Forums - Gaming - If NX was delayed it's good for PSVR.

The NX wasn't delayed because it never had a release date to begin with, you should change make the OP more accurate.

We have no evidence either way.  Rumors suggest it was delayed because the games wouldn't be ready.  And I'd imagine Nintendo didnt want to miss the Christmas market.  

 

BTW can you reply to that pm I sent you?

Maybe NX is compatible with PS VR and the delay is actually bad news.

Looks like we've got 3 examples already.  My point is very valid.

You got me with your sample of those three well know Nintendo enthusiasts.

You win.

You really think the NX is going to sell even less than the WiiU :/

You're right, I'm no Nintendo fan. I just own an OG Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advanced, DS, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Wii, and WiiU for shits and giggles.

I've been primarily a Playstation gamer for the last 5 years or so, but I'm still a Nintendo fan.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

I guess that settles that then.

you've presented absolutly no argument other than your ussual "i'm right so you're wrong" statements. 

both of these are entertainment devices.  both of these are gaming devices. they absolutely compete with each other because everyone has a limited buget of money, time, and shelf space.  when i find a really good book i don't buy as many games because i'm spending my free time elsewhere,.. it is just common sense.

most consumers are not as entrented in console loyalty as you are.  most consumers rely on world of mouth.  most consumer want to buy systems their friends have too.  psvr now has 3-4 months of time on the market without NX as a competitor.  if psvr is a good product and has fantastic word of month and builds a sizable demand those consumers probably aren't buying an NX a few months later.  as we have seen with wiiU and vita,.. first year sales are critical for a system.  if people don't buy it than developers don't develop for it or only give it late ports when they prioritize larger markets first.  LTD sales absolutly are effected by that kind of support.

the timing of a launch and the competitive landscape isn't the 100% only factor of influence that will determine the sucess of a platform but you'd have to be a fool to think it has absolutely no influence at all.  1st year sales determine just how viable the platform will be and it becomes almost impossible to change your fortunes after that.  having a successful launch is absolutely crucial.



Nintendo would have no impact on PSVR at all regardless; the huge price will be the biggest hurdle by far to overcome.

If there is one silver lining from this delay it's that psvr can maximise it's sales potential this Holiday. 

haha please.

 

if anything PSVR was going to but into NX's potential sales, not the other way around. There is just too much buzz for PS4 and VR (in general) atm.

I can't disagree that all the positive momentum is with PSVR but after the success of the Wii I've learned to never count Nintendo out until the fat lady has sung. 



Neo will hurt psvr sales more than.

I was going to buy psvr over NX this fall, yet now the Neo rumors remain persistent, an XBox slim this fall and NX in March sounds better. PSVR can wait a year to see what Sony is planning with it in regards to Neo.



PSVR will be a huge waste of money for anyone who gets fooled to actually buy one, this is a prediction I´m very certain with. Like PS4 it will see a higher spec revision/successor down the line.
