Launch day.

Nintendo games are where its at. I buy their hardware to play their games, its really just that simple.

I'd need to see how their game development goes. If its the unified approach and it will get everything from the handheld and console teams, then it will be day 1. Well maybe first year as long as the hardware specs are up to snuff.

Nope, I would wait at least a year before buying it. I'm not making the same mistake twice.


You might need to wait longer than that then. Wasn't until 3 years later that we see where the Wii U is headed.

We'll see. Hopefully I won't need to wait for 3 years before buying the NX!

mm i dont know if am gonna buy a nintendo console again, i mean, when i bought the wii u a year and a half ago i knew about the droughts and i didnt mind, cuz i own other consoles (the wii u was meant to be my secondary console anyway), but now looking at my wii u library (2 fu**ng games) and the games that im gonna buy by the end of the generation (2 or 3 more), well, i think is just not worth it



20% would buy it day one without even knowing if it's a descent system? I'm speechless.... Looks like Nintendo can literally get away with anything and some people will still support them.

That could be said about any system that releases. Look at the PS4.. That thing sold on hype alone.



Current gaming platforms - Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Wii U, New 3DS, PC

Probably. Unless they let it come out with a 3DS launch type lineup. Any decent to good launch lineup and they can count me in.



Predictions for LT console sales:

PS4: 120M

XB1: 70M

WiiU: 14M

3DS: 60M

Vita: 13M

I've never been disappointed with a Nintendo system. Why wouldn't I? The day that Nintendo robs me with a shitty system, I'll stop blindly purchasing their systems. But so far, I have a 100% satisfaction ratio with them on their hardware.

Maybe a couple of years later, I always wait before I buy consoles. If it released in holiday 2016 I might get it holidays 2018.



Day one, I am pissed off about the direct this year, but there are still tons of great games I want that are coming and some that I still need to buy.
