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. |
I commute alot on trains, and I often see people sitting with tablets out, watching movies or tv shows on them on the go.
Occasionally they also game on them (though not as often, seems alot more common on smart phones).
Nintendo just has to make sure its easy for people to put their "movies & tv shows" onto it as well.
