I just don't see it happening, Intellivision died long ago, so trying to bring back this name is not a good idea for selling a new product

Nintendo has the Hybrid thing and the Wii & Wii U as well as the 3DS, all three having a huge spread of capabilities covered, so what could a new, unestablished system possibly bring to the table without looking like they are just trying to ride on the coattails of a previous systems

you have Sony and Microsoft systems, they have the glorified, proprietary P.C. disguised as a gaming console covered, so again what can Intellivision bring to the table to possibly set them apart from yet another box on my entertainment center

bad timing, a REAL PlayStation rep says the PS 5 will not be seen before 2020 and Microsoft hasn't said anything yet, so both companies are watching, but probably already got what they are going to put into their new systems, and once Intellivision reveals anything, (openly or leaked), Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft will be working to add capabilities that will make Intellivision's new creation look like a copy-cat and boring system, they can't put out in 2019, or 2020 or even 2021, customers will already be poised to purchase the new already well established PS, XB & NSW-2, so again, if they wait till there is a chance for a market, their capabilities already belong to the other systems, no one will want

there's only so much room in the car...

Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, PlayStation, four systems holding their own in the pool already, very well established in both name and software/game support, the videogame entertainment market is NOT a clown car and can't support an assload of game systems, game producers will be hard to convince to spend extra money on licensing fees and proprietary format production for a FIFTH system that probably would die anyway, same with making exclusive new games, if it's probably going to die, why waste the time and money

Customer numbers, how simple can it get, a next gen PS & XB system is likely going to be backwards compatible with the previous systems, so a customer can feel safe upgrading to their new choice, Nintendo will probably have a next gen Switch or significant revision that will also be backwards compatible, so customers feel safe, but to add yet another system, it brings up extra cost and uncertainty, especially if it does not do well and gets a 3 year lifespan at best

setup and price - between $150-$180 with games estimated between $3-$8 and some opening titles being some way back retro ports, I'm looking at even with tv hookup and it's own screen (but still not able to be truly portable), this seems will be more like a glorified "Mini", (PSX, NES, SNES, ect.) and with all those around, and downloaded and streaming games and indie game makers so prevalent and already available to current system owners, it shows nothing that is interesting save for you can Bluetooth hookup your smartphone as an extra controller, but even then, I'm not going to go through all the time, money on system and games just because I can smartphone as a controller

hell there are dozens of 3rd party reproduction systems for Atari, Coleco, Intellivision, NES, ect. with hundreds of pre-installed games for $30-$50 online and at flea markets, (illegal or not) so why would anyone really want to spend 3-4 times that money on a system that's only going to make the same Indie/Nindie games you see here already

even if they did not try to resurrect the "Intellivision" name, everything else about trying to birth a new system unrelated to Nintendo, Sony & Xbox would still remain true

it may seem good on paper, but in a functioning real life customer and competitor battle arena, it will be the lamb...and lambs are meant to be slaughtered !!!

it's not a good idea, even if "former Nintendo employees" are involved
