| Soundwave said: Depends on what you consider niche. I'm in airports due to my job all the time, and I constantly see kids, even in the same family with multiple tablets playing games. Like on a flight two weeks ago, I was in an airport with two kids playing some first-person-shooter on their tablet. I see virtually zero 3DS or Vita. Kids are definitely playing on these devices, they're even playing more than just "Candy Crush" on them from what I'm seeing. I'm guessing Nintendo did extensive research on kids and probably realized the same thing. If the NX was $500 like an iPad is then yes, I would agree 720p is too low, for a device that's likely going to be $250-$300 max and can double as a home console and play "real" Nintendo games on top of potentially doing "tablet stuff", to me that's a fair sized bargain actually. |
I'm going to have to wait till the official reveal before giving any more thoughts, the rumours point towards a device with very limited appeal imo, but the actual reveal and concrete information on various features may change my mind.
It IS possible that what we've heard CAN be a device with moderate appeal, the device may still be as the rumours say whilst not being what I imagined in the slightest. There is just too many IF'S and speculation at the moment.
I really don't see the NX running android and I'm not sure it'll be $300 either.
