Why does Gamingbolt (specifically Rashid Sayed) always try to tear down Sony and it's products? Gamingbolt has to be one of the worst clickbait websites appearing (far too frequently) on N4G. Total garbage website with absolutely awful phony "journalists".
At $600 per unit, plus the requirement of a high end PC, I doubt they've sold very many units. Too many barriers prevent this from being a successful product.
Just pick up a PS4, then you won't have to worry about it. Problem solved.
A few stale bread crumbs for the masses, is all "My Nintendo" ended up being. Pitiful.
Because we're talking about consoles, not handhelds. Pay attention.
Exactly. It's just meaningless conjecture at this point.
Of course you are free to write whatever you want. But when you have nothing new/useful/unique to say about the NX, don't expect a lot of people to click your links.
Since Nintendo is unwilling to give any detailed information about the NX, there's really no point in speculating about where it fits in as far as console gaming hardware goes. Why write an article about this when there's no details to back it up? Slow day, nothing to write about? It would seem so.
They sure do, as long as you're fine with buying from a very shady seller.
If those are the factors that you cite to prove Nintendo's relevance, that's really a sad confirmation of what I said. Did you forget, their primary goal is to produce successful gaming hardware and software?
... and look how that turned out.
It's looking kind of bleak for Nintendo these days. They need to do something quickly, or risk becoming even more irrelevant.
It's Nintendo's own fault that the NX is getting such poor press these days. They have very little confidence in the system, and have been afraid to even reveal it's specs and capabilities. I think they understand that as soon as they give actual details, they'll be torn to shreds on the Internet. Can't blame them after their many recent failures, especially the Wii U, which bombed hard.
@ Garethvk - Sadly Nintendo has become irrelevant to most of the gaming community these days. The golden years are long gone, and have been for well over a decade. And they're afraid to even talk about the NX, showing a huge lack of confidence in the system.
Their "loyal fanbase" has shrunk to a very low level, after many years of disappointing consoles and games. Nintendo is not going to succeed with the same old tired gimmicks and substandard hardware anymore, if they can't come up with solid products anymore, they should just exit the hardware business and go software only.
It's really not that complicated. Nintendo has been afraid to reveal the NX because they're not confident that it will succeed. After the failure of the Wii U (and yes, despite the desperate excuses by diehard fans it did indeed fail), they are in a dire situation. If they can't release a genuinely solid, well-designed, feature-rich console this time, without some silly poorly thought out gimmicks dragging it down, this will be their last piece of gaming hardware ever released.

Wow the Wii U Virtual Console emulation is terrible. Dull colors, fuzzy graphics, muffled sound, and a squashed aspect ratio. I'd be pretty angry if I paid for any VC games and got that trash, really embarrassing that Nintendo couldn't do a better job on the VC emulation.
The real issue? "Scorpio" doesn't even exist yet, it's nothing more than a fantasy that was announced to try to minimize the success of the PS4 Pro. It's pointless to write articles about it as if it were a real thing.
"Nintendo has the first party titles to make you buy a console even with an hour's notice lol"
No, they really don't. Those days are long gone.
Unfortunately for Nintendo, the Wii did a huge amount of damage to their reputation. While it sold like wildfire in the beginning (mainly to casuals and a small group of diehard fans), the Wii died years before its competition in the gaming industry (360 and PS3). People ultimately realized that the waggle gimmick didn't improve games, it made them worse. Like the Wii U after it, the Wii was built around an unappealing gimmick that ultimately failed to deliver solid gaming experiences. ...
