- The Trailer certainly gives a better idea about what the NX is, much more than the WiiU trailer did. The trailer gives the impression that the NS is a Hybrid system. however, nintendo did say that the docking station only serves to connect the NS to the TV, as well as provide power. basically, the Dock is pretty much a glorified charging station that has an HDMI, Thus resulting it in technicially being a portable. you wouldnt call a PSP a "Hybrid" because you can connect it to a TV with a cable, right? However, one of the issues arises when Nintendo is calling the NS a "home gaming system". even though it technicially isnt.
- The first point isnt that bad, its not a huge problem sure. it doesnt really matter what the NS technicially is considered if the consumers like it. but it does show that Nintendo still has a communiction problem, and that these 3 minute trailers are no where near enough to illustrate what their consoles are and what they have to offer. As it stands now, Nintendo is just selling us the concept, not the product itself. and considering that the NS is releasing in roughly 5 months, that is concerning to say the least. And Nintendos refusal to even talk about their console is not only puzzling, but out right stupid. Nintendo seems to be a company that refuses to learn from its mistakes, and the mistakes done by others. |
Plugging it in on tv and playing via controller basically is a home console. No matter if it's a Scorpio or Fire TV harware level.
To the rest: No One* cares. Probably even less care about tech specs.
I don't remember one single Apple spot telling me the exact pixel count, quality of the camera sensor, the SoC power...
Yes, Apple gives us some data. But most people don't care.
Now, Nintendo is doing exactly that, selling Switch to basically everyone. It's not for the hardcore audience that actually watches E³ press conferences or our long and actually terribly boring hardware reveals. It's not even for people that watch a whole Nintendo direct.
Well, there is that actually pretty small crowd active in forums. And basically in every of those forums people are speculating. Showing so few probably led to more media coverage and discussion than showing every detail would've. But, again, most people aren't interested in all that stuff.
