I think we all remember the thread's about wiiu gpu, and the crazy predictions, of some of the nintendo tech head's prediction's about wiiu gpu, thinking it's 600-900 gflops, when in reality, it was like 176 gflops, samething kinda happened with the wii. so wiiu owner's would you do it again, buy the next nintendo console with out knowing if its future proof in terms of hardware, because nintendo is too embarrassed to show off the specs.

 

[Toki767]

Yes depending on the games.

 

[KHlover]

Yes

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

I don't care about specs, so yes.

 

[hwy_61]

Taking the wait and see approach. Definitely not buying one at launch.

 

[Ouren]

yea i dont need to know specs as a consumer
it doesnt matter
it'll run the nintendo games

 

[WhoaIsThatMars]

One could argue that Wii U was...one giant...flop

Spoiler

I don't care about specs

 

[Pinky]

Games > Specs

 

[Tambini]

Specs are towards the bottom of the priority list when it comes to Nintendo for me so yes, however I don't think I'll get one at launch unless there is some real good titles

 

[Drilbit777]

As long as it has great games waiting ahead of it then I could care less

 

[StrongBlackVine]

You can't play Nintendo games any where else so does it even matter?

 

[Riki]

Give me good games and I don't care after that.
People get too held up by numbers.

 

[SplitYourInfinities]

I don't care as long as i can play Nintendo games.

 

[OnPoint]

At this point I would never expect a Nintendo console/system to be at parity with the other contemporary offerings.

So yes.

 

[Megatron]

I will buy it if they dont hide new Metroids and 3d marios from it.

 

[LewieP]

Is it still the box I need to buy to play Nintendo games?

If so, yes.

 

[Chû Totoro]

YES. I play games not specs and they won't hide their games.

Maybe there should be a big NX speculation thread because it's like random surveys popping everywhere.

 

[Gamer79]

No because I want to see if it will warrant a purchase over my ps4. I'm not really that into nintendo games any more. I want to know if it can play all the third party games.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Yes? I buy systems for the games. In the end, that is what matters to me.

 

[EloquentM]

Ninjablade, I wonder if you actually even play any games let alone Nintendo games.

 

[Jakoo]

It would tough to be a Nintendo fan that really cares about specs at this stage, so I can't imagine caring now.

 

[badblue]

Specs are not really relevant, games are. Show me games that make me want to buy an NX and I will probably buy one.

 

[CrisKre]

I have no knowledge on tech so if the games nice and seem fun I will 100% get it. So probably yes.

 

[Kikorin]

I don't care, if I like games I'll buy it

 

[LegendofLex]

Specs don't influence my sales decisions, and I never choose Nintendo consoles for multiplatform games based on relative hardware performance either - only for gameplay and UX improvements.

 

[outunderthestars]

When was the last time anyone cared about the specs of Nintendo hardware?

 

[LegalEagleMike]

As long as they put out a steady stream of worthwhile games I will buy it.

 

[Randam]

I remember thinking about buying a wiiu if it would get battlefield 4 in 1080p and 60 fps.

 

[RichiRamjag]

Not without an abundance of Nintendo games. Wii U launch titles simply will not cut it. Thing needs to be competitive with the third party stuff if not better.

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

What a stupid reason to not buy a console. I mean seriously.

 

[animax]

I will buy it if they dont hide new Metroids and 3d marios from it.

This

 

[Garcia el Gringo]

I'd be frustrated because I want Nintendo to get competitive with console power again, but it's never a question if I'm going to buy Nintendo hardware. I want to play their games, especially mainline ones, regardless of the flops.

 

[Devilgunman]

Never give a shit about specs. If it's cheap, have great games then I'll buy it.

 

[wild wild rice]

I play games, not specs.

Edit: Oh, a ninjablade thread. Don't waste your time, folks.

 

[Mory Dunz]

I'm confused.

Couldn't you like wait a week or two when people get the system, and see how the games look and perform? Wouldn't give you enough of an answer?

 

[EdgeXL]

Yes. I want to play Nintendo's games. I don't care about specs. If I did I'd only play on PC.

 

[jax]

Duh

 

[DownGrader]

I won't play gflops, I play games, and I will buy a NX the moment it'll got games of my interest.

 

[DOT DASH DOT]

No, not this time! Just being Nintendo isn't good enough for me anymore. I'm pretty sure games looking like shit and with virtually no decent online infrastructure isn't gonna wash again. Nintendo need to wake up and get competitive again.

 

[antone]

Stats don't mean if a system is fun or not.

 

[mrmickfran]

I'm not a developer, why would I give a shit?

 

[Trago]

If specs are that much of a concern, then consider getting a PC. This console is likely going to be affordable. The games at launch/launch window will matter more.

 

[big_erk]

Specs don't mean a thing as long as the games look and play great. I'll buy it anyways since I am a slave to Nintendo. While the Wii U was not everything it should have been Nintendo has never completely let me down.

 

[Chastten]

Last electronic device I bought at launch was a DS. Since then I've always waited a bit and NX will be no exception. Got plenty of games to play while they sort out the kinks and bugs and get some more games out.

Buying a console at launch just to have it is silly imo.

 

[lord_of_flood]

Looks at thread - oh, it's a ninjablade thread.

Anyway, if it plays Nintendo games, then there's a pretty good chance I'll buy it. End of story.

 

[rubius01]

Yes, because the amount of fun I have with a game is independent of the specs the box is run on.

 

[alf717]

Stats don't mean if a system is fun or not.

Sadly a lot of people don't see it that way. Its all about the P's and that frame rate these days.

 

[DJwest]

Taking the wait and see approach. Definitely not buying one at launch.

Agreed. I need to see the games coming first. And hopefully the NX is at the very least slightly more powerful than the PS4

 

[Malcolm9]

I won't be buying it unless it's on par or better than the current consoles.

Don't get me wrong it's the games that matter, but if it is underpowered then third parties will avoid it like the plague and it will just be an exclusive only machine, something that didn't do the Wii U a lot of good.

 

[Kyoufu]

When was the last time anyone cared about the specs of Nintendo hardware?

Might want to ask that question to developers.
