Well a vanilla NX home console is even less original. There would be five (5!) stationary consoles on the market (PS4, PS4 Neo, XB1, XB Scoprio, NX) all basically trying to do the same thing. There isn't a tablet on the market like this that can play console quality games. There is no single device that can plausibly function as a tablet + 3DS + Playstation 4 and do it anywhere you want. Last year there were about 30-35 million home consoles sold total (PS4 + XB1 + Wii U combined). For tablets that number is closer to 250 million. Even if Nintendo is only taking home a small number of that, it's a much larger pool to draw from. Nintendo can also undercut other tablet makers on price because they can sell their NX at/near cost because they make money on games. A $269.99 NX with a bleeding edge Tegra X2 with home dock included for TV play versus a $400 16GB iPad Mini? Value proposition is heavily in Nintendo's favor here. |
ok...didnt say anything about home consoles but cool
this wont do those things either. What makes this a PS4? it wont get half of the games that system gets. The tablets right now are pretty powerful, you could play Bioshock and thats from last gen.
It is a larger pool to draw from granted people would actually want this over the more popular brands and IMHO I dont see them wanting that. People buy expensive ipads all the time Apple has that kind of brand where that is possible. Ninty doesnt so price isnt even gonna be that big of a factor if people dont wnat it anyway.
Value is in the eye of the consumer. your average consumer doesnt even know what a Tegra x2 is so it doesnt really matter. There are cheaper tablets and people still buy the 400 dollar ipad.
