"The rumor that Nintendo's next console, NX, may not be as powerful as the PlayStation 4 came out recently and while I don't like to dive into rumors, it got me thinking. Let's take a look into why Big N's newest piece of hardware cannot afford to be weaker than its competition in the PS4 and Xbox One."
The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).
Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.
Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.
Nintendo completed its share repurchase and set its secondary offering price at 8,347 yen ahead of March 16 delivery.
Nintendo filed a lawsuit in the United States Court of International Trade.
Nintendo of America is suing the United States government over the sweeping tariffs President Donald Trump put in place last year, according to a complaint filed Friday in the U.S. Court of International Trade and obtained by Aftermath.
The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.
Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.
LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.
That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.
It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.
A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.
People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers
Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.
I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.
The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷♂️
Probably for the sake of third-party support.
It'll be about the same spec in terms of performance.
You have to think about price/performance ratio.

You can't be asking for a beast, and then complain about price.
also, it's what you do with it that counts.
"power" isn't everything when you've got no games to show for it.
It's all about the games, isn't it? So what would be the response if this turns out to be the opposite? I mean, more powerful than the PS4. Will the Nintendo fans ask Nintendo to not focus on power and make it weaker because it's only about the games? Just excuses!
People who say that are missing the point of having a poweful console. Developers need power in order to improve their games and/or deliver their vision. Let's say Miyamoto has new ideas for a new ip and can't deliver it because of the lack of power? Either cancel the game or just make an outdated piece of shiet like Star fox looks so far. Isn't this also the reason the Wii U has no 3rd party support?
I'm sorry but this will be the beginning of their demise if NX is weaker than the competitors' console. Nintendo's problem is that they think they don't have competition or that they are all alone in this gaming world. Meanwhile, their fans see other games bigger, more promising, and with new stuff and feel like they've outgrown Nintendo and switch consoles. At least that's what I felt with the likes of Uncharted 2, Demon's Souls, Batman AS, and many more VS all the Wii showelware and couple of good games here and there I had.
Make NX stronger or on par with the competitors because all the games they showed at E3, which looked way better than anything you showed and would make the Wii U melt if ported to it, are gonna break your balls, Nintendo with or without NX.
I sure hope so. I don't want to see another under powered console from them. I want all three companies to be at their best and if Nintendo can put out a new, stronger console, it'll push the other two companies to improve their product as well.
I enjoy Nintendo's titles, but I'm not gonna buy a machine to just play their games. I can't justify the money or the shelf space.
I would think Nintendo need to really focus on the online and social side of things, MS and Sony have got their systems fully fleshed out with great features and apps. I really want Nintendo to do well, but they have to approach the situation in the right way, just power alone isn't going to cut it IMO.
I thought it wasn't a legit "console" and some new concept. Giving the trend in Japan lately, I'd bank on a weak hybrid console/handheld system. I can't see ot being more powerful than ps4. As for 3rd party support, Konami could be a big player, since after all, "mobile is [their] future."
