Vita did that (better than the NX is going to do, I believe).

You're making a case for those that bought a Nintendo handheld and a nintendo home console. For those, yeah, maybe its a good deal. For those that just got the 3DS, its not. But we are assuming much in terms of pricing here. 250€ is perfectly good, whatever they decide to cram in there, 300 and up are pretty bad for a handheld gaming device. Maybe if they make i a phone aswell. Seems to work for alot of people. :p

Sounds expensive.

That graphics will draw a lot of battery.

It will probably have more than one mode. Battery/portable mode should be more efficient.

All good.  I was just skimming through comments and yours stood out.  I didn't know if you were responding to someone in the thread (didn't really read that many comments in this thread) or just posting it for no reason. 

A hand held that can be played on a television is no more a home console than a console that can be played on a controller screen.

I get it, you are daft. And I have solid reading comprehension. For example, you said you would rather buy two home consoles without mention of hand helds. But if it is both, well, should you not consider buying or sticking to your hand held? No consideration there? Probably because you are comparing it to home consoles. Which it is not.

If the rumors are true, I said before that this console uses mobile technology, cartridges, and has an adapter to hook up to a television. Sounds like a hand held that can be played on a television. It does not sound like a true hybrid. If Nintendo were to release a new hand held, would it not be released, as all their previous hand helds, during the middle of the home console generation? It would? Is this the middle of a home console generation? It is? The successor to the 3DS would be released in like 2017, right? That would be six years later, right? Is this console schedueled to be released in 2017? It is? Would it possibly be released in March (same month 3DS was released) instead of Novemeber (where all home consoles have been released in recent memory)? No? I wish people called Wii U a hybrid. I mean technically, it was a hybrid by your standards, too. Right? Hybrid in this case is just a buzzword. Nothing and I mean nothing that we have heard thus far says, "home console."

And I know what you stated - but you did not include the rest of my post but I clearly covered that. It is what it is. People who do not compare it to a hand held, even if they call it a hybrid, are doing it a disservice. If the rumors are true. Of course, you will probably not reply, or heavily edit out most of my reply if you do. And in that case, you are a waste of my time. I will cut my losses with you here. But do not think your foolishness falls upon blind eyes. I can see and I pay attention to, everything.

And slow claps are good for you, specifically. It seems things moving at normal pace for us are too fast for you.

My thoughts on this too a small bit lol, don't forget what's for dinner too, it's somewhere between Pizza and Stones, hope it's nice!

If the rumours are true... and they rarely are.

I would love to see the 3rd parties starting to roll out extra battery packs for this potential power eating beast, I'm thinking they could team up with the reboot of Ghostbusters to create Proton pack sized packs for long journeys!

It was not a mistake to respect you so much after my previous reading error. Most of what you said makes sense and I can respect even if I do not necessarily agree with you. With that said, if you are saying that it is not cheaper to keep everything in one box and that it is not smarter to have what could be your potential system selling capability packaged with the console, then as I said before, stay away from business. Shipping on two separate products can be a slippery slope that in the end, consumers would have to pay. There is no reason a connector for the television would need to be sold separately other than greed and confusion. I think Nintendo needs to keep this thing all together because it will make the most sense to the most people that way. If they just want a hand held, they got one, but if they want to hook it up to their television, for no additional (precieved) cost or (actual) inconvenience, they have that ability as well. It really is that simple.

At least you understand if what is rumored is true that this is a portable that can be connected to a television and not a home console. I will agree that if the price is too high, it will not work. However, what is being presented is not modern technology and relatively inexpensive. I do think they can sell it at the price you mentioned but they may break even as opposed to making profit. Of course, now we are speculating on something else entirely. Technically, it would not be sold at a loss but if they intended profit, they may not like that road and may try for 279 or 300. I refuse to pay above 300 for what the rumors have stated. But if it turns out to be within the 250-300 range, I will squirm but pay for it. Not to say everyone else would, however. I believe 250 is that magic number.

As I stated before, my daughter can link her iphone to our television with a cable that cost me like ten dollars. If Nintendo thinks they can get away with selling the adapter shell for much of anything at all, that would be silly. Fans may pick it up but like Vita with the overpriced memory cards, that could be an undoing for some people. If what is rumored is true then Nintendo may as well just package it in because this shell is basically the same thing as that iphone cable and to think it should cost the consumer anything more on the final price tag would be unacceptable.
