Only way NX would have long legs like PSP or 3DS would be to attract developers making games for XB1/PS4
Psvita couldn't do that
Failed big time
Yup , it needs to have similar specs so that porting games are possible. Vita got some PS3 ports , but PS3/X360 were already on their way out at the time.
NX can do very well as a handheld , but Ninty really need to step up.
Exactly. Moreover, there isn't any space for a third identical/core console in the market.
Yea that has been true since the days of Wii. Sony pushed out Sega and then MS pushed out Nintendo. They just dont have the size or money of those companies.Portable have always been their stronghold , glad they are doubling down on that. -
Pokemon Go audience is not the kind that would spend $300 & try to get into core stuff
Majority wont , but It has massive user base in the hundreds of millions ( more users than Google maps ) . Even if Nintendo targets just the whales ( The kind who spend hundreds on dollars on mobile games ) it would be a pretty sizable boost to NX.
-
The way it's going to be priced is important....& the specs being touted make it look like another Vita
there was no market for Vita no matter how much sony tried....it was left without support(third party)
Yet again only hardcore Nintendo fans will buy this just like WIIU
no BC makes it even more laughable.....as First Party will have to make so many games for it to create a line up
Well that is true , If it is close to Vita specs then it will fail. But hopefully that is not the case.
There has been huge developments wrt to mobile graphics processors. Mobile phones themselves are very capable but lead themselves to problems such as overheating and battery life because they are not dedicated devices.
And no PS4 is at 40m while Xbox isnt even half of that.

If NX can come at least close to PS4/XB1 performance it might have a chance to be very big.
a ) Unlike Wii U , this is a portable. Which means its going to have a sizeable userbase similar to 3DS. Yes while its not Gameboy , 60m is still a lot. 3DS also has good third party support.
b ) PS4 and XB1 will be supported even after NEO and Scorpio come out. So at least for the next few years , NX can get Vanilla PS4 ports. If specs are comparable.
c ) Pokemon is ridiculously big right now , if they can Tap into that audience. It will be a huge boost.
d ) We finally get HD Monster Hunter AFTER 10 freaking years.
e ) Its very weird that a Sonic game is announced for it , and not a Mario game. Its like some alternate timeline from the SNES Genesis era
-
Wut? 3DS has sold more than PS4,Vita and XB1 combined.
Combining their handheld and Mainline console is a great idea , they can focus all efforts on one console. And 3DS already has good third part support. They know they cant compete directly with PS4 or XB1 with a console ( Even if it was more powerful ). So this way we get another good system.
-
FINALLY Monster Hunter will be in HD OMG
Even though I am hella salty with Nintendo about Wii U. But this looks good , they gave up on traditional console and went full force on handheld. Power is not an issue because Nintendo arent really interested in making large scale AAA games. So even if it was as powerful as PS4 , they wouldn't really be using it fully.
Lol wtf. It will use Cartridges?
Everyone is moving towards UHD Blu Ray drives now.Its a handheld , disc drives on handhelds are a pain.
Basically it's a rebadged Nvidia Shield TV with some added functionality.
Honestly if Shield had a good software lineup it would have done well. This one will.

Developer : SEGA
Publisher : SEGA
Release Date Jan 24th 2017
Genre : Beat em Up
Platform : PS4
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2016/07/27/yakuza-0-launches-january-24-2017-exclusively-on-ps4/
Gameplay
A series first, Kiryu and Majima both can fight with three completely different styles that suit your style of play or the situation at hand. Balance, Speed, or Power -- Which will you choose? Not that you have to choose -- all three styles, once unlocked, can be swapped on the fly.
MAJIMA
Thug Style
This showboating fighting style born of the streets suits the young Goro Majima's personality. Its flashy kicks and omnidirectional attacks gather attention, but Majima won't hesitate to go for the eyes or vital organs while in this style. Much like Kiryu's "Brawler" style, the Thug style has various grabs and is the most well rounded his styles.
Slugger Style
The Slugger fighting style puts the "bat" in "battle". Fend off blade attacks with your bat and then come out swinging to crush your opponent's guard. You can even use the bat in unconventional ways like treating it as a sword or nunchaku. By balancing the iron defense and iron hammers, you can overwhelm many opponents with this powerful style.
Breaker Style
Incorporate break dancing moves in this fighting style to break your opponents. Spin, slam and serve your opponents faster than they can keep up with. Additionally, Majima can strike a pose after performing spinning attacks causing an incredible amount of damage. It may not look like he's fighting, but when Majima is in this tricky style, his opponents will be taken out before they know what hit them.
KIRYU
Brawler Style
This forceful fighting style embodies the strength held by a young Kazuma Kiryu. It is a fair match against any fighting style with its kicks, punches, grabs and throws. Additionally, it has a counter attack ability that lets you throw a punch immediately after being hit. By staying in control of a fight, this style can bring down even the toughest opponents.
Beast Style
This monstrous style uses its surroundings to Kiryu's advantage. It has powerful hits and grab attacks when fighting unarmed, but its true strength lies in fights where there are objects lying around. Automatically pick up anything Kiryu can use as a weapon and bash your opponents faces in. You can use this style to crush enemies and weapons into pieces.
Rush Style
A swift fighting style that uses fast-paced repetitive punches combined with sways and weavings from light footwork. Gracefully dodge anything that's thrown at you until you find the perfect opportunity to dash in pummel your opponent. If you can get in a certain number of hits fast enough, the opponent will fall unconscious and, from there, you can slam in your strongest charged attacks.

In hindsight the art with that RE5 like piss filter is just so terrible , Like every place just seems the same. UG had a much better neon lit colorful environment.
-
ROFL ... no respect for KCs post
This isnt a Contest guys.
-
This.
Always take a look at the attacks and the no. mentioned next to them. A lower CP Pokémon can also have a better attack. So, in a battle, if you are good at dodging the opponent's attacks, then you can deal more damage.
Also, caught a Rhyhorn today.
One of my favourite Pokémon from the original 150. Yea I threw away so many pokes without looking at stats thinking they are sh*t.
Need to use the IV calc to find out real strength of Pokemon.
-
And Nintendo stock continues to drop.
Because dumb people bought shares thinking Nintendo owns 100% of Pokemon. Now that they found out its just 13% epic fails
Funny thing is both TPC and Niantic are private , so they will keep raking in money and nobody can make a quick buck off it.
-
This game actually has a lot of hidden depth when it comes to battling. CP isnt the only factor to determine strength.
-
Wii Sports was a bundled game. But lets be real , Wii sold million only because of that game. It was the game that attracted all the casuals to the Wii. Some bundled games SELL the consoles like how Mario sold the NES or Sonic sold the Genesis. Then you have spam bundles like Knack on PS4 (In Japan) , where people want the PS4 and then throw away Knack.
Not just last gen, this gen as well it would outsell gt and halo despite being on just 13 million consoles. Yes, competition is less on nintendo consoles but the point is that the demand for nintendo games is still the most out of all the publishers.
Thats an understatement. If a person wants to buy a Racing game on PS4 , he gets to choose between at least 4-5 good games this year alone. Out of which GT is one of them.
On Wii U , forget about the genre. Either you buy Mario Kart and Smash or you dont buy any other game that year. Because its the only good one.
Anyway am stopping with the OT here , Am just mad salty about Wii U since I bought one and its been such an underwhelming console. Even out of the 4-5 good games it does have , they are all just safe to safe Sequels of existing franchises. And some people call this console "Underrated" , NOOO!! its rated exactly where it should be. At the bottom.

Is it only South India then? Friends in Chennai were saying they cant play.
-
Lol is Ruzi here on time
Edit - guess not.
-
Well, seems like they've planned the south american launch ahead of the asian launch :/
Isnt it currently blocked in India? I think that was a retarded move by Niantic. Why kill the hype? Now since people cant play , when it officially launches who knows if it will be as big.
btw Nintendo never sold 100m consoles.
Look at the irony here,
I mean Gameboy,NES..etc which were over 100m. And maybe NES wasnt officially close to 100m but there were soooo many clones out there. Its probably over a billion or something. All am saying is the "reach" of the mario brand back then was huge. Whereeas now it is just limited to the 13m or so people owning Wii U.
And pointing out first party sales figures isnt really the greatest arguement , since PS4 and XB1 get waaaay more titles. The competition is much more fierce on those consoles , every year you have 10 or so Amazing 90+ meta titles. Nintedos first party offering is better than Sony and MS. But is it better than all 3rd parties? When you buy a WiiU all you buy it for is the Nintendo titles. There is hardly anything else TO buy. So ofc attachment rate of Ninty first party will be high.
why dont you add 3rd party games in that chart. See how much Witcher,GTA,MK X sold individually on PS4 or XB1. First party games arent the reason people buy PS4 or XB1.
-
Just one thing, mario kart 8 has sold over 7 million copies,not 5.
Lol am just using it an example. Point is would it actually sell 13m or something on PS4/XB1 to make up for the loss in revenue? And remember all WiiU games keep their $60 price tag throughout. Maybe ...or Maybe not.
But anyway its a hard decision for Nintendo thats for sure. I want to see how NX will turn out. The days of Gameboy and DS are long gone thanks to mobile phones
Also back on topic , I am finally starved for pokeballs now. I am lvl 19 and they dont give you too many per level now , so it looks like I gotta keep making more pokestops. Cant just keep catching crap pokemon , only the good ones :\
Also since the game is rolling out in many countries , I wonder if indian release is also soon.
-
If it's an handheld & console hybrid then it's a different case entirely
But manufacturing a system that sells 13m & selling software on it to turn profit
is a much less lucrative business than just selling software on other available hardware
For them owning a platform makes little to no sense as they hardly getting any third party royalty anyway
PSvita has sold 14m & sony has decided to call it a quits
The handheld situation with smart devices running around is not bright either
We all should expect nintendo to become third party.....I really can't understand what's the loss in that
as a gamer
Its really just about the numbers. Wii U has sold 13m units at a very high profit margin unlike PS4 and XB1. For example if Mario Kart sells right now 5m on Wii U.
But if they release Mario Kart on PS4/XB1 would it really sell THAT much more that it can over come the loss of revenue from
a ) Paying Royalties to Sony/MS
b ) Loss from no Console selling
With the console they are main players. More investors, more scope. They get money not only from consoles, each gen they make toys, amiibos kind of stuff and get loads of money there.
If ninty becomes just a third party developer its the worst thing that could happen to them. Look at sega where are they after becoming third party. They will lose all the investors. To keep the flow of money they will try their best with new strategies again and again. Its not like if Wii U failed they have absolutely no future at all. If they can come up with good strategy next time, they can still succeed.
Also they are not a niche market. They make good family oriented games, and that market is always huge.
BS .... All investors want Nintendo to make games on other platforms. They are trying hard to convince them otherwise , but Investors wan Ninty games on other platforms. Also what are you saying about Sega? The minute they went 3rd party they released some of their best selling games ever. Virtua Fighter 4,Sonic Heroes,PSO,Total War. The problem with Sega was the bet on the wrong horse (Xbox) , thanks to that dickhead Peter moore. If their top Franchises had gone to PS2 they would have not died.
And current Sega has other problems , such as pressure from investors to move to mobile and pachinko BS. Going 3rd party moved their Market cap to $4bn , they are the biggest 3rd party publisher after EA and Acti.
Sonic Dash has over 200m downloads and that was a year ago , way more relevant now than in Dreamcast Era despite releasing sh*t games( Sonic games were way better on Dreamcast). If Nintendo just keep milking the same 13m audience over and over again , their franchises will soon start losing relevance to new generation of gamers. Ones who are not growing up playing Handhelds and Nintendo consoles.
Our Generation fondly remembers Mario,Zelda,Pokemon...etc. but that was when Ninty was selling 100m consoles and Mario was on 40m of them. So we dont mind paying premium price to buy Wii U + Mario just because they are good games. But after a decade would a person who has never played a Mario game bother paying premium price for Nintendos system , even if is a really good game ?

I mean they can keep catering to their 10-15m Core audience , but what is their strategy for the long term? Dedicated hardware is super competitive market. If they are just going to remain a niche but Highly profitable competitor. Then yea , their IPs will slowly lose relevance in the mainstream.
-
Ank is right. Pokemon has never been more relevant than when it originally launched. And Guess what platform its on? OH THATS RIGHT NOT A FKING NINTENDO.
But its ok , let Ninty squander away all their money on making consoles. Then when they go bankrupt and die the 16 bit war will be over at last.
-
dimps was their best and logical choice at that time tbh. their previous 2d sonic games got good reception too.
Yea but they had so many fundamental flaws , Sonic Team did awesome job doing the 2D Levels in Sonic Generations.
-
looks amazing. too bad they cant call this sonic 4 cause sega already f**ked up that chance
By giving it to dimps of all people , this looks so fking good.
