If you wouldn't buy a nintendo console for USD100 then your thoughts don't matter that much because you are the kind of person who would never buy a Nintendo console.

This would have the latest chipset and thus be multiple times more powerful than Ouya for starters. But the main thing is Nintendo money, backing, advertising, and a good quality controller. |
LOL, you are pretty good at humor.
In case you are being serious NO. The answer is not Ouya like hardware.

Cute.
Honestly it's off topic but there's not much Sony/Ms can do, their hardware is out and cant/shouldn't be anbandoned. So my quick thoughts:
MS: stay the course with $500+Kinect (reduce to 399 ASAP). IF in 1-2 years sales are shown to consistently lag PS4, then make a Kinectless SKU for $100 less than PS4. Focus on great 1st party software, and making the weaker hardware sing anyway they can (focus on reducing OS reserves).
Sony: Focus on the OS/UI/Online. Have to catch up to MS in that area. The hardware is good. Make a better controller (imo Xbox controller design is way better).

I wouldn't buy the Wii U for $100, no.
I would buy a Nintendo system like the one I propose for $100, yes. I'd buy it for the 2D classics, and the new Nintendo games as well.
And the system I propose could acrtually be $100, wherease the Wii U NEVER will be.
The answer is more advertising, better communication, online multiplayer on games that NEED it, more options, some people don't want the Wii U just because of the Gamepad, maybe rerelease the Basic Set w/o the Gamepad and instead a Pro Controller fully compatible with the entire system ( some games are limited to just Gamepad support), and have a Gamepad sold separately for $70. Some of these changes may actually work.

Yeah, I knew Vita TV wouldn't sell and it was hilarious how Neogaf was making it out like it was going to dethrone Apple and so forth. Hahahaha. Actually you have a point though with Vita TV... But there's a lot of differences, for one it's less powerful even the 360. For two it's not Sony's main console or focus and Sony has a history of anbandoning projects (3D, Move, eyetoy, etc etc etc)
Also emulating early 3D games is a whole other kettle of fish and not very attractive imo. I dont really care about playing ugly PS1/PS2 games. 2D stands the test of time and is what people have nostalgia for. Nobody is yearning to play old PS1 games...but everybody in the world loves 2D Mario games and the like. Emulation on Wii U was also a good point, they would have to have a change of heart and push emulation as a key aspect of the system.
Also stop being hung up on the Tegra K1, it doesn't have to be that, it can be any latest mobile chipset from any company (they will all have chipsets competitive to K1 anyway) Mobile chipsets tend to be cheap, Google Nexus devices usually have the latest and greatest chipsets for very cheap prices (229 Nexus tablet, which includes a screen and lots of other stuff a console doesn't need) $100 may be pushing it, that's why I'd aim for $149. My idea could fail, but I dont see a lot of options. What do YOU advocate? If they keep going with Wii U, it will keep dying. Believe that. |
At this point, they don't have a choice... Sell the wiiU for however much they can and make money on software and the 3ds will help with the cost... 2013 was a stupid year for Nintendo and the main reason for that is Iwata took control of NoA from Reggie and made the decisions that affected Nintendo so negatively... He has no idea what the NA market wants so he should go back to Japan.. They finally started advertising in November of 2013 (a year after the wiiU launched) and people finally started to understand that the wiiU is its own system and an extension of the wii... There was also a no show at e3 so there was really no excitement behind the wiiU
The games are also a factor, Pikmen 3 was suppose to launch in the launch window and not 6-8 months later and its a niche title... And they had two Mario in one year which is a bigger deal than one may think cause they are both platformers which is bad... In other words, they had games, apart from Mario, that hardly anyone cares about... But its clear that when a major game does come out, it does sell consoles and MK8 and Smash Bros should be enough to sell a lot of wiiUs and games like DKC, Beyonatta 2 and X (and what ever else Nintendo will annouce) should keep the sales sustained... I am not talking about like ps4/x1 sales btw, not like 300k+ or anything but enough to make money... They don't need to lose money in making a brand new console (Because manufacturing new parts will add a lot of cost) and don't need to saturate the market by getting one out without the gamepad... Not every hardware generation has to be a success but they better make sure their next one don't suck...

It's simple. Change they hardware philosophy. The Wii U is actually a Gamecube successor. It's almost the opposite to the Wii. Nintendo only needs to get another Wii like console out. How they are going to do so is not up to me but for Nintendo to think about.
The Ouya is not successful at all. Why would they go with that hardware philosophy? The fucked up the Wii U for going the Gamecube route, going the Ouya route will be even more stupid.

Nice ideia if you put a screen and call it the next nintendo handheld.
Holy hell, fallen. You make some of the other threads here in comparison look like pulitzer award winning stuff.
