"I'm sorry but if this company was the first to come out with this you would be praising them to High Heavens"
I'm sorry, but no.
I would not.
And you're a jerk for putting words in my mouth like that, especially after all the times you've gone on advertisement sprees for Sony yourself, let alone all the times you've spun negative against Nintendo.
I've already stated my stance on VR, after having personally experienced it over two or so weeks of play time with my brother.
My opinion wouldn't change just because of Nintendo doing it, because it likely wouldn't be done that different even if Nintendo tried.
And at this point, the Switch is a higher priority; if they divert attention and resources into VR now, when they first need a console with a firm, profitable install base to sell any sort of VR gear off of, it would just be weakening the amount of effort the Switch would see being thrown into it.
It would be stupid to focus on VR when they don't even have a solidly selling system to attach it to yet.

VR is a fad.
I'm sorry if that offends you, but the majority of gamers don't want to wear a helmet or goggles just to play good console games.
At best, it's a stepping stone towards a better form of VR in the future, one which will incorporate synaptic feedback.
In its current form, it is not the "next phase" in gaming.

Yeah but it would need for the system to have a lot more power and the majority of the power is in the tablet, the base will only have a a bit extra to boost it for the TV. We also don't need to headset octopus sending wires every which way for every single system. Let's see where VR gen 1 goes first becasue right now there aren't even any major games for VR and the entry price is way to high for most consumers.

But the device is a portable which likely means all you would actually need is the actual handheld itself so I don't see them restricting where you could do that feature with a VR anyway.

I also don't know what you mean by "obviously" because there's several devices that actually use VR that are technically portable
