I am so seeing this happen, a underpowered home console but powerfull handheld that is going to look pretty good as a handheld but since Nvidia and Nintendo both want to make a profit is going to be wayyy to expensive to be sold to anyone except long-life nintendo fans who would buy anything to play their favourite games.

Its been the same for me since the gamecube (apart from NDS/3DS) YES I love nintendo games but NO not enough to buy consoles I do not want. And if a handheld costs more then $200 I do not want it. And it the console is not a success at the beginning, I probably won't want it once it is $200 and once again abandoned by all third parties....

While some don't like to admit it, you are in the majority of core gamers.  They have fond memories of Nintendo, like their characters, and enjoy playing their games at a friend's house every once and awhile, but the lack of 3rd party support and lesser HW just kills the desire to own their recent systems.

So, unless this thing is cheap enough, like under $200, the core gamers aren't going to be there.  And casuals will stick with their phones/tablets.

I believe everyone will stick to phones and tablets. I'll eat my hat if this mess is successful.
