| JustBeingReal said: This is hardly something that is marketable. The set-top boxes like Amazon's Fire TV aren't gaming centered devices, they just add some gaming features to a device that was designed to either bring smart TV functionality or stream TV Shows and Movies digitally through the internet, so it's fine for them to be that weak. I doubt Nintendo would want to be one among many of those kinds of devices and get lost in the crowd of an even busier space than the dedicated console market. |
Nintendo wont advertise it as an smart-tv-box (like fire tv, appletv and co).
It would also be alot more gaming centered (pretty much like the Nvidia Shield Console, but with tons of nintendo exclusives games).
Its already confirmed not to use android, so it still will be a console. Just a pretty small one with hardware similar to whats in those TV Boxes.
With all the nintendo exclusives games, the box would have a huge advantage over similar competitors and could still have smart tv functionality as well (even ps4/xbox one have that).
| JustBeingReal said: Vita and Vita TV didn't sell well, in the same way that Wii U didn't sell well, why would combining that kind of a thing make for a highly marketable and beast of a sales opportunity for Nintendo? |
Well -1 x -1 = +1 right ? ;)
Vita TV / Vita in general failed because of lack of good exlcusives/handheld games.
Wii U failed because of high priece just for playing exclusive games.
NX could pretty much negate the negative of both but combine the positive.
