So many people are still believing in / hoping for an NX release Nov´16.

I think an NX release ´16 will be horrible for all of us.

What do you expect from NX? You want an real console, a competition for Ps4/xbox one with games like: F-Zero, Metroid Prime, Zelda and co right? Probl with good third party support?

Im sure this wont happen in 2016. It would ne stupid.

NOBODY would buy a competiter to ps4/xbox one in 2016.

Many of my friends just got an ps4, do you know why? Because many of their friends had an ps4 already so they could play online together. Thats the main reason many people are purchasing a console.

In 2016/2017 there will be the ps4 with an installed hw base of ~50mio units vs the NX with probl ~5 Mio Units. People wont get the NX because they dont know other people who got it. 

This was exactly the same sceanrio the wii u ran into in 2012. It was the strongest console in 2012/2013q3. But nobody bought it or bought the third party games for it. They got them on ps3/xbox 360 because that was were their friends at.

 

So the only possibility NX will release 2016 is: We will get another Wii. A console aimed heavily on the casual market. No Metroid Prime, No F-Zero, but Just Dance, Wii Sports and Wii Fit.

 

Do you still want NX to be released 2016?

Wow. I know it's your opinion, and I respect it, but you know all of that... how?

We now almost anything about the NX! As I see it, it could be the best Nintendo console ever, or the worst, or even an average console. Until we get some official information from Nintendo all we can do is speculate.

If they release the NX so "early" we're getting another wii? Well, that sucks, I bet Nintendo don't want that. Who would want to sell 100m of consoles? Crazy, right?

Also, how can you be so sure about all of those games missing at launch or missing at all? Have you seen Nintendo's output these past year? There have been some great games, but lots were cheap and quick games to fill the catalog. Are you seriously expecting Nintendo have been doing nothing for the NX all this time? Retro and ead 1 I think, have been working for two years on something, and some small games being filler indicate that they are indeed working on the NX. 

If I had to choose, I'll be the happiest man if they release NX platform in november 2016. If it's good and has good games and price people will buy it. Think about this, maybe people do the same as with the ps4, and 50m buy it "because my friend has bought it, so me too" xD

The only thing I agree with you is that maybe, just maybe, if they release it "too soon" it won't be what I'm expecting. I'd love it to have most of the leaked patents, specially that awesome free form controller, and it might be too soon for that (expensive, actually). But games? I'm sure they'll have plenty of games for the NX first year on the market.

At least that's what we should expect from them, to have learnt something from the wii u's failure.

But I'm optimistic. Merging handheld and console developing looks promising. I read somewhere that they release 18-24 games on average every year for both, now, if NX is really capable to play the same games in both, that would mean almost zero droughts. Everybody wins :P

 

you may buy it, but you probl also got a wii u, still its an failure.

Metroid Prime and co arnt the games that made the wii sucessfull.
