You're absolutely delusional. People have to stop thinking there is a magical demographic of people wanting so bad to play Nintendo games, yet they didn't buy a WiiU cause they had a PS3/4 or a 360/one.
People who loves Nintendo games, they bought a WiiU, or they are happy with a 3ds and all its amazing nintendo games. That's it, there is nothing more than that to look for. Those guys who tell you "O my i regret the Nintendo of the 90's". They don't really like Nintendo games. They are just nostalgic of en era where Nintendo consoles were the leader. Essentially, the guys who played on snes, and followed Squaresoft with Sony. That's the demographics you're looking at there, and it's gone.
Nintendo can expand by:
_Growing even more as the Japanese gaming lover unique alternative. But Sony won't let that happen so easily.
_Finding an other blue ocean (or reviving it)
_(and that's the real thing they should do, long term wise) Developing games that can relate to gamers not interested in their actual offer (versus endlessly milking the same fan crowd).
Whatever the NX ends to be, they have to know that if they want to succeed.

Oh dear, the ninjas are unshitting their katanas as we speak!
not my joke, I just thought it too good to be locked in one thread. Although I think Benny got it wrong by accident...

It really wouldn't be hard. The Jaguar CPU cores were lackluster from day one and AMD is several generations of GPU efficiency away from the cores in the PS4 and XB1.
Unless they purposely shot low in order to come in under some retail price constraint (they want to be at $249 or $199 from day one), they could very easily outperform both current consoles at $350.

So, that's where they hide them to get past security lol
Nintendo ninjas have to find new ways of pleasing themselves since there is no Wii U software support to keep them busy.
Don't judge.
....Not quite sure how to respond to that lol.
10k comin into the NX thread like
"I have come to enlighten you all"
You're forgetting about the $200 donut controller.

Wait, really? Someone at Nintendo monitors these threads? How can I get that job?
In all seriousness, small leaks could actually push Nintendo to make an announcement since it'd show that the news will come with or without them, so maybe it's a good thing.for me
I remember that during E3 , there were Nintendo people on "Neogaf duty".

I am legit excited
Did I understand correctly though that he hinted his sources changed his mind about specs, or did I misinterpret that?
There are different kind of nintendo fans though.
I have friends who are zelda fans, but didn't buy a wiiu. A lot of nintendo fans are pokemon fans, they don't have a reason to get a wiiu. Or fire emblem fans, or animal crossing fans, or metroid fans... wiiu never reached it's full potential for a variety of reasons ranging from price to lack of key franchises to third party and confusing marketing

Mind. Blown. Had no idea this was a thing.
Why wouldn't they want all the wisdom?! /s

Yes, really.
It is about value not price. Wii could have been sold for a $100 more and sold just as well. GCN got to $99 very quickly but it did nothing for their sales.
If it is under $250, it's going to be a weak box that better have an amazing gimmick or it will die faster than the Wii U.
You don't burn your core audience only to release something not much different.

It needs to be a desirable piece of hardware or it will face the same fate as Wii U.
Edit: or what bachikarn said. Don't put a pricetag on it before we know what it really is. Nintendo could do perfectly fine with a $300 console, if they get their ducks in a row.
No no they'll do the reasonable thing and make the classic controller pro the standard controller.....right?

Yeah, we'll see how much money they managed to cram into the controller this time.
Are her tweets being publicly tweeted anywhere? If not, can I humbly request a rundown of recent notable ones in here?
Would be nice to not cut my sentence in half and add a period at the end lol..

Heh, well I know I show up for doses of wisdom... Teach me Gaf for I am feeble!!
I thought for $250 it could be XBO power levels, or is that unrealistic? Providing we had a standard controller, I suppose, which I realize may be a long shot.
It has never happened
- Wii came out with the 360
- Wii U was more powerful than PS3 and 360
Does she differentiate clearly between the two? If not, easy to see how people get confused.

That makes sense. Actually, there was recently a job posting (that I was considering applying to) that I imagine probably includes some NeoGAF browsing to gauge how people are responding to their announcements and the announcements of their competitors.
Recently, I figure that that Zelda rumor thread has been monitored and the reactions in there might influence the language they use when they formally show off the game and whatever features it has.
She shouldn't have to. Honestly, that's why I don't tease or leak anything I hear because once you get labeled as an "insider" everything you say is put under a microscope.

I made a little spoof video in conjunction with that fact we are now only two weeks away from Nintendo's Fiscal Year Earnings Release/News conference/Briefing on April 27/28!

Wii came out with the ps3. 360 was a year before that.
At $350 yes I believe it's not a problem if they wanted, but the post I was responding to was saying $350 is too expensive. I don't know that it can be done at $299. Assuming no expensive gimmick of course.

I think it's fairly clear, and when it's maybe not, she tends to clarify. For example, she stated that the recent tweets were an opinion. I think typically anything she heard is clearly labeled or easily inferred and then people assume everything else is something she heard, too.
The xbo cost comes from the fact that there is a large apu, and it is large because of the esram. They needed that because of their poor choice of ram. So, yes Nintendo could make a cheaper version, same power even if on 28nm.
I just wouldn't expect some magical $199-250 powerhouse. The era of rapid power increases and ever cheaper components has slowed greatly.
"More powerful".
I'm hoping for the voice acting to be like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WckCw_-7e3M

10K if you come through with some non-news ima shoot you! Cause yung metro def dont trust you!
Assuming it doesn't use Discs, but Carts, it might. No Disc Drive, no need for a massive hard drive to install games on. Also results in a smaller form factor.
There was also that patent of game updates/DLC being stored on the carts themselves.
Xbox 360 - Nov 2005
Wii - Nov 2006
Also, I wouldn't say Wii U was more powerful than 360 or PS3.
What I'm expecting 10k's info to be:
'[Dev company X] has received a dev kit, and they've confirmed that it IS more powerful than the Wii U, and may or may not be more powerful than the PS4. Also, Nintendo have confirmed that OTHER dev houses do, in fact, have dev kits. And the console IS slated for release at some stage within the next two years. And there IS a gimmick/hook to the thing, but they can't say what it is.'
Seriously, don't get too excited. For his sake.

Unsure if GH already replied to you as I'm on mobile and can't easily search, but I think he meant his post in the context of his theory that the HH and controller for the console may be one and the same, if I'm remembering correctly, i.e. a hybrid console.
I respectfully have to disagree. Once you publicly position yourself as an insider and a source, the expectation becomes that your words will be taken as fact unless presented otherwise, so the onus is on your to say "I think" before your thoughts to delineate them as such. If Deep Throat said "Nixon eats raw chicken," people would have taken this as fact given that he was in a position to know and was a credible source. If he said "I think Nixon eats raw chicken," people would know not to take it as fact. I understand this is a potentially annoying extra hurdle to deal with when you make yourself publicly known as someone who Knows Stuff, but it comes with the territory. Otherwise, it becomes too difficult to know whether what is being stated by a proven insider is or isn't opinion or fact.

I think $350 is about the max they could go for a new console release if the lineup and hardware are strong. Customers have to feel like they are getting a lot of value at that price, though. If the initial reveal isn't well received then it may be a huge problem.
Sorry dude, editing text on my tablet sucks. It was a reply to the first full sentence.
