Batman: Arkham City on the Wii U, took me 10 hours, 10 HOURS, before I could play it. I could've driven to Phoenix, which is a 2 hour drive from where I live, bought a physical copy from any sort up there. Go to Chae Field for 3 hours to watch a Diamondbacks baseball game, drive the 2 hours back, and be ready to play the game before it finished installing! And that's with good internet! 3) If the storage within the system is so big and the games themselves take up so little space that I can have close to 30-50 games installed and still have plenty of room for more games if I want to. On a console that only has 32 gb of storage, that's only up to 2-4 games tops that you can fit in, before having to invest in an external hard drive, as opposed to just to buying all my Wii U games physically and not have to worry about the storage filling out, anytime soon! Same goes for the 3DS, Xenoblade Chronicles 3D would've taken up ALL of my storage and memory on my New 3DS XL if I had gone the digital route with that game! I went the physical route, and Ibe still got lots of space leftover for essential all the 3DS physical games I want! |
#1 won't happen. Not with Nintendo games. Nintendo already made their stance on the value of digital games abundantly clear. Where the discounts will come from are is the membership program that will offer cheaper prices to consumers who buy more, as well as sales, promotions, recommendations, and mark downs. But you're not going to see a game that would have been $60 physically launch for $50 just because its digital. Not from Nintendo, anyway. Maybe 3rd parties will start to do it, but Nintendo has gone on the record saying that they won't. Don't like it? Buy something else. There will be more than enough people who will.
#2 also won't happen. Not with the NX. That's just something people will have to get over. There are already things being done to make it more convenient, such as preloading a game before launch and being able to play other games while your new game loads in the background, but if you think that they're will be some magical solution that will stop download times, you'll either have to get over the fact that that's wrong, or get something else. Eshop download times are fine. They aren't slower or faster than any other game download service. There's more than enough people who can deal with download times to make up for you who can't.
#3 - They'll likely make the storage for both either quite large if they're smart, or quite small encouraging people to buy their own memory if they aren't. XB3D is your fault, not Nintendo's. It costs like $10 now to buy a 32GB SD card that makes XB3D look like a storage joke. If I had to guess, I'd say that the NX will have a 1TB HDD, while the NXDS will have a 64GB micro SD card. If that isn't enough for you and you aren't independant enough to buy your own larger storage size like the rest of the world, don't buy an NX. Plenty of people will be fine with this set up.
Nintendo doesn't care about your hell no when every form of media, including gaming, has hundreds of millions of people who are already all digital and will gladly say yes in your place.
