I'll put never. But there's no 'no' option. I wouldn't buy it but I 'might' buy it, maybe one day.

2020 as i think thats when the next gen will start with PS5 and XBOX NEXT

If Nintendo doesn't anything revolutionary and earth-shattering then they should at least wait till until 2018

but i think they will release in 2017 or even could release in 2016

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.


I wouldn't call the Wii-U or Wii shitty but when it comes to the hardware robbing the devoted Nintendo fan is exactly what they have been doing for these past two generations. Wii was a slightly spect up Gamecube for $250 and was succesfull thanks to the motion control hype. With Wii-U Nintendo again produced an underpowered and even more expensive system, purely in the hope of scoring the interest of casuals once again. These decisions were against the interests of the tradittional Nintendo gamer. If any it's comparable with what Microsoft did by bundling Kinect with every Xbox One at first. It made the system unnecessarily expensive for people who were not interested in motion controll.

 

Again i'm talking hardware here, game wise Nintendo has delivered some great titles. Though lately even on that front they seem to be losing touch with their fan base(new metroid game).

I understand your point with wii and wiiU, but my main reason in buying their systems is for their first party titles. They deliver on that, they can count me in. For all I know, their next system could be non-HD (it won't happen but it's just an example) and I'd still be more then happy to spend 200$+ knowing that they would deliver me a dozen+ great to amazing games over the next 3-4 years. 

Again, for me, I just see the initial 200-300$ investment as a purchase to actually play all of their amazing IPs. I'm not really buying their hardware to get the most beautiful graphics or to get the best price-hardware ratio.



Predictions for LT console sales:

PS4: 120M

XB1: 70M

WiiU: 14M

3DS: 60M

Vita: 13M

actually hr did not say this-  a unified concept yes- but he specifically said they would not have all/most games developed for both systems-  go back and read it

The OP says a hybrid system, the successor to both 3DS & Wii U-go back and read it.


If you want to beleive an OP on a gamer forum instead of Iwata the CEO of Nintendo then go right ahead-  but you may want to read his words specifically addressing your sentiment of having all games for both systems  -  that is not going to happen so why pretend it is?  This is not the fantasy section of the forum  forum is it?

What the hell are u talking about? I know the OP doesn't know more than Iwata, but it's his thread and he said for the sake of consistency pretend it's a fully unified approach. Also, Miyamoto himself said there is a possibility of making games playable on either device so let's not pretend it's an impossible scenario.

2016. Aside from perhaps the virtual boy, I feel I've gotten my money's worth from every Nintendo system.
