The Basic NX better be able to plug in to a TV and play on the go without having to pay for more functionally. Now I wanna see the games.

Most of that confusion came from the name and no marketing, replace U with 2 and have some adverts and that's the confusion gone.

If this is what they are going to do, then I'm afraid I just don't think its going to work. Just sounds way too confusing.

exactly! proper marketing and word of mouth can bypass this, people are not THAT stupid, basic and pro versions of the same product are being used commonly, even by apple

if 3rd party support is close to zero once more, people won't buy a basic or a pro version anyway...

So...Nintendo is trying to confuse people even more. That'll go really well with their NX marketing campaign. The second you introduce detachable screens is the second you exit the mainstream and your demographic is crazy people in an insane asylum.

I find this to be probably true due to many things Kimishima has said. "NX is not the successor to Wii U or 3DS". It's probably a hybrid, a successor to both. How funny. And "NX isn't one system, it's a family of systems". I think this has something to do with NX. I just think it's going to be insanely hard to market. Especially when you're making people buy screens.

Great. I was really missing these fucking NX rumors... >.>

No, it describes a Vita + Vita TV like combo that can enhance the TV experience when playing at home, plus the ability to possibly upgrade via carts.  Yeah, pretty difficult to understand. 

It's not so much to do with not knowing how to figure it out, but with it just not being a cohesive and approachable design. You're talking about popping and lcd and battery pack in and out of your base console(which is useless on its own, if i understand correctly) plus the home dock, and whatever coontrols and cables go along with that. I dunno, it just sounds like the antithesis of the whole "approachable" "just works" direction that electronics have been going in for the past decade. I can't imagine anyone looking at all those parts and thinking "I want to buy this for my kid." Even if it comes preassembled, I can't think of how they could market the modular fuctionality without making it seem like too much of a hassle for most people to be bothered with.

With the Wiimote, you just plugged your nunchuck in and you were done. Motion plus was a bit more complicated, but the Wiimote had only one port, so, once again, pretty straight forward. Even then I'm sure you had people wondering why they needed that little addon in the first place.

From the article in the OP, the main unit would be like a Vita TV, with no screen, so no portability. You could buy a screen for it to make it portable and then also buy controllers:

"The purposed price will be of $300, the LCD will be sold for $100-200 depending on the size and resolution. The controllers will be extra to assemble on it in a portable form for $50."

That's nothing like a Vita + Vita TV. In fact, with this system you're going to have to buy the base model and then, if you want to get a handheld, you'll have to buy the screen add-on. And if you want the shiny graphics and are fan of resolutions and fps, you'll have to buy the booster pack. And finally, if someone wants to get the full experience, you'll have to buy all three components of this mess.

But whatever, I don't think this is true.

if you say so.
