Don´t know if the source is right but I´m expecting this and people should be expecting this.

They are aiming for a very cheap console that will probably be a handheld and a homeconsole at the same time.

People saying that will not get third party support because of this... yeah because underpowered consoles never get any third party support, run and tell that to the 3DS xD

honestly i don't knwo what third party games you talking about on 3DS. Is the system getting games in the US and perhaps EUR that AUS is missing out? Last decent third party game i remember is RE Revelations.

oh gawd. Will Nintendo ever learn. Generally, people don't want to buy a product when they know the product sitting right next to it is more powerful.

Nintendo is trying to recreate the Wii again it seems. They could succeed, but the odds are against them.

Generally... That is false.

They just need a good price point for it... and make some good looking games.

Most of the nintendo users, buy it for the games not the graphics its capable of.


yes, and look at where the WiiU is now. If they want to be successful the COD, Battlefield, Batman, AC, and other multiplats of the world need to be on their console and at least comparible.


COD, Batman, AC were there for a few years. Didn't help.

that is because people knew they could get a better version on PS4 and those who has a last gen console didn't see the point of upgrading to a Wii U as there was no significant benefit.

Things change last minute all the time when making a console. This iwill be no different. We won't know the specs until it launches, or they officially release the info before hand (which Nintendo tends not to do).

Sounds believable but don't really trust the source.

There is only 3 ways this could be true :v This is a handheld, the fusion concept, or that the console i indeed not looking to compete in power with the PS4, it goes further than that, and is way more powerful than the PS4, because there is no way that a console weaker than the PS4 got good feedback from 3rd parties at E3 the only way for that to be possible, is if this would be a handheld.



COMG guide to points: 1 point = Raging. 2 points = Beasting. 3 points = Tearing it up. 4 points = Berzerk. 7 points = Rampage. 12 points = Burst. 15 points = god mode. 20+ points = DIVIDING BY ZERO!!! 40+ points = Youkai (originally Pokemon).

-1 = Negabeasting. -5= NegaRampage. -10 = NegaBurst

There's probably some large type of gimmick with the machine. Nintendo's own comments repeatedly state they want to "surprise" gamers and this is a "new concept".

Most people dismissed the news that Sharp would be making free-form shaped LCDs for Nintendo about a year ago as being some for QoL, but now I'm starting to think that is for the NX. Maybe it has an unconventionally shaped screen(s).

Yeah apparently knowing his powerful it is but not knowing what form-factor or type of platform it is means he can be trusted...
