if it was portable i'd have crossed over easy. i liked my vita more than my ds but i greatly liked my ds to smartphone gaming. since sony is clearly not making another portable i had pretty much figured i'd be buying the next nintendo portable. ...but it has to be truely portable. i don't play portables at home, i play portables on my commute to/from work. i'm not lugging anything the size of an ipad around on the train each day no matter what it does. hell, even the vita is a bit oversized but at least it more or less fits in my back pocket even if it sticks out the top. ..and as a home console it isn't very appealing either. nintendo would be asking me to sacrifice on a lot on other things to have the "mobile" feature. that isn't a feature i care about in a home console. i care about things like comfortable controllers with a good battery life and a good value between price and performance. i think NX won't do well in those areas compared to playstation and xbox. i just don't see a place for this in my gaming habits. |
If you already have a PS4 or XB1 where would a vanilla/standard Nintendo console fit anyway? You already have a PS4 for PS4 type experiences.
Nintendo is right to go in a different direction here, there is zero room for 5 freaking consoles (PS4, PS4 Neo, Scorpio, XB1, NX) all trying to do the same thing when the industry has shown it won't even support 3 that try the same thing at once.
A Vita in your back pocket too? That must be a massive back pocket.
