| Soundwave said: You get what you pay for. You can't seriously expect to have anything but a piece of shit hardware wise that's compromised up the ying yang for $199.99, people need to understand inflation is a thing too. Just like you can't buy a Coca-Cola for 75 cents anymore, you can't expect $200 to be the defacto hold price for game portables forever and ever and ever. The Super NES launched at $199.99 in 1991, today that would be almost $353. Inflation happens. I'd rather pay $250 or even $300 for a reasonably decent piece of hardware with a reasonably nice quality screen (that is the freaking thing you'll be staring at for hundreds of hours). This is not the 3DS-2, this is going to have the carry the *entire* Nintendo traditional gaming brand forwards (CONSOLE and portable). People dying for a $199.99 price are out to lunch, the only thing you're going to get at that price is a piece of shit hardware compromised in every which way which in 2 years you'll be wishing had a better quality chipset or more RAM or a screen that didn't look it was from your grandma's 2003-era portable DVD player. |
I think people just want Nintendo games, they don't give a crap about the hardware, it's just an obstacle in the way of what we actually want, that's why it should be cheap. If people are fine with 3DS level graphics, then I don't think anyone is going to complain about Wii U level hardware.
