CRank: 5Score: 39180

First, reading the details of the reveal, then after seeing the hands-on, I'm really trying to figure out how Nintendo can pull it off. It's seems to be heavier then expected, the controllers aren't comfortable when separated & they're too small, look somewhat frail, and probably super easy to lose. Add to that the nasty high price to get peripherals (or replace them). I mean $50 for one and $80 for them small Joy-cons? The charging dock for them is $90, but luckily you ca...

This is like one notch lower than the "Always Online' idea. It's up to the fans to convince them otherwise like with Microsoft.

Just type in 'Nintendo allocation' into the N4G search; the answer to why they sold out so quickly isn't necessary because of HIGH demand.

Nope, at $300, the only way it's worth it is it has to also come with the Pro controller. Paid subscription will depend on how much improvement is made since Nintendo online service has always been lackluster. Then, there's the 2.5-6 hour range; if it was 4-6, it would be good, but that 2.5 minimum is going to backfire since it's very unlikely you will be able to switch to a bigger 3rd party battery. Also, the price on the peripherals are crazy high. Third-party support from the e...

It's a portable with some console factors; what makes it different from the Vita in its' ability to output to a TV is that the dock acts as a supercharger, giving it more power to make it closer to a console. If get a PS4, a DC/AC inverter for my car, and a small 6" screen, does that make my PS4 a console/portable hybrid? No, it's a console with added factors that make it somewhat portable. But, IMO, the dock is worth like $50 on its' own, so that make the portable portio...

The question is what comes with it at $250.

The butt? No, it's all about that spot where the thigh leaks at the edge of the stocking...that's where faeries are born!

No, people don't like paying $10 for something barely worth $5, and being treated to 'Always Online' DRM as a "Thank you for buying our product".

The way I see it is this is not a mediocre home console that can go portable; it's a powerful portable system that can be used as a home console. The Switch is really targeting the mobile gamers with hopes of scooping some home users in the process. I mean as a home console its 30-40% weaker than the Xone and PS4, but as a portable system, it's probably more than twice as powerful than the Vita. The key to good figures will definitely be the price point: If it's $250 like rumored,...

They lost me at residual payments; no one in the the life of gaming has said the sole reason I bought this game is because Nolan North is in it. Also, kinda hard to feel bad for people working four hour sessions when programmers and leader positions spend 10-14 hours working almost everyday.

SSD test proved the same point: Very minimal difference between SSD in PS4 vs. Pro

I used to be, but they dragged it out too long, and took too long for three.

Most people don't even know who their US senator/rep is, let alone their state senator/rep....but, hey, I'm involved with gov't & politics because I know how to write articles about two presidential candidates. Stick to games, N4G.

That's the reason why it won't be cheaper: You keep buying physical. The only reason PC has huge discount on digital is because physical has been pretty much left behind creating a lot less overhead cost for publishers. Until console ditch physical medium (can't happen until a global norm of having broadband and no data caps exist), then digital will never reach it's full potential in terms of financial savings.

Of course, as upscaling uses different filtering algorithms to stretch the images while trying to replicate the original image at the bigger resolution. Playing 1080 without upscaling is the equivalent to taking a picture and just stretching it out; it will end up being pixelated as hell.

So, $400 is a one-time fee to play 'remastered' PS4 games? Seem as this cycle will be known as the "Remastered Gen".

Looks nice, won't be able to play it until it gets the Quantum Break treatment, though.

Are you implying that violence and kidnapping outside of Mexico is not a huge gigantic deal?
