Like the concept but probably won't buy until I can get a good offer or when Mario Odyssey comes out which looks great. I was hoping for VR to be included and maybe a higher res screen. A few of the games shown looked awful and that ARMS boxing game looks like something that should be a free pack-in to demonstrate the controllers not a separate commercial game. Hmm this is a bit worrying actually I think we may see a big 3DS style price drop shortly and wonder if Nintendo will end up leaving hardware in the next few years.
Here in the uk the suggested retail price is £280, £80 over what many people were expecting. I was thinking it might be £210 so can be discounted to £199 but £280 seems a bit ridiculous.
I bought a tablet with a more powerful octacore cpu, 10" 1366x768 screen for £69.99.
I don't think we are talking break even here I think Nintendo are aiming for a very large profit on hardware alone. I realise they have new features in the controllers but still they won't cost that much!
I think they may have misjudged pricing very badly.
Also I think they needed VR as something new and fresh, the controllers look great but not enough in themselves.
Pricing of accessories seems very high too and software coming over the next year looks minimal.
Even later in the year I may have to think twice as really I'd only be buying it for Mario Oyssey. Xenoblade is a game I like to play but its not for me something I must buy unlike Mario.
Summary: disappointed
