>Nintendo has postponed mass production of its new console, code-named NX, from mid-2016 to early 2017 in order to enhance its “video-game/handheld-game-integrated gaming experience” with virtual reality functions, according to sources of Digitimes “from the related upstream supply chain.”
>The outlet claims the device will be assembled by Foxconn Electronics, and that the device will feature a five- to seven-inch display, controller, and joystick for users to play as a handheld, but is also able to connect to a TV for users to play as a home console.
>According to Digitimes, Nintendo has also reduced its order volume for NX. It had originally planned to order 20 million units for the first year, but its shipment target is now only 9.5 to 10 million units.
>The site’s sources believe this reduction is due to the fact that the console market has been shrinking, as well as concerns triggered by Wii U’s unsatisfactory shipment performance of two million units in 2015.

Miyamoto said himself they didn't like VR as it is.

>When you think about what virtual reality is, which is one person putting on some goggles and playing by themselves kind of over in a corner, or maybe they go into a separate room and they spend all their time alone playing in that virtual reality, that’s in direct contrast with what it is we’re trying to achieve with Wii U. And so I have a little bit of uneasiness with whether or not that’s the best way for people to play.
>>339707169

I wasn't saying VR is actually fun, the anon I was replying to was referencing the fact Miyamoto didn't like VR yet the next console is rumored to have it anyway.
Read the thread next time.
Here we go again with the fucking gimmicks, Nintendo!
Did you not learn from the WiiU?
This will go the same way the Virtual Boy did, the technology is shit and the performance cost is terrible, it's like they enjoy losing money.
YEAH MAN LET'S DEVELOP A CONSOLE WITH VIRTUAL REALITY THAT KIDS WILL DROPS WITHIN WEEKS AND ASK FOR A REFUND, NOTHING WILL GO WRONG AM I RIGHT, OH SHIT WHY ISN'T IT SELLING LIKE HOTCAKES WHEN WE FOCUSED ON VR, THE TECHNOLOGY OF THE FUTURE!!?!!
I thought Reggie said fuck VR like a year or two ago
>>339706018
Digitimes was already wrong. Why would you believe them again?
>>339707620
>was already wrong
When?
>delay a console for a few months
>somehow implement VR in that time and redo all of your launch titles to feature if even though the NX should be ready to launch soon because they need to mass-produce them and have them ready for the whole world
Yeah, no. Anyone believing this is an absolute fucking retard.
>>339707537
>PS4 selling faster than any other console.
Great, now where are the other 230m other console sales going to come from?
>>339707692
See
>>339707056
And I can point out a number of other rumors, like the rumor that claimed that the PS4 would come out in 2012.
They also claimed that Project Natal was a new Xbox console.
>>339707779
What?
>>339707692
They were one of the ones saying the NX would launch this summer.
>>339707945
Not him, but claiming that the console market isn't shrinking just because the PS4 is doing well is retarded.
It's not gonna come anywhere near the sales of Gen 7 and console sales are constantly going down.
>>339706018
>a five- to seven-inch display, controller, and joystick for users to play as a handheld
This doesn't sound very portable.
>all game dev switch to NX
>nothing on wiiU in 2016
>implying they can afford delay
really doubtful there
>>339707945
7th gen featured 3 consoles selling 80m+ to reach 270m total. Even if you account for the longer gen, this gen is still way off from matching sales.
On top of that, there's rumors of three new consoles.
>>339706018
Late to the party,again.
>>339708419
Blame Wii U for not selling well
>>339708527
The VR "party" hasn't even begun yet.
>Rumor:
EVERY TIME
Give me one reason to give a fuck about the NX when the Wii and Wii U is garbage.
>>339708651
Wii U isn't garbage, just underwhelming in an underwhelming gen
>>339708651
Why do people keep spamming this pic? Is it to show how retarded the person is?
>Fallout 4 on console
>Wolfenstein and Shadow Warrior on console
>buying Tales of Zestiria at all
>>339708695
No, it's garbage.
>>339708583
Everything isn't sell well. That's the point.
>>339708695
It is garbage.
>>339708815
No, it's mediocre
>>339708651
Ruggarall, can you fuck off?
Let's talk about games. Which Nintendo games would you like to try in VR?
Only thing I'd be interested would be a new Metroid Prime.
>>339708815
Tell me why anon
Without making objective points
>>339708043
There is growth between gen 6 and 8, is just that the Wii disrupted the market so much, the gen lasted so long and the Wii U shat the bed so hard that it looks like the console business is tanking.
>>339708830
>Everything isn't sell well.
Lol, also learn English
>>339708965
>There is growth between gen 6 and 8
Because of the 7th gen as a whole. There is a noticeable decline from 7th to 8th though.
>the Wii U shat the bed so hard that it looks like the console business is tanking.
It's not just the Wii U though. The Xbox One isn't doing much better and the PS4 isn't keeping pace with the Wii, let alone carry the gen.
The gen is a bust and everyone knows it.

>>339709210
Grade school rebuttal.
NX not at E3 because Nintendo themselves don't know what it is yet.
>>339709423
My dick isn't grade school, your mom can attest to that.
>>339709501
You base that on what?
>>339709290
>There is a noticeable decline from 7th to 8th though.
This is expected, the Wii's expanded audience is gone for good. The market is returning to normal.
The XBone is doing better than the 360 and the PS4 better than the PS2. The Wii was heavily front loaded and sales fell off a cliff on its fourth year, we will know if the PS4 won't catch up with it much later since PS3 sales peaked on its fifth year and the PS4 is following the same trend.
>>339706018
Can't wait to see the NX bomb
>>339708601
>implying vr will work on nintendo

>Introducing, the Virtual Guy
>>339707318

And look at how THAT turned out, huh? I bet they regret NOT going VR now.
>>339706018
So the console won't be coming out by March 2017 now?
So their only E3 title will be delayed further into next year as well?
Christ, what are you doing Nintendo?
>>339710380
That was the first news about the release you faggot
There is no 'postpone' anywhere
>>339706018
I'm calling it now, it's a phone that you can plug in controller with and plug into a base at home for more power. And device that can snap on and off the phone for controls easily so it's a phone and a handheld. Phone and tablets are eating up the mainstream market share and without the dudebro audience which makes up a large percentage of the re!aiming pie they have to go for casuals again, but this time they're doing it smart and making it able to set up at home for power for hardcore players. Best of both worlds. You saw it here first.
>>339710380
We've known it's coming out March 2017 for fucking ages.
>>339710380
>Beliving Internet rumors as fact.
Nintendo said they're not interested in VR
>>339710595

>>339707554
Retard.
>shit we need a gimmick
>let's do VR!
I now have a reason to not buy the NX, thanks Nintendy.
>>339710531
It's not rumor, 2017 is the date given on Nintendo's last fiscal report.
>>339707429
he produced all your Star Fox games anon, even Assault
>>339706018
I assume it's more future proofing than anything.
Like how the GC had a bunch of extra slots for add ons to be fixed on to it, despite seeing them largely unused.
Like maybe they'll release an additional processing unit that's compatible with oculus or something, or at least that's the plan. It's unlikely that after Miyamoto stated VR wasn't on their radar last year that they'd make use of an in house unit.
>>339710798
Maybe it'll be so!etching like the expansion pack 64 but it'll be very and a seperate purchase, that mite be cool.
>>339710754
Did you actually read the OP? It's claiming that the NX is being delayed.
>>339707576
>Did you not learn from the WiiU?
The saddest part of this statement is the wiiU didn't use a gimmick, it just emulated what gaming today has become.Now that it failed, Nintendo is going back to gimmicks, for sure.
>>339710693
Xbone 1.5 and PS4NEO will probably have integrated VR support as well.
>>339710693
All consoles are integrating VR.
Not to mention, this is just a rumor.
>>339711328
>>339711407
And I will not own them, either.
>>339709684
>The XBone is doing better than the 360
It isn't even doing half as well and that's before the massive loss.
>PS4 better than the PS2.
Wont have the longevity.
>>339711583
Ah you are the lard class or like some people say
" pcfags"
>>339712405
No, I'm an idort, I just don't buy consoles that have no games or are extremely gimmicky. Wii being an exception because I wanted Brawl at the time of buying it.
>>339707554
>i googled what I want to to be fact and showed the first thing that came up
Their source is a random fag on twitter
>>339711774
>It isn't even doing half as well and that's before the massive loss.
The 360 never done well to begin with, MS's business is not based on the sale of hardware. The XBone still sells better than the 360 launch aligned.
About the PS4 longevity, people said the same about the PS3 and here we are.
rip nx
virtual boy taught nintendo nothing
>>339707576
Gimmicks are what makes a console m8.
