What do you think is more important for Nintendo NX to have, powerful hardware or great first year lineup?

I don't like that question. Those things are not equal and also not mutually exclusive. But you ask that question if they were.

That said, it's obviously powerful hardware. To quote a wise man: "A powerful console will eventually get software, a bad console will forever be bad".

Gamecube was more powerful than the PS2.

So? You do know that having a powerful console is just one ingredient. You also have to be a competent console manufacturer that gives 3rd parties a proper environment and incentive to leverage that power. That's why Sega, Nintendo and Microsoft fail when they try to do it and why Sony doesn't.

It's not like the Gamecube failed because it was too powerful. It failed because a certain company behind it didn't know how to leverage it.
