Forums - Nintendo - "Alleged" photo of NX controller "leaked": We might as well discuss this now

Qwark said:

At this moment it doesn't seem like Sony makes those with the PS4, unlike the PS3 and Vita. PSP was a huge succes and outsold quite a few Nintendo handheld,  might even end up selling more than the 3DS. So how on earth is the NX going to compete with a console that has every bit of potential to reach 100 million + units.

I have not ones in this tread sayd anything about NX to reach PS4.. PS4 is likely at 55-75 mill. when NX comes.. And they won.. WiiU lost.. Salute Sony..

For really be a succes it offcourse has to match (or better) PS4 weekly numbers.. But when it comes to lifetime sales.. NX is competing with PS5/Xtwo

(Same like 360 did'nt compete in lifetime sales with PS2.. even if it came before PS3)

Difference here is that the PS2 was practically dead at this point, but there is a good chance that when NX comes out the PS5 isn´t even announced yet. Anyways even when it has similair hardware as the PS4 at that time and it recieves plenty of third party support, if the PS5 and X2 (or whatever the freaking fish they are going to call it), releases that will probably put Nintendo at square zero in therms of third party support again When it releases it has to gain marktshare alongside the PS4, which will be tough and when the PS5 will launch in 2020 it will probably outpowered and depended off a first party line-up again. Anywho what the NX needs to be is a transition device that fits the gap between 2016 and 2022 for Nintendo to than launch a console being able to compete with the PS5 and Xtwo. For it to be very succesful it should have that awesome thing that makes people want to have it alongside their consoles, but the NX just can't pick the fight with probably either the PS4/Xone or PS5/Xtwo without major concessions.

If I where Nintendo I would make a PS4 like Nintendo console with a nice gimmick, and many third party support. I would ditch the backwards compatabillity and restore the faith in the brand for the Hardcore gamer with the NX. This should be Nintendo's purpose of the NX and release an awesome roster of first party titles. When the 9th gen twins launch it can still profit from current gen and next gen launches in the first year and let it die the second year with a brand new NX which is going to compete with Sony again. But until the PS5/X2/NX2 launches I don't see Nintendo being able to really form a thread against a Sony console. I do however see it as the build up to make a console that can do that and can make a Nintendo console a primairy console instead of a secondary console mainly intresting because of exclusives. The N64 and Gamecube had nothing very special but to me it where the best Nintendo consoles, who says they can not be great without a hardware Gimmick and be able to compete with the rest. If the NX does exactly that it can be considered a succes, with selling let's say 50 million units. 



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

So, UE4. Basically this is almost confirmed as real? This and the neogaf post.

Guess I have to apologize to Meelow.

That's suspicious. Well, I hope it's just a prototype. I think it could work fine with proper buttons and handles. I just can't see how it could work with shooters, fighters, etc.

This thing looks worse than the gamepad in everyway. Smaller screen that's not even shaped like one and on top of that your hands will be covering part of it. Less buttons, poor excuses for analog sticks, and no grips, what is even the benefit to this thing?

It looks sleek and will avoid Nintendo having any stock issues.

This was the same response to the Wii Controller. They called Nintendo doomed. So, you can guess now how much weight it has...

There was little to no info about motion controls back then, when they started showing wii sports commercials the hype levels exploded.

 

This is different, you can test it right now if you download any 3d mobile game on your phone.

Didn't know my phone has 2 sticks and a shoulder buttons.

It was the same response to the Gamepad, though. They called Nintendo doomed. They were right.

No, it wasn't in the same level.

This looks like trash. Why are there so many responses in this thread? Has someone important said this is real?



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

You can still test how fun and responsive it is to use the screen buttons :)



Something about the sticks.

I still don't know what kind of tech are they using for this controller to compare to my phone. Can you confirm me it's the same? ;)

I mean in terms of playing games with it, that's all that really matters.

It has "NX" in the title, that alone wil guarantee 100+ replies.

It's a flat screen, what more do you need?

The tech behind it? That it's not always the same?

Dynamic Touchscreen Braille

 

For example.
