Re: E3 2011
1.) Is the price of this 'different' kind of console going to be more expensive than what it should be for what it offers?
2.) Is this really the kind of 'different' that will making playing games better? Or will it just get in the way?
3.) Is this kind of 'different' even new? How have companies done in the past using the same technology?
4.) Can they make this work?
Simple questions like that. Based on Nintendo's job with the Wii, I think this is just a way to suck out more money from people. It doesn't offer anything new in terms of gaming that hasn't been done before. I didn't see any examples on how it would improve gaming... Just getting in the way. (Look at the zapper, for example.) I really don't want to play an FPS with a controller the size of an iPad.
I think Nintendo has done a good job in wrapping up existing technology and saying that they thought of it. On top of that, the consumer is the one that has to suffer from this gloating. I don't want a controller that is a tablet PC. I don't have the money. I don't want to buy all new things to play these games that are on a system I already have. Nothing is driving me to go out and buy the WiiU.
5.) What do they really offer?
I think nothing. Sorry.
