@Muddy_4_Ever not to mention the mobile game market is successful because it exists on a multifunctional device lol. Phones are widely used for communication, and tablets are to distract the kids on car rides lol.
@Peteykins i love that he had to clarify they didn't raise the price of the console, as that speaks volumes that many people agree it's overpriced lol.
@NEStalgia i only listened to one of the podcasts Tommy appeared on ( it's famous because a lady breaks out crying saying she can finally play games with her mother again, as if she couldn't already). Throughout the podcast Tommy highly shows that he is still stuck in the marketing age of the Wii, so to give off WiiU vibes with the console is not surprising lol.
@Noid yeah that was their main sales pitch at the beginning to be a family friendly console that parents could leave their children alone without worry.
Been following this system through Pat the Nes Punk for awhile ( and I am aware of how much hate he and Ian get from the Amico community, and do warrent that some of the points like them not trying out the console after so many invites are valid).
That said personally I don't think it will succeed. Was originally looking forward to it as a niche console, but as described it is advertised as not competing against the major consoles, but it's price point says otherwise, and the quality of games look like what you can get from a phones mobile store.
If you aren't afraid of criticism I would suggest seeing Pat's video covering the E3 segment with an open mind. To all those looking forward I hope you feel you get your moneys worth.
