| Soundwave said: I've said Nintendo should just let people choose what they want. Too much money/energy wasted in trying to dictate to people rather than offering them choice. If I don't want a purple sweater, stop trying to sell me a purple sweater, you're just wasting your time. I used to think the "Family Console" could be 1TFLOP, but now I'm thinking maybe they should just make it super cheap and let it act as a very cheap way for someone to get into the NX ecosystem on a whim, and then boom, now you have them stuck in your web, lol. |
The problem here is too many options. Most consumers are not educated to the degree that those of us who dwell on video game hardware related forums may be. I mean, one slightly confusing name, and some consumers in 2015 still don't understand that the Wii U is different console and not just a tablet controller addon for the Wii. Consumers like having a pretty clear choice. For example, they like Sony. Sony made the PS4. They buy a PS4. They may have a decent understanding of memory and eventually opt for a console with more, but that's a minor difference that's unlikely to confound the user. Your suggestion means shopping at dedicated game stores like Gamestop will be a nightmare everytime a consumer is even slightly confused about this proposed NX family of systems and has to have it broken down for them. Then they still won't understand and will just buy an easy to understand competition console instead.
