Dat Price Tag Tho

[God Ginrai]

Let's make a handheld without screen, without keyboard or physical controls, without a SoC, without a battery, without a PCB and without any internal or external storage!

We can make it very slim and sexy!

It could even fit in your wallet!

And only for $19.99 !!!!1111eleventyone!11!

Available in a wide range of eye-catching colors, with a matte or glossy finish.

We will sell billions of them!!!

I don't know... $19.99 sounds too expensive for those specs... Maybe we should make it $10?

Still too expensive.  I suggest $0.99.  We have lots of $99cent stores here in the US and we can sell them in there.

 

[Exophase]

I think they should cost $0.01, so people can finally do something with their pennies.

ROFL all the trolls.

Doesn't translate well for exports though. For the lowest value coin existing here, I'd get around 15 of them. I don't need 15 :/

Well you did start it.

They should just cost whatever the lowest denomination coin is in your country.

Don't like it? Your fault for living in a country that doesn't have woefully outdated currencies that cost more to mint than they're worth.

 

[Fzero]

Do you call $0.01 a "penny" too?


I never knew that

If you mean that Wii U sold more total than XB1, yes, but it's been out much longer. XB1's launch was stronger than Wii U's, and the latter has really struggled since. http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/01/07/what-sonys-42-million-ps4s-sold-figure-actually-means

Do you really wholly trust ign when it comes to Nintendo?

The WiiU has sold 6 million units in 14 months, while the XBox One has sold 4 million units in 3 months: technically the WiiU has sold more, but it's pretty clear the XBox won't have much trouble catching up.

People doubt the 3ds and PS3. Things aren't set in stone.

The PS4, meanwhile, sold almost 10 million in the same 3 months.

Is this even true?

I would be out for blood if pyra does not have a keyboard and touch screen.


That's like Nintendo making a console with no game and a horrible controller, oh, wait.

You can rest assure then 'cause they didn't.


Enough of this tho. No need for thousand pages. :lol:

Not sure what you're getting at. What are you trying to say and what relevance does it have to the conversation?

Probably not. I was sure I'd read 10 million but now I can only find articles saying 5.4 million just before the Japanese launch a few days ago. Still, "not insignificantly more in substantially less or the same length of time" is what I was going for.

 Fair enough. Even at 15x the value of a penny, they're still pretty much scrap...

You mean, do I trust properly cited sales figures that you can find from other sources? Don't be such a fanboy.

Do you call $0.01 a "penny" too?

We do!

 

[theweirdn8]

Okay, you convinced me... I'll do a very cheap handheld for 20 EUR and call it... the nD!

Finally. 

ROFL.

I'm saying they both did well despite all this heavy doubt.

No, I mean I don't really trust ign.http://www.ign.com/articles/2011/10/22/the-playstation-vita-is-set-to-succeed

Yes? And? So because the 3DS and PS3 did well despite weak starts means that these present numbers are... fake?

Being wrong on a prediction (and that would be the opinion of one person, they're not a hivemind) doesn't mean that their reporting of present day data is unreliable. Don't be such a fanboy.

Why exactly do you guys still get trolled by theweirdn8 on a regular basis? Beats me...

He's not a bad guy, I wish him well with his game, I just think he's got some strange ideas.

I know I'm entertained.

See this why I didn't wanted to continue this. "Fanboy" is already being used, this is just going to go downhill.

You might not agree,but I just see more media sensationalism in general towards Nintendo.

Agree to disagree at this point.
