Traditional: Nes, SNES, N64, GameCube,

Unconventional: WII, WII U*

 

*I would actually place the WII U as a hybrid of a conventional and an unconventional home console.

Why do you think of the Wii U that way? It has a dual analog controller with a screen on it. That's really not much different from the PS4 which has a dual analog controller with a touchpad on it. Or is the PS4 unconventional too? If not, why?

It's just the image, the games which were being pushed early on and so on. To me anyways it's in a  middle stage were it's becoming more a traditional console but it still hasn't broken out of the unconventional console mold. That's my take.

 

So let's say that we agreed that the WII U is a conventional console. How does that lead us to trying to predict the future popularity of the NX?

10 years greatest game event!

bets: [peak year] [+], [1], [2], [3], [4]

At this point, that is what i'm expecting.

They will lose consumer trust and therefore early adopters will be less.

Unless, of course, they somehow find a way to regain that casual market.



NX doom confirmed.

Thanks for that . Unfortunately this thread is here to discuss the NX's future based on past data and not the PS5's future based on past data. Feel free to make a thread of your own though, I'll gladly chime in with my own on-topic opinion.

The games that were pushed early on were third party multiplatform games. It only dawned on Nintendo that they should announce their own games when they made their emergency Nintendo Direct in January 2013.

The Wii U wasn't the only console that you put in the wrong category. The NES was an unconventional console.

It's just that the game's they pushed during the early life cycle of the WII U had a more unconventional style to them. You didn't see them mass-advertising COD or any game that is considered truly conventional but they usually advertised third party games which made a lot of use of the gamepad and there own games such as NintendoLand which are far from conventional.

Now let's say that we also agree that the Nes was an unconventional console. How does that lead us to predicting the possible future popularity of the NX.

That would be quite an accomplishment.



snes, n64, and cube all felt the pressure of increased competition. wii u flopped cuz of a flawed hardware concept. you really can't extrapolate anything from that.
