I'm surprised you haven't made any Zootopia DMCA jokes yet Brandogg.

Girls, Girls you're both fabulous,You know goddamn well that isn't what I meant. You quoted one line in that entire post, cutting out the surrounding content that put it into context. Get the **** out of here with your straw man bullshit.Your consumer-focused mentality is understandable, just obscenely unreasonable.Why is it unreasonable to expect that if company B wants to compete with company A they have to at the very least match company A's product?
It is unreasonable to expect and demand powerful hardware without accepting the responsibility of having to pay a premium for said hardware.QuoteNintendo should at the very least offer a PS4 comparable product at the same price point.Jebus, man... Emily Rogers' sources put NX right between PS4 and Xbox One which is exactly what you're stating here. I merely added that Nintendo really should not try to market a $400 console. $300 is the bar (if Rogers' sources are correct, $300 is probably NX's MSRP), and that's pushing it because PS4 will likely be $300 or less by the time NX launches. Do you really want to see how ugly it will get if Nintendo launches $100 or more above the competition mid-generation?
You're the one making these assumptions about Nintendo charging $100 more. If the PS4 if $300 by the time the NX launches then why can't Nintendo make something on par with that and charge the same price? And if the NX is $300 and so is the PS4 and the NX is LESS powerful despite costing the exact same price how is that going to go over? The console comes out years later and sells for the same price point but can't match up? Why would you assume that consumers would give Nintendo slack if on DAY ONE they're already busting out excuses and compromises like they've been doing for the last 20 years?
Assume no one gives a **** about Nintendo at best and are openly hostile towards them at worst because that's not far off. How does Nintendo win these people over with an okayish effort with lots of "please understand"s? They have to make a strong first impression so there can be no intentional compromises or "eh, that's good enough" attitude. Nintendo never goes all in, always has some little compromises and cut corners, and seems to expect that people will cut them slack. You need leverage to get people to cut you slack and Nintendo coming off a dud console has none. We got all the same little excuses and compromises on the Cube as well and the N64 was a much more successful console than the Wii U and no one cut them slack or put up with their nonsense then. A big chunk of the userbase had written them off and Nintendo made no real effort to try to win them back. They wheeled out a new console that was pretty good but not great and it didn't catch on.
So if you don't care about Nintendo, or maybe outright dislike them, is a new console that is not quite able to match the competing consoles that came out years before going to win you over? Are you going to feel that Nintendo has changed and is not going to continue to do all the annoying things that probably turned you off of them in the first place or are you going to think "they're slacking on the hardware again" and ignore them? When Nintendo is criticized for going with underpowered hardware how they go out and do exactly that again and expect that to go over well? If it's XB1 level then at least it isn't a gen behind but it's still playing into the hands of their critics.
NNNNNOOOOOOO!No NINTENDO!
Don't do a Rovio Entertainment!
Given the box office take of The Angry Birds Movie, I think they kinda want to do a Rovio.
NOOOOOOO!!!!I hope it's a Disaster Day of Crisis adaptation!
With James Jones writing the screenplay.
