Not interested nintendo has to do some expensive things to make this work.

1. it has to have 1 tb or larger storage for games.

2. must not be running android dumbed down versions of popular games like the ouya and nvidia shield

3. must be 200.00 or less of people to be able to afford the console

4. must be hackable and with that nasty looking cart no thank you

Console looks awesome! Glad to see they are consolidating their handheld and console markets into 1 (or at least headed that direction)

- This will make it a breeze to play the newest titles on the go and at work

- Give Nintendo more time to develop for a single console providing a healthy stream of 1st party titles.

- less loading time with cartridges! Don't scratch or break as easily either!

- And it looks as a lot of Developers are on board for this one! Will definitely be pre-ordering!

So I guess this is Nintendo's concession to Sony and Microsoft; instead of offering a product that can compete head-to-head, they're offering something less powerful and going after mobile gamers that are more likely to play on their phone. Wish they'd abandon hardware and just license out their titles.
