Anyone who buys these is a chump, regardless of what price they list it as. The idea itself is very Japanese and the mark up is going to be ludicrous considering it's made out of cardboard...

Great idea for kids to be creative and see how things work, definitely not for me.

I've been trying to post for a while now, but I have to keep deleting my messages because they seem harsh or mean when I'm not trying to be. I'm just completely dumbfounded. I'm sure they'll sell plenty.

Did people actually see the pricetag they are asking? Am I the only one who thinks that this is downright embarrassing? Oh well, time to wait for the MP4 direct.

Yeah but it's Nintendo so if they want to sell you cardboard at the price of gold, people will pay and think they bought diamonds. So this is embarrassing indeed but not for Nintendo, they are the ones who will cash in on all their naive customers.

And I thought the Switch was weak from a point of view of processing power, now all those who say that such power is not what matters the most in video games are going to be very happy cause yeah, cardboard LOL.

Absolutly. If it sells well, than  cudos to Nintendo for making some money.

It doesnt matter. If Nintendo was able to get a 250 mio usberase in 7th gen, their goal needs to be to get that got or better again. No matter how, They are trying the Fusion concept currently, if it just sells 100 mio they would make ALOT less profit compare to the past which is bad.

So if the PS4 and Vita in total don't make the same sales as the PS3 and PSP in total, it's a flop?

Really really uninformed thing to say. Besides, they are still selling the 3DS, which still sells pretty good lol.

How much will the PS4 sell lifetime?

I dont think its impossible to achieve similar results. 

Also the PS4 is not the handheld replacement. The Vita is the Flop, not the PS4. Nintendo merged their consoles, they just do one currently. Sony replaced their handheld buisness with VR, we will see how this will turn out in the long run ;)

 

But if their VR buisness wont be able to move similar numbers to the PSP in the future, yeah, that will be a flop.

What's wrong with something being Japanese?

No need to make personal attacks just because you don't like the idea.

Telling people that I think they're chumps for buying a mark up gimmick is attacking them? It's actually an opinion, but whatever - be offended I guess.

Here I'll dumb it down for you, very plain Jane comment:

 

I think the Nintendo Labo (how is that even a word?) is stupid.

I going to make it even more simple, if the PS4 doesn't reach 158 million sales, will it be considered a flop. Disregarding handhelds, but purely basing it off previous install bases. With that, do you consider the PS3 a flop? I'm trying to understand the logic here.

Nothing.. OMG, forget I said anything. What I meant is that the idea, Nintendo Labo, is very Japanese centric. As in it's a typical product that reflects they're off the walls idea as a people. I wasn't implying that there is something wrong with being Japanese.
