i have discovered what the NX is.

It's the same shit they did the last time in 2007 with the the Wii and the GCN. GCN didn't sell so they repackaged the GCN in a shinier package, increased the ram a bit and gave it a new name called Wii.

Same shit with the NX. LIke the GCN, the WiiU sold like shit so they have repackaged it.

WiiU and NX are the same thing.
>>
The gamecube was the same architecture as the Wii, the same way the PCs of today are the same architecture for the last couple decades. It doesn't mean todays PCs are "repackaged" PCs from decades ago. It just means they function similarly.

And even so, I seriously doubt the NX will be PPC because there's no one still manufacturing PPC chips in 2016.

Playing DKCTF off the system's internal flash memory isn't much better, especially when Nintendo cheaps out and buys the shittiest nands. Even 3DS games have load times, cartridge doesn't inherently mean no load times.

You're forgetting about the brand new gimmick controller that was the entire point of the console. NX will be more powerful than the PS4/Xbone but less powerful than its contemporaries for the third generation in a row.

>>
>>341664471
You do realize the question was pertaining to the incremental upgrades that are Neo and Scorpio? Which is irrelevant since third party developers won't be using those SKUs and sticking with the base PS4 and Xbone?

Why the hell does NX have to chase after Neo and Scorpio specs? It makes no sense. Literally matching the current consoles or even exceeding them by a good amount is good enough as is. It doesn't have to match the incremental upgrades.

>all those dislikes
This is what Nintendo has always been about. Their whole strategy is to make weaker hardware than the competition, but put more and better games on it - That way, they don't have to sell their console at a loss like Sony does, and they primarily rely on software sales to make money. This is good news for the consumer because it means you can always expect Nintendo consoles to have at least a handful of good games.

But no, you teenage Sonyggers know what's best. You know what Nintendo's fans want. We don't want more and better games, we want an absolute technological marvel like the PS4, even though it's a piece of shit and my PC had 10 times the power of the PS4 on its launch. Nintendo should just abandon what makes people like them and listen to you guys.

The issue is, that since the N64, Sony has had more and better games on it. Since the Gamecube, Xbox has had better games too.
That strategy straight up doesn't work, every generation of Nintendo console has gotten less and less sales, with the exception of the Wii and DS, which succeeded not because they pleased Nintendo fans but because they provided an 'intuitive' control scheme that appealed to casual gamers and normies. Unfortunately for Nintendo, new control methods don't appeal to anyone anymore due to iOS and android taking over the casual market, and the Wii motion controls alienating core gamers and developers with imprecise, gimmicky controls.
Sony and Microsoft have outsold them in every generation with the exception of the Wii generation because they sell their consoles at a loss and provide a better platform for making a profit to 3rd party developers, whilst also providing a decent range of 1st party titles.
>>
>>341668905
using a failing strategy
>>
>>341667806
And this is exactly why they're doing the Wii strategy again. You guys should have just bought the Wii U. It has Splatoon, Mario Maker, Bayonetta 2, Pokken Tournament, the definitive version of Smash 4, Mario 3D World, DK:TF, Pikmin 3, Hyrule Warriors, Zelda remakes, and Breath of the Wild coming out in 2017. I haven't been able to name this many good games on a console since the SNES era.

But instead, people chose not to buy it, so now we're getting punished with another Wii, which was Nintendo's worst console. And people will love it and eat it up like the retards they are.

>>341667876
Of course there are some exceptions, but when you look at other times Nintendo failed to outsell the competition, those were also the gens where Nintendo's home console was more powerful. The pattern (with the exception of the Wii U) is that when they make a weak console, everybody buys it, and when they make a strong console people instead go for the cheaper option. But we're told that this is bad, and that Nintendo is really evil and stupid for not making an incredibly powerful console.

Do you see the problem? We're being told Nintendo needs to create a strong console, by the same people who buy the weakest console every generation. They're hypocrites.

>>341668531
Yeah I mean it's almost like I prefer the company that provides more and better games, how anti-consumer right? No, it would be anti-consumer to make a more powerful (more expensive) console, and somehow act like it benefits the consumer, and then not put any games on it. And you know who does that.

Just to clarify - If the NX is really expensive and has no games, people will love it. But if it's cheap and has a ton of great games like the Wii U, everybody will talk about how it's this huge scam and how Nintendo is anti-consumer and they won't buy it.

The moral of the story is that people have shitty taste.

Why do Nintendo fan boys think that the Wii U was the 'hardcore' attempt?
It's called the Wii U.

Not to mention that the controller was an obvious attempt to ape tablets and smartphones.

Looking back, the Wii U didn't have many games to play.

I think the sales of the PS4 have proven that it's ALL about the specs.

No, newfag, the main strategy before Wii was to make a powerful console at an affordable price. SNES could support kebopards and mouse by default, but they decided to not include these so the price keeps low.

The N64 sold very well in the United States, almost as many units as the SNES. So for us in America, it was a lot more common to know a lot of people who had an N64.

Maybe not outright, but you implied that the NX will be an attempt to recapture the Wii audience as if they tried to do something different with the Wii U, failed, and are now going back to a Wii style console.

>I like the Wii U pad, it's one of my favorite controllers of all time. Just because it can be compared to tablets / smartphones doesn't mean I'm going to instantly hate it for that superficial reason.
It's not a bad controller by any means, but it is most definitely an attempt to appeal to iOS gamers.

More and better games than the PS4 and Xbox One. People just have bad taste. People even admit to superficial reasons for disliking the Wii U, like "the controller reminds me of a smartphone", and "I care about graphics on consoles".

>Nintendo failed to outsell the competition, those were also the gens where Nintendo's home console was more powerful.

What? N64? GameCube?

N64 beat Saturn for 2nd place in all territories but Japan and it had a helluva lot better 3rd party support than Wii and Wii U combined.

As for GameCube, it didn't fare too badly. It's just that PlayStation established its brand/trust to the point people would hold out for a PS2 port if given the chance. GameCube was still powerful enough to get ports, it's just that its competitors transitioned to DVD-ROMs when they thought CD would be the hurdle to overcome.

Wii U was not and never has been the most powerful of its generation if that's what you're insinuating. It failed because brand confusion and developer grievances about the hardware.

SNES was better than Genesis in some aspects, however and ended up in a tie as far as sales are concerned.

Even if Nintendo did make a high powered console it wouldn't make a difference. They know this and that is why they don't bother.

>>341666306
The biggest fuck-up in going PPC is that they really screwed themselves out of getting AAA ports, to the point where Nintendo was lucky just to get 360 and PS3 ports, and even then, ME3 and Arkham City proved that even those were pushing it. The porting process to PPC calls for competency that no producer is gonna waste on an underpowered port to a Nintendo system out of your demographic

The Gamecube was kinda lucky in that regard though, the PS2 was a nightmare to develop for in comparison, while the GC's Radeon-based GPU was basically a baby Radeon and familiar to devs, so while the PS2 usually got shitty multiplats, GC multiplats looked good and played smooth, some even better than those on the Xbox

No, I'm pointing out that it's an exception to the rule. It's the one time the cheap, weak console with the most games didn't sell the best.
>It failed because brand confusion
I think you're referring to the name of the console, leading people to believe that it's just an add-on for the Wii U or something? I don't really buy this idea that people are this stupid. There's no way they can be that stupid, they'd have to make a conscious effort to dumb themselves down and lower their IQ.

I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they're not stupid, they just have really bad taste and don't realize how hypocritical they are. That's why they insist that Nintendo needs stronger consoles, while buying the weakest console almost every gen. Or "Oh no, the Wii U pad reminds me of a smartphone, this is bad." These silly ideas caused them to buy a shittier, toned down PC (PS4 / Xbox One) and miss out on a ton of great games. If people were going to break the pattern of the weak, cheap, game driven console selling the best, this was not the gen to do it in.

I started saving a ton of money on games when I built my first PC. The 2 main ways PC gaming actually saves you money, despite the higher initial cost, is cheaper games, and your PC replacing certain consoles each gen. For example, I chose to skip the Xbox One and PS4 this time, because I noticed that I'm not very interested in their exclusives, and if you look at pic related (although this is an old pic), you can see that most people who buy the PS4 are buying inferior $60 versions of games that are available on PC. So because I already own a PC, and I'm not interested in the PS4's exclusives, buying the PS4 would be a silly decision for me. It would be like paying $300 just to play inferior, more expensive versions of the same games that I could just get on Steam, and to be told what controller to use.

>Not everyone that plays games can afford every console
Oh trust me. I'm definitely not advocating for that. I think blindly purchasing every console every generation, just because one can afford to do so, is one of the stupidest things someone can do.

Yeah, actually. The average consumer may work hard for their money, but researching a product or a service is often beneath them. You'll have moments like them arguing their coupons should be honored for the wrong store chain or suing over terms the fine print already covered.

Hell, I once dealt with a lady who thought the fucking sky was falling and railed me about how she has more imporant things to do because no one could be fucked learn the iPad kiosk password was 1234.

People are not bright and that is one of the hardest things to grasp when you deal with the common folk. Adult or not.

>Why would I want to buy Mario maker when I can just create my own levels in the Little big planet games?

Because littlebigplanet is shit.

You're only saying that because you don't like platformers, so to you they're all functionally equivalent. They're not.

Exactly. Reggie isn't allowed to say anything about the specs yet, so he gave a PR non-answer.

Wii U has a better graphics chip and more RAM than PS3 or 360.

It's CPU is weird, but not necessarily less powerful. It might be in some ways but a colleague of mine worked for a U dev and had to break in a Wii U dev kit, i.e. run their benchmark tests on it. He said Wii U ran their physics benchmarks better than PS3 or 360 without any optimisation and the other builds were already optimised.

Course there wad that one Metro dev that said Wii U's CPU sucked but, but it's plausible it was just an architecture they wren't used to.

wow, the Wii got close to selling a billion games

regardless of what you think of the Wii, that's pretty impressive

On paper. While those two systems were on their way out the door.

That's like saying Dreamcast brought the PlayStation to its knees when really it released 2 years before PS2 and 3 before GameCube in Japan

NX just needs to do good 1080p gaming. Not that hard these days.

Nobody has a 4k TV and nobody is going to program 4k games seeing how even a $600 gpu has a hard time with 4k games.

The Wii U would be easier to stomach if it acted as a native Gamecube. You shouldn't have to go into Wii mode, which even then requires modding.

The Wii U had a tough road ahead of it as a "tweener" console. The only successful tweener I can think of in the modern industry [i.e. NES - present] was the PC-Engine/TurboGrafx16 and that came out ~4 years after the Famicom and like 2-3 years before the Geneis/SNES.

Wii U came on pretty late for an in between system.

Let's not get too ahead of ourselves. The real issue is that rendering a game for 4K in a Laptop-tier GPU PROBABLY isn't going to be as sweet as everyone wants it to be.

>>341671478
Yeah, I got my value out of the WiiU, but I suspect I won't give a shit about the NX, which is a first.

I'm basically out of the console game altogether now, finally built a PC.

It's not ironic, I'm just projecting. I can't fucking believe people are that stupid. Part of me will never be able to accept it.

It's not even necessarily that I'm smarter than these people, it's just that when I'm passionate about something, in the same way I love to play video games, I do a lot of research and I make sure I know what I'm buying. I would NEVER hear the words "Wii U" and just instantly go "Oh, that must be an add-on for the Wii". If I didn't already know what the Wii U is, I would wonder, is this a home console? Is this a handheld? Is this some sort of add-on for the Wii? What sort of games will this thing have? What kind of controller does it use? etc.

I also feel like it's a copout for the Wii U's failure. Maybe people really did look at this console and choose to skip out on it, knowing what it was. Can they really be so fucking dumb that they didn't buy it because they didn't understand that it was a whole new console and not just a Wii add-on? I just can't believe more than a few hundred people actually did that.

I think the downgrade is shitty, but there's a reason Zelda's winning the E3 polls.

The only game that still stands up on that list is Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and FF7, but FF7 is available on platforms other than the PS1.

Also, developers abandoning Nintendo didn't do much, because Nintendo still makes some of the best games out there. I would say they alone have made 1/3rd of all the best games out there. That's one developer, making 1/3rd of all the best games. That's how good they are.

If you're refering to how empty the webm looks, they literally teleported to that location and used a debug mode to spawn in enemies, it was no more than a combat testing area for presenting the combat

You guys are forgetting that Reggie isn't a reliable source of insight. Remember that time he said the Wii (not the Wii U, the fucking Revolution) had graphics that would blow you away?

If you wanna find something to excuse your worries about the NX, go look at what Ubisoft said. The fact that Just Dance 4 is the ONLY new game announced at E3 releasing on the NX is what's really concerning.

Basically, what >>341674216 said.

I simply stated 2 unbiased facts, that PS1 sold over 100m and that a lot of devs jumped ship

You reply back with
>I'm going to shit on at least 20 classics that clearly hold up today
>d-doesn't matter either way
>nintendo makes 1/3 of all game that c-count
>they are THAT good

My post had nothing pro-Sony in it. It's like saying a pear falls due to gravity and being called a pear-fanboy or gravity-fanboy. I don't even own a Sony system since buying a PSP on a whim 7 years ago and barely using it outside MonsterHunter, my only other sony system being the PS1. Sorry you feel that way, anon.

hardly anyone had a PS1 until 98 and then by 2000 litrally everyone had one.

MGS FF7 Silent Hill the hype was out of control
