There's no way that a portable WiiU is going to happen so soon imo: quite apart from the difficulty of shrinking all the parts to fit, how would they keep them cool enough at the same time? I really can't see Nintendo releasing that kind of difficult, bleeding-edge portable tech in a years time when they've said on many occassions that kind of thing is no longer their focus.

Sure I'd like to actually be able to play SNES, N64, Gamecube games, Wii games and Wii U games on the move on one unified console - that's what most long time Nintendo fans probably want - finally being able to play all these titles - again or if missed the first time. But that makes little sense for Nintendo. They make a lot of money out of selling both 3DS and home console titles. They're hardly going to cannibalise such a well selling system like the 3DS. Sure they'd need to develop less titles, but they'd also sell less probably. And less hardware which they also profit from. Special edition hardware. Selling smash bros for 3DS and Wii U. Giving away CD soundtracks and a special character for doing so. They're a toy company. How many DS/3DS incarnations exist, including special editions? It's ridiculous. It works well both for selling to kids and to men children like us that like to collect. Amiibo is that taken to the next level. I doubt very much they're going to streamline or go to a subscription model. Both are the antithesis of what they do.

It's about allowing users to build a library in their account. It's about users not abandoning you once next gen comes around. How many user jumped ship in the transition from Wii -->WiiU? That's one of the main reasons why consoles are shifting to OS frameworks come next gen. Nippon cited Android as a logical candidatefor the NX and they may be right.Dan wrote:I don't think they'd do VR, but was just an example of something new that's actually compelling.

Yes, I'm that cunt. Unless I'm mistaken, in which case, you're all cunts.
