I honestly couldn't think of anything duller than watching someone else playing a computer game.

If I was on my computer I would be playing games on it, not watching someone else doing the exact same thing.

"Your specific question of just purely streaming gameplay, what we've got to think through is, so what's fun about that? From a consumer standpoint, what's fun about it?"

^ That I agree with. Who wants to see a bunch of streams of just gameplay with no commentary? I think people need to read the whole thing before dismissing it as Nintendo being ignorant.

I couldn't agree with you more. 

I see nothing wrong with this, Twitch is boring. Unless the definition of fun nowadays is watching random people play videogames instead of playing them. I dunno, maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Well, I'm guessing E3 is over, right?

"We don't think streaming 30 minutes of gameplay by itself is a lot of fun," 

That's the key point bolded, right there. I'm interested in what this affiliate program they're about to unveil entails. Whatever they do in terms of streaming, though, you can bet it'll have their own twist to it, that will make it fun. MKTV is just the start.

You know Google says most views on Youtube are from people watching games being played. They were surprised by this. Besides it's not Nintendo's place to decide if it's fun or not, the fans do that. This sounds like when Microsoft tried to inforce a vision they had, which gamers rejected as we already know.

I don't see the lightbar from the PS4 controller being fun either but I don't see Sony taking that out, even though fans hate it. Some apps make it to the console and some don't, It happens. The main concern for a console is playing videogames, apps are secondary.

@ Bubblegamer - Yeah, but are they moronic random ones or well put together entertaining ones? Where's the source?

Hey i don't like it either, but it's not about what some think, the majority decides these things. Colleagues of mine descibe it a spaceship light or something science fiction. Casual gamers really are easily impressed
