If it's more powerful than an XB1 and cheaper than both PS4 and XB1 (Possible given it's coming out in a time of better technology) and gathers 3rd party support AND Nintendo bring their A game software wise from the get go this could be quite successful.

Hope they don't gimmick it up.


How do you see that happening, Its not in the 3rd parties intrest to fragment the industry some more.  How do you convince them to make a port for hardware with no userbase and a fanbase that does not buy their games.


If they make it X86 and similar spec to current gen it shouldn't take too much convincing to make a Wii U version? They probably wouldn't have full blown support but it would bring a decent amount back. Their fanbase don't buy their games but this could convince others to spread their tastes a little.

your evidence doesn't support your claim.

sony also publicly stated they are working on their next console,.. that doesn't mean that ps4 is being replaced next year. R&D can span 3-6 years. stating that are working on a home console doesn't provide any evidence that NX is a home console.

 

edit: evidence your claim is baseless.

Very early stages of the current generation? Maybe if you aren't Nintendo. Strength in Japan? If you count a 50% console success rate as strength, then yeah, they're doing great in Japan.

Reggie needs to stop talking. So much.

This also doesn't confirm anything about the NX. We still don't know exactly what the NX is even intended to be, and the big three are constantly working on the next iteration of their home consoles in some capacity. It's not like a year before the Wii was offed Nintendo suddenly started R&D for what would become the Wii U.



 

To the surprise of no one. Seriously, everyone was just in denial about it being a handheld, the 3ds is still doing good, it still has some life in it, the Wii U was dead on arrival, which do you think they're replacing first?



I'm now filled with determination.

Please please please be powerful and have a standard controller.

Reads like this next console is not coming soon, I take next Nintendo console won't be coming 2016 as is being argued around.


We already know that "much later" is 2016 They have said multiple times they will be talking about NX in 2016-  For Reggie "much later" is also 2016

although he s tryng to imply otherwise-

if you beleive Reggie then don t make any bets on his word- 

They would not have done a thourough character assasination on the Wii u if they were not releasing NX next year



That doesn't mean shit to be honest. They start R&D as soon as one console is complete.

I think it is more logical from a business point of view that the NX is a handheld, powerful enough to handle Wii U level type games and its home console brother. They can't really afford to fuck up their handheld business, which I think it is more of a priority than the home console side.



Can we trust that?If yeah,I'm relieved,vindication,Now I'm able to speculate freely for the release date as I can stop putting handheld console as scenario which is mandatory,because we must be cautious/inclusive when we don't have many clues!You're acting like you were the only one who believed that is a home console!They have never teased a handheld console!
Actually the handheld console sayers was the minority...
Also,I will stop putting the hybrid or family of devices scenario!Spema weren't you from the supporters of that?

You will win vgc only if it releases in 2016,the battle is 2016 vs 2017 believers(I'm in them),not handheld console vs home console believers!:P

P.s so 3DS successor is  surely 2017 and onwards (Not that if it was the NX I  was considering the 2016 release year)of course if what you quoted really proves that it's a home console!Which I hope since it's what I was expecting!

No, it reads like they will talk about it in 2016, which they've said. 2016 is definitely when it'll launch.
