Griss said: It's not that the camera 'bothers' me, so to speak, but the gain is so little for the added expense and more importantly added bezel size.



Making Miis using the camera is such a minor feature, and not one that works particularly well. Where else has the camera on the Wii U been used to great effect? What percentage of people do you think ever once made a videocall using their Wii U? One percent? A tenth of one percent?



The NX won't be about social apps. Everything a phone can do better should be left to a phone. The NX cannot compete with phones when it comes to apps. It should focus entirely on being the best game system it can be. Even then, why is a camera crucial for social apps? Click to expand...

ASIS said: It did sound a little fantastical from the beginning. Kind of like the holographic projector hidden behind the lid on the Wii but on a much smaller scale and not nearly as crazy, but fantastical nonetheless. Click to expand...

It's not so much about what you or me think it might be used a lot for. It's about the risk of not including it compared to what it actually costs. It was cool enough to see the person with the gamepad his face floating around in Nano Assault. It could very well be used in the next Animal Crossing to make your own facewrap on your vilager or to create fabric patterns... but if there is one big app, let's say like Minecraft, that starts using it, and you don't have a camera because you wanted to save 30 cents on a 249 device, i think Nintendo would be kicking itself.It depends on what you 're expecting. Them reducing the clock speed in handheld mode on a lower resolution (720p screen), to conserve battery, and then clocking the GPU to its "normal" frequency when docked to the TV, would very much be a logical thing to do. My first laptop did this; back in 2001. It was called speedstep. My phone does this too.
