| Intrinsic said: I think the NS is going to be faced with two questions. And how it answers them will determine its level of success. Is it a home console or is it a mobile handheld. If it's lends itself more to one than the other then it will alienate the others user base and support. Basically, the NS has to be the jack of all trades and master of both. Be a great handheld and be a great console. That's the only way I see it being successful. Should be interesting. |
The console part of that equation is not ... looking good.
Lets be honest, unless they upgrade this thing significantly, it is going to look badly outdated and third parties will predictably treat it how they treat Nintendo consoles.
Beyond that, Nintendo doesn't have a breakout novelty with this machine ... it's basically just a Wii U, but you can now taking it out of the house instead of just out of the living room.
There is no Wiimote here that's new and different from anything else and changes the game play. The game is the same, whether you play at home or on the road.
The only fundamentally new thing this gen is really VR, but VR is too expensive to be workable for the audience type Nintendo emphasizes.
