My predictions:
1. The NES Classic will outsell it. 2. Sales figures and developer support will approximate the Wii U. 3. It will be nicknamed the Nintendo Ditch, for developers and gamers ditching it shortly after launch. |

So... it's what the Wii U should have been?

They should have stopped at Nintendo 64. It's been embarrassing ever since.

I need to see specs, pricing and details of backwards compatibility. Allow me to download Virtual Console purchases from my WiiU, cost around $300-$350 and announce Fire Emblem, Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros and I'll be tempted to pick it up. The video showed Skyrim playing so it's safe to figure that there is some decent power under the hood for once.

The amount of weird japanese stuff that nintendo has a choke hold on is kind of crazy too, not even just their 1st party stuff. I'd kill for a monster hunter game on anything but a 3ds at this point. |

I think Nintendo has their market sewn up. People keep wanting them to compete with Sony and Microsoft when they clearly have no desire to.

I've played every new generation of Nintendo consoles less than the previous one. Unfortunately, I won't be buying this one at all.

Hmm. Sounds like solid hardware, right?
Always was a fan of Nvidia. |

I'm not a console player, but it looks like silly gimmicky shit like all of Nintendo's past several consoles. That's cool though that they'll be able to play Skyrim on it, a game that's 5 years old now.

They should have stopped at Nintendo 64. It's been embarrassing ever since. Well, the Wii obviously bucked that trend at least in sales numbers, it was one of the top 5 selling consoles of all time. They're still living on the gold mind it created for them, not to mention the DS line(#2 of all time). I'll get flamed for this but, the WiiU is actually a solid system, the games in fact have had higher metacritic ratings than the top games on the other consoles. Issue is obviously Mario, Link and Donkey Kong and company doesn't appeal to the majority of gamers anymore, so it didn't matter how amazing the games were (and they are I have them). The idea for this console is to have the same 3rd party support (like Bethesda for instance) the other systems have, and give people the option to take the game with them on the go. Who knows if it's going to sell like the Wii, I hope it does, simply because I'm a lifetime fan of Nintendo and their games. here's an article I just read that has a positive outlook on the system, take it for what it's worth: https://mynintendonews.com/2016/10/24/dan-maher-says-nintendo-has-pretty-much-clinched-it-with-the-nintendo-switch/ All that being said I've never been a first adopter of any of their systems except the SNES (which was and still is the greatest console of all time  ).
If you wait long enough (usually a year) since gamecube, they'll knock down the price, usually have a special edition packaged with a game, plus more games for their systems are out then. So the WiiU and it's healthy library of good games will continue to give me good titles to play, especially since this massive, skyrim-sized new Zelda coming out next year will be on the WiiU. |

I believe people still want Mario. The issue with the WiiU is "what the hell is that? Is that a huge gameboy or something? Or is it some kind of mutant console? Whatever, I'll buy an Xbox". The Switch is a little different. They've gone to greater lengths to explain what it is. Still, I think it's an answer to a problem no one has. People would buy a new DS. People would buy a new Nintendo console. I don't think people will buy this. |

I'd buy the Switch before an Xbox or Playstation just because I like the Nintendo line up(Zelda) and I don't play games often enough to care too much which is awesomer. When ever I get a newer console, I'll probably nerd out on some of the older Zelda games in a fit of awesome nostalgia. Conveniently some of those games are available on Virtual Console.
The list of 3rd party support ought to help sales a bunch. I remember reading some reasons why the Wii U didn't sell well. One thought was consumers maybe thought it was an upgrade, not a whole new machine. |
