Nailed it. There are many rumors now that hype is becoming fear.

And we haven't the only thing that Nintendo told us about the NX is that its a unified platform and it wont run android. 

Even the Android bit, wouldn't really surprise me if Nikkei is at least partially correct, my guess is NX will be able to run Android apps under a custom OS, both Blackberry and Amazon already do this. Nikkei has been correct on many things regarding Nintendo even after Nintendo denials.

We already know all this.



Nintendo will inevitably do something stupid with their hardware choices, it's almost a part of their status quo by now.

My hope is not so much even that NX will be a huge success, but realistically does decent enough to allow them to continue as a hardware maker and have their own niche.

The industry today is just too different and challenging for Nintendo for them to realistically be a market leader, I hope at minimum though NX can move 20+ million consoles and 45-55+ million portables (assuming a tiered platform), and even that I fear won't be easy.

So Nintendo's trying to be reborn from its ashes huh? Sounds interesting. Learning from what you did wrong and acting on it. Let's hope you actually deliver Nintendo. That's the hard part as talk is cheap.

I don't know, prices are pretty high for words. 2 cents a letter...paying alot for these words.

12/22/2016- Made a bet with Ganoncrotch that the first 6 months of 2017 will be worse than 2016. A poll will be made to determine the winner. Loser has to take a picture of them imitating their profile picture.

Yeah, more or less what we already know. I think they're in the right path, I hope it all went fine in the end. I'm just hoping their focus would be still on console gaming, which they pretty much guaranteed, so I'm not worried about that. But they could make a lot of money and strengthen the Nintendo brand with thematic parks, smart devices apps...

I agree. But this has a bright side, I think. If our expectations are low, or we think that they might screw it hard with the NX, it's easier that we could be happy when it releases. If we expect the second coming of Christ, we'll be very dissapointed. And the fact that some people believed that NX controller leak indicates that people's expectations are way to low lol.
