Because the new console is massively less powered than a PS4/XBone.
Nobody ever expected Nintendo to release a power console it's just not what they do. You buy a Nintendo (in general) because it is a different experience, not for graphics. I think the Switch will struggle too (but due to the $299) not the accessories and games being expensive. I just find it funny how folks online are always so down on them. Even if the switch fails, the 3ds will keep them going.
That looks fantastic. It's a shame that it's not a launch title.
Allegedly the GPU is more powerful than the Xbox One standard (less powerful than a PS4 standard). But it has slower and less RAM which will hurt it.
If the £280 price included a game, or the joy pad then half of the negativity surrounding the launch price would have disappeared.
It does include the joy cons?
The battery life is the same as the 3ds, the best selling hand help. I'm probably not getting it myself (till the holidays) but the reasons people are saying no is mystifying.
If they could release an updated Pokemon Bank that completely tidies up the movement of Pokes right back from the earliest games (GBA and Virtual Console) that would be a nice feather in the new console's cap for me.
I think I'll end up getting one. I enjoy even the limited library of games on the WiiU seemingly more than anyone in the world so if it's a similar story this time that won't be a problem. My main worry is as you say the indifferent (to put it mildly) launch state of the console, particularly when compared with what the XBox and PS4 can do now, will kill it on arrival and it'll be another poor seller from Nintendo.
I read between 2.5 and 6.5 hours, although that wasn't from the official statements etc. I've never had my 3DSxl die after 2.5 hours.
They probably had price subject to change disclaimers.
Such a surprise
Yeah the ones that clip onto the tablet and also clip together are mate. I'm talking about an actual physical controller that is similar in looks to the one with the Xbox. I'm old school and prefer something a bit less revolutionary
I will get one. There is no doubt about that. I was expecting to pay about £300 for the console, Zelda and a controller. The fact that I'm now going to have to shell out an extra £80-£100 is very annoying.
It is expensive. The Wiiu pro controller was expensive too, although it has 80 hours battery life, so kinda worth it.Yeah the ones that clip onto the tablet and also clip together are mate.

They probably will do, but announce it in the next few weeks.
Thats the group think you have to accept these days.
3DS sales aren't high enough to carry a company through two failed console launches (yeah, I'm calling this one DoA before it even lands). Even that Wii money will run out someday.
Actually it seems the disclaimers is you will not pay more then the pre order price, at least thats what it says on game and gamestop. Nintendo price is rrp. Retailers set the price.
Well, I mean they definitely could have made a few different decisions. I agree with their decision to merge the two console lines, but not much else.
That would make far too much sense for nintendo
Hopefully! I'll be switching(heh) my pre-order to something like that if it happens.
I think PS + is shite too to be fair, because as soon as you stop paying, you can't use the games so you effectively rent the games. Surely Nintendo can't limit it to a month? That would be dumb, even for Nintendo!
They already did that like three times. This will still sell more than 10million within a couple years IMO.
