Is it reasonable to be upset about the NX because it's worse than the rumors?

It's not about rumors.
It's about meeting the expectations of the market of the era its released.

Nintendo has been falling short of those expectations.

The wii ans DS met them in a different way but ultimately the lack of power of the Wii made it become a hard sell after 3 years.

So, with the NX, Nintendo needs to release something powerful enough to not be outdated in 2/3 years. But also give people the features they want and need in a gaming device

That's the bad feeling I have. This is going to basically just be a portable and Nintendo won't have any real improvement (ie: a dock mode) for home. On top of that to ensure OK performance on battery life they will gimp the Tegra chip on top of that.

I doubt you'll need rumors or expectations to be disappointed by the NX.

You must have a lot of Nintendo friends around here.

I have, sadly a lot of them aren't that tech savvy and are constantly confusing the reply button with the report button. VGC better streamline the forum to make it easier to navigate.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
