| jason1637 said: Interesting. Thanks for posting this. The last part about the NX failing means that it could be Nintendos the last console is very scary. Hopefully, it can succeed. But how many units do you think the NX would need to sell for Nintendo to continue in the console business if it has like ps4 power? |
Yup, it certainly would look that way if the NX does worse than the Wii U for example.
Nintendo are kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place to be honest as they've proven that a console with Nintendo IP as the main USP can't sell and that even with third party support there is already the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on the market that are selling in healthy numbers with many people already having purchased the console for third party titles. Not to mention that many now already have their network service games and settings tied up in Xbox Live or PSN.
Nintendo are always able to surprise though, so no one should be saying the NX will fail or that they can't do anything at this point. If any company is able to bring something unique to the table then it's Nintendo. It's certainly going to be interesting to see how the NX reveal goes and how the launch goes as well. They certainly need the NX to succeed for the long term future of Nintendo.
