There's no way that's real. That's the ugliest thing I've ever seen.

I think this is a serious possibility. I think it will only become a real industry revolution like 3D gaming was if it gets overwhelming industry-wide adoption and inclusion of it with future hardware, as opposed to it being an "add on". A little like we saw with the Kinect from an add on for xbox 360 vs part of the experience with the xbox One, except hopefully VR will be a little more well received
. IMO it all hangs on how much it takes off as an "add on" in the next 2 years. PS4 and Xbox One will be 5 years old by then, and assuming a console lifecycle of 8 years, plans for the next generation will be being nailed down. One would expect they'll be looking at aspects of the current generation that they can take forward - I assume like Microsoft did with Kinect - and if VR is doing well it would make sense for them to make a drive for it to be included on release with the next gen.
:edit: I realise this sort of off topic in the NX thread but meh. Certainly beats trying to work out what on earth "non-wearables" means.

FYI, for those wondering about the controller rumours (I can't stand these annoying unconfirmed rumours), the image shown on the controller is actually from the Unreal Engine 4 demo the other day. Thus it's been confirmed to be a fake. Take it from me, it's best to ignore NX rumours right now (pretty much all of them are clickbait nonsense conjured up for views) and wait till E3 for solid official news.

I'm pretty much hovering my mouse cursor over purchasing the "New" 3DS XL as i have the original and would prefer the larger one.
Would this be a bad idea right now?

Do you even non-wearable!?!?
Just get a 3DS XL unless you want the extra games IMO. Have I already said this before?
New images have leaked of the rumoured NX...this time in Black.

Hopefully again...a fake haha!

It's an extremely well done fake if it's not real.

Nintendo has always been about innovation and developing their own hardware helps facilitate this which I for one welcome. Looking at their financials, around 60% of Nintendo's profits are from Hardware also. I'd say keep on making hardware.

How many Wii U's did they have to sell before seeing profit on it as a project?

David Gibson, Nintendo reported having to manufacture new units in May 2014. He also explicitly stated that at that point, Nintendo was not taking a loss from each unit sold anymore. When released the Nintendo had to sell a game along with the console to turn a profit.
