I was wonderinf if NX is a steam machine with a wii U chip built in?

So Nintendo would keep suporting Wii U until the NX lifetime, so Zelda, metroid, and other promises would keep on wii U schedule.

They would integrate your NNID with your steam account, share credits, common(indie) library...

A gamepad included, that would stream steam machine games as well.

Imagine a place where you can play everything that there is on steam and on Wii U. Could be a solution for the nintendo situation for not having third party games on their systems.

Ok, but i can see the problems:

-Should be very expensive. Including a wii U and gamepad to the already high price of a steam machine would be prohibitive for a high penetration on the market. Even a gamepadless version for already wii U owners should be expensive.

-The partnership with Dena indicates other solution on the account system

-Steam machines are told not to be popular in any future, for what i read.

Then Steam wins the console wars immediately.

But it won't be, so they won't.

Nintendo would never do it. STEAM also wouldn't share their royalties with Nintendo I don't think.

The Wii U is far too much of a ugly mutated abomination for it to be reduced to a simple "chip".

then its a 800$ console that ll flop.

What if a frog had wings?

Nah, it takes more than Steam for Nintendo to win against Sony. Nintendo must find again a way to bring people who usually don't play videogames to their console in order to sell more consoles than Sony.

Honestly, I think Micro has higher chances of winning a console generation against Sony than Nintendo by the current look of things.

PC gamers like to play in their PCs and that is why I never saw the point of Steamboxes.

That sounds like it would flop.

Doesn't sound like it would work very well, if you ask me...

steam or stream?

because the first is even more ridiculous than the second
