| JRPGfan said: Kids going to school have backpacks to carry them around in. Grown ups going to work on public commutes (train and busses), carry brief cases to carry them in. Thats probably the way nintendo see's it. Theres plenty of tablets that are so big you cant carry them in pockets and they sell well. As time goes by, smart phones have gotten bigger and bigger screens, so have tablets. |
I've literally never used a tablet outside of my own house or someones house I am visiting. A tablet is literally just a phone with a bigger screen and without the ability to make calls in most cases. I'll use my phone that can actaully fit in my pocket when out and about, and a tablet when I'm not mobile to have a larger display.
There isn't many phones that break the 6 inch mark, and those phones also don't have controls they have to fit on the sides. It's just not practical. If the NX is this size you will see FAR less people using it out and about than the 3ds. It will lose a vast majority of it's appeal as a portable gaming device.
How many people carry mutliple LARGE devices out with them anyway? If someone DOES indeed take a tablet out with them will they want to take a massive handheld out with them too? If they have to choose between them will they pick the games console or the Smart Device. The 3ds is small enough that space management isn't even an issue.
A handheld with a screen size over 6 inches is a terrible mistake. I really hope the consumer version of the NX is smaller, I think it will be.
