Do you think Nintendo NX will be successful?

[Einhander]

a diskless optical drive?
look up storage mediums.
it's likely to be a solid state area (or high capacity cartridge/sm) the wii has 256m, wiiu 32g flash nand.
probably use hardisks too, maybe an existing bus like sata or usb?! 

I'm wagering more on Wiggy's opinion though. It would be nice to have a first ever dedicated Nintendo IOS gaming device.

  er, yeah?!
your option, and it's not relevant to my point.
to elaborate:
if the console DOESN'T use optical medias (or other) that can't be removed, it's therefore a flash area, fixed storage.
the same applies to many (if not all) ios devices, namely apple with their locked up to FUCK tech, with no sockets to plug cards in...
just making that clear.
use correct terminology please.  (or at least clarify.)

i was hoping it would have a cartridge system or something since it has no optical drive..it seems that wont be the case..im not gonna like the idea of this being digital only and it seems thats how it will be which is really gonna bother me im a big fan of physical copies of games and i feel once all major console producers go this route we might have another video game market crash..or..i honestly hope we do so that the generation after that will contain physical media again i choose to not guess at what the nx is anymore my guess was always some sort of hybrid even before that was talked about like maybe the device COMES WITH something that can go with you when you leave your house and something u can dock.. i dont know tho i just hope it has SOME FORM of physical media

No physical media = no buy.

You guys got to realize that there is no physical media for phone games, as far as I know. So if Nintendo comes out with the most awesome IOS-Android gaming device, no buy? The device itself is physical and I'm sure on this forum people can print out artwork

It's not the artwork, but that I don't trust games that can be pulled from playing whenever some idiot big boss desides so.

BTW: I still don't have smartphone.

No physical media = no buy for me as well.

I'm well aware that the industry is heading that way, but it doesn't matter.  When we finally get there, I'll be done.  Even if I never bought another new video game ever again, I have enough in my collection to keep be busy for the rest of my life.

A thousand times this. All parts of this post.

Is that what it's about? What if some games are free? Do you play any free games on IOS? What if the games were extremely cheap or if they made a law where you can officially own them?

Hahahhahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahaha.  oh, that cheered me up.....oh wait...was that a serious statement?

I don't play any games on IOS because after two LONG years of dealing with IOS issues, I got as far away from Apples products as I possibly could.

Though I've said it many times before, I'll say again, just like many of you, no physical media = I won't buy.

I've purchased a large number of $1-3 apps on my phone. If they put out awesome games that clock in under $5, then I'll consider it, but I have little interest in what amounts to leasing a game with no guarantee that I'll even be able to play it tomorrow, let alone a year from now when some server gets shut down, or an update breaks the game and the dev isn't supporting it anymore, or whatever. It's bullshit.

Okay, but how often does that happen in reality? Has a game on PSN or Xbox Live ever got taken away from somebody unless they were banned? Why would they just take it away from you if they know it might make you mad? You're the customer.
