People are buying these, they'll buy anything: https://cnet3.cbsistatic.com/img/NaSCSK4IJ48BhTCnU2Kz8R9gFAE=/1600x900/2016/09/07/2a3632fe-6eb5-4e80-84fe-8940ce3daf67/airpods-in-action.png

Yeah one and dones that make a shit ton of money. They can spend 1 million, make a smartphone game in 4 months that'll make  50-100 million. Even 25 million at worst.

 200 million people aren't buying it, I'm sorry but that simply is not happening. The biggest handheld generation was 150+80million and that was before smartphones. Everyone owns one, they use one and they have their preferred brand usually. 

There's absolutely no way this is costing $400 dollars and outperforming snapdragon 821's and A10 chips. They will have to look great, and look premium like peoples current phones and have the nuts and bolts to go with, they have to be at least equivalent to current phones. These phones would have to cost around $650 AT LEAST to even make money. Which they wont.

This would be terrible.

OK, on the ear buds I agree. I have had wireless Ear buds, and headphones for years. I have definitly been thrown for a loop by the people making these out to be such a big deal.

I think people greatly over estimate peoples commitment to these smartphones. I know 100's of people with smartphones, but I only know half a dozen that are brand loyal. Most of them switch brands every upgrade, and many of them never use the phones beyond web browsing, facebook, and phone calls. Most gamers I know don't even play games on their phone, they still haul around their 3DS or Vita, and play quality games. 

Sony and Nintendo need to do this. As companies they deserve to give gaming phones a good, and as coonsumers we deserve a choice beyond the duoply of idetical devices. If they gave gaming phones one real go, full support from 3rd parties, full 1st party support, full access to PSN and Nintendo Network, full access to PlayStation Store and eShop, and allowed mobille apps to port over for banking, home security, social, and the sorts. If they did that one time, and it failed, then I would move on, but as long as a gaming phone has never been made, I will continue to push for it to happen. I believe in Gamers, I beleive in people, and I believe there is a lagre untapped market of people that want a better mobile experience, that are just waiting for it to arrive.
