Are you calling me a fool? Because after the WiiU id be hard pressed to buy another Nintendo console let alone day one.

Nope. Not getting it until it's a proven sucess. Not gonna waste money only to find out it's all about the NX2.

They burned my trust with the Wii U, and its not like the 3DS was amazing or anything. So, this time its them that have to prove first that their system is worth getting.

 

Of course, i won't hide that price plays a huge factor.

Why do none of your arguments support buying it on day one?

Because you fail at seeing value.

I'll only respond to the greatest flaws of your OP.

1. Getting thousands of mobile games on NX (most of them being free downloads) is stupid, because Nintendo obviously wants to sell video games, be it packaged software or digitally from their eShop which features indie games as well as Virtual Console. While there is still the valid argument that Nintendo games are worth their price, having mobile games available on NX poses a very big risk of devaluing video games nonetheless.

2. The Wii U hasn't brought down costs of anything because it never got to the point of sustained mass production. This is why Nintendo didn't drop the price of the console, except for the $50 cut in September 2013. This fiscal year they plan to ship only 800k Wii Us which means that they do not intend to satisfy the remaining demand. This situation is already visible in Japan and will eventually catch up to the rest of the world.

1. Because having free mobile games on dedicated video game hardware is so stupid, I reiterate that it is damn stupid.

1) Silly rol. Anything that increases value is good. Having instant access to all of the Android based apps is a good thing. However, I would bet that Nintendo would do this through its own store vs using the Google Play Store. Think Amazon Fire separation. Thus Nintendo would collect the 30% of any $$ made via these apps.

2) I guess you have a point here. But I would say that in general costs for touch screens has decreased over the years since 2012.

You didn't answer the underlying question. Day 1?

X2 hasn't been put into mass production as far as i know, and it would make this HH over $299.

1) reasons why March launch

2) I don't see how this would auto-push this over $300. We're not talking about Intel here.

The answer would be games. Which we know nothing about.

You are absolutely putting the cart before the horse.

Will it have plenty of games I want to play? Then I may get it. Will it only have few or none? Then no.

My OP stress why there will be a large number of games. That should be a given. :)



Because we've heard nothing from Nintendo, including an actual name!



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

I'm getting it day one so I can write about it. You shouldn't.



If its a console I'm there! Won't be buying the handheld though.



No way, I will buy a better and less expensive version later.
