There was a post about the use of 3d glasses for certain gaming. a good gimmick, but most people doesn't want to use 3d glasses for 3DTV as i'm aware of. not sure if there are stats about those things though. if nintendo played their cards right, and add those gimmicks on top of it. they can be force to reckon with. |
It sounded that way at first, but I can see how you meant it differently. Bolded was kind of Justin's point -- he basically said that the fewer consoles he has to buy, the better, because he would have more cash to spend on games. For him, who will buy all of the consoles anyway, it's a moot point in this discussion because either way we're talking about what Nintendo's next hardware will (or should) be like, not whether they should drop hardware entirely and move to another console. For others, who have to choose between consoles due to a more limited budget, that is the be-all, end-all of the discussion.
Which console gives the best bang for my buck? Is it worth buying the Nintendo console for what few games it gets, considering it won't get most of the high-profile third-party games? Is it worth buying a Wii U as a second console, considering it costs as much as 5 brand-new full-priced games, or about a hundred games during a Steam sale?
Ultimately when it comes to products like these, each person's choice is their own. It's tough to choose between two different things that appeal to you when you know you can't afford both, but it's a choice people have to be able to make daily on everything from what to buy for dinner to which pair of shoes you want more.
It would be great to have a console that meets both our desires, and such a thing is theoretically possible as none of them contradict each other, but it is unreasonable to expect such a thing. Even partnering with DeNA (and I don't doubt that there are some great improvements coming to Nintendo's online network this year and in the future thanks to that), I wouldn't ask Nintendo to provide the same level of support Sony and Microsoft provide without adopting their subscription model, and given the choice between the two I'd take the comparatively bare-bones, free version.
I think NX is a handheld, so I absolutely don't expect main series Final Fantasy and GTA games to be on it. Not sure how you think that could happen.
