I have high hopes for the NX. I think NIntendo are confident about what they have, more so than the wii u by a long way. My prediction is the handheld NX doubles up as a VR headset for the main NX console and both consoles work together to create good performance. I also think retail games will just be a security chip that enables the game to be downloaded. The main console will maybe take quite a few security chips where as the handheld only a few and can be freely swopped between each console plus purchased download content will be shared between both consoles on one account with cloud saves. Both will be x86 based.
Most importantly I think both NX consoles will release with a major game. Maybe a Mario game for the NX handheld and perhaps a VR Zelda U for the NX console or maybe Mario kart is in the equation. Anyway I feel that Nintendo has learned its lesson about selling shit hardware at inflated prices and their next home console will at least be competitive.
I've been negative about wii and wii u because quite frankly they were terrible consoles with a limited performance level compared to their competitors. This made it difficult to create amazing games that were competitive with Playstation and Xbox in many genres. I really think the NX will end this.
