| RolStoppable said: An SCD would be a separate piece of hardware, basically an add-on for your console. Even at $100 it wouldn't be worth it for most people. I would even say that most people wouldn't be interested in using the SCDs of other people. What practical use is expected from an SCD anyway? Marginally better graphics? Please... |
Of course most people would be interested in using the SCDs of other people. Nintendo aren't morons. That'd advertise the hell out of something like this, clearly communicating the benefits for both parties and have any hardware that uses these built explicitely to take advantage of it. I wouldn't be suprised if you got a push notification everytime you weren't connected to one, but one was in your area like with Wifi.
It would be significantly better everything and, again, it wouldn't have to be worth it for most people. It would only have to be worth it for a few people for it to massively improve any game on the NX. Even if it sold only 1m units worldwide during its entire life time, aka less than nothing, that would be a vast network of a massive amount of computational data accessible to most people that would be dedicated, almost exclusively, to making games noticably better. People spend over $200 a generation just to ask console manufacturors for permision to play games online on their consoles. Selling a device like this at a fixed price, especially when it offers incentives via rewards, would be an absolute sinch of a sell to the small amount of people needed to make this thing work.
And it would all be decentralized. Listen to the podcast. You have literally no idea what you're talking about.
