their divisions but they will distroy a source of revenue and a market because instead of having two sources of revenue (console and handheld), they will have one What Fusion will be is that it will be a huge flawed concept if its what you are saying... It can't have the power of the console cause its trying to be portable so it will be weak compared to even the ps4/x1 so there is no real reason for people to buy it apart from Nintendo fans. Then you will have that overlap of people that buy both the console and the handheld to experience gone because they will just be buying one "system" instead of two... Secondly, if they make it as weak as the wiiU... Then you will have the same issues as the wiiU from the console PoV... There will be bad press cause third parties are going to skip it entirely and gamers that aren't Nintendo fans wont really care about it. And since its going to be an expensive handheld because of its power, the handheld people would shy away from it because it will cost too much, specially with the whole docking nonsense... Its been proven that if it goes over $200, it won't sell very well so as a result, what will happen is that the sales of it will be less than wiiU+3ds combined because you don't have that overlap and the handheld will be too expensive If it has an optional home accessory in order for it to be a console, that means they essentially killed their console market and they will be never coming back to making consoles ever again because no one would take it seriously which is not a good thing for a gaming only company. It will be seen as a handheld... Not a console at all. I have no idea what you said in ur last two sentences so I will skip that loll |
I never said any of this was a good idea. I don't know exactly what limitations power consumption would have if they tried this, one can assume it would be able to just as much as one can assume it can't. We'd need actually numbers to figure that out.
If they made a 3DS with an HDMI out would it suddenly destroy their handheld division? Home console and handheld markets are pretty blended, they wouldn't be removing one, especially with a device that would serve as both. Software is the money maker, not hardware.
Using weak hardware seems like the only outcome trying something like this out, but weak hardware doesn't mean they are out or anything and I look to the Wii as the best example of such. While I don't agree with weak hardware, that's what Nintendo has been doing for a while now. Is it smart? I don't think so but I'm not Nintendo.
Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(
