Comment by: A5J4DX (Jun 06, 2012 00:01) only thing kind of up to standard is the HD but sony and microsoft will be on an other level nintendo has failed in the specs all they've done is try to match the ps3 but still failed, i ain't not nintendo hater, unbiased opinion

Comment by: deucezulu22 (Jun 06, 2012 04:40) Originally posted by A5J4DX: They are not trying to match anyone. These are good specs that are affordable unlike the PS3 at launch. The PS3 was ahead of XBox and look where that got them (I waited until the price hit $250) and now look at the Vita. Seriously if you want high end graphics then PC is where it's at. As long as consoles has fun software at it's disposal then they have nothing to worry about. |
Comment by: nonoitall (Jun 06, 2012 06:16) Originally posted by A5J4DX: As the first commenter pointed out, the "specs" above don't really reveal anything about the power of the machine. As such, there's really no unbiased way to compare its performance with that of competitors' machines yet.

This thing is coming out with specs that don't appear to be much better than Microsoft and sony, at about the same price, with fewer hd games available, and with a smaller user base. If someone want a cheap system they can already get it, and with better controllers.

Comment by: SProdigy (Jun 06, 2012 19:02) Their audience are the Nintendo fanboys (myself included) that want to play the latest and greatest of their franchises using the new widget.

Comment by: tongs007 (Jun 06, 2012 19:09) all i know is it will sell sell sell, its the new wii. they just have to get newer games, nintendo consoles always have/be family oriented |
Comment by: blueboy09 (Jun 06, 2012 23:01) Originally posted by gooodguy: Nintendo didn't want to have one since it's too easy to hack and modify these days, If it is, then it's a modified version of Blu-Ray, but highly unlikely since they want everything proprietary these days,

Comment by: deucezulu22 (Jun 07, 2012 00:00) Originally posted by KillerBug: Come on KillerBug read my statement again. I completely understand what he was saying. It's like what Reggie said about Nintendo, they don't want the specs to be to high where the average consumer cannot afford the system (prime example is the PS3) so of course the power of the systems won't be leaps and bounds over the PS3 and the Xbox 360. Their approach is to hit HD but to offer a different experience with the gamepad.

Comment by: mrp73 (Jun 07, 2012 04:32) I love how the article's title states that the specs are released and then the article itself say a lot of nothing. Did they have Chevy Chase do the press conference like this...
