I hope the NX is a 10 year, mega powerful console, that is expensive.

Not having a Gamepad will feel like such a step backwards.  You guys must really love analogue typing more than I do.  They may as well dump Miiverse too if that's the case.  Having to point to each letter on screen with a d-pad or analogue stick and then click it with another button press will turn what was once ease of communication into an abominable chore.  Let's bring back typewriters too while we're at it.

Its the price man.....

If its only for typeing, make sure the Next consol has a USB port and allow people to plug in a pc keyboard.

 

Nintendo needs to be under 300$ to be successfull (because the ps4/xb1 will be 300$ or less by then), and the cost of the gamepad is just to much a burdon on the total system costs to justify it going with the consol.

It's not just for the typing, but that is one of the joys of interfacing with the Wii U that isn't replicated on other systems.  Shouldn't the Gamepad become cheaper to produce over time though?  Anyways, pricepoint alone does not render a Nintendo console successful.  The Gamecube was a powerful little system and even at $199 (and later $99) it still landed in 3rd in it's generation.
