1tb hdd and greater graphical capabilities than the ps4 at $299...

You break your own first rule. Especially so for Nintendo. Anyway...


If porting is easy, yeah. They'll release plenty of 3rd party launch titles, sit and wait. Nintendo will have a strong 1 or 2 titles of their own, like a zelda with smaller titles to compliment it.

I'd say the NX has a good chance.

if that were the case how come we arent seeing Persona 5, Nier, ni no kuni, FF15, KH3, etc appear on Ninty consoles. turn based RPGS have been killing on PS platforms since Sony first came in. as for the other genres they see a lot of sucess on PS/xbox, at least on the online stores. To be fair its not like we even see alot of platformers not made by Nintendo on Ninty systems, why is that? 

Except COD had issues with DLC and the first AC game on Wii U was the horrid AC3 which not only was one of the weaker games in the series it also had perfomance issues on all platforms, again go read the earlier post before you waste my time the userbase on the platform aren't into yearly installments either. Come off the BS Bayonetta 2 is leagues above trying and the type of approach they should be taking, no publisher wanted to fund it and it's the best action title of this gen so don't give no crap about it not counting because I don't care what you consider trying.

The point is simple and if you still don't get it's not my problem and you can move on, why should Nintendo try when the third parties themselves are half assing it? Do you even realize what yopu and some others are saying they should do? You're effectively saying Nintendo should vouch for these wayward third party attempts, that's comical, they'd be far better off going the path of a shared library and second party deals.

Pretty much none of those games u listed are turn-based. But yes, JRPGs do well on Playstation platforms, I wasn't necessarily saying those games do better on Nintendo platforms, just that they do well on Nintendo platforms so if someone tries releasing a game for a Nintendo platform it makes much more sense to release a game in one of those listed genres instead of a Shooter for example.

Barely anybody in general is releasing platformers other that Nintendo, the western retail market has primarily become a shooter/open-world/sports/racing Sim market, u barely see any of the big western publishers release anything that doesn't fall in line with one of those genres.

I don't want to be that dick, but third party games in general tended to sell weak on The Nintendo Gamecube, Wii or Wii U unless they wheere exclusive (which didn't achieve all that great numbers either). But if a large number of people are going to own a NX as primairy system it might do better. Nintendo did not give a damn about third party for a bit to many generations to magically let it come back. The massive fails during the Wii U launch which had decent support of third parties the first year with Assassins Creed isn't forgotten.

Because games like Need for speed: most wanted u, Rayman legends, wonderful 101, lego city undercover, zombiu, and deus ex human revolution actually do try. Not all third party games half ass it. Some put legimate work in and they get burned by not recieving proper support by Nintendo. They all should have received the bayonetta 2 level of support, but they didn't and they all didn't do well. Then Nintendo wonders why they don't have third parties on board

But the indie market is full of 2d platformers and we have rayman, Unravel yookalee, Sony in general also tries to bring movies and games closer to eachother which I fully support. But yes each market produces a bit more games in one genre than the other, for instance Japanese studios are barely releasing games outside their comfort zone either if you ask me. Difference is Sony has both worlds, MS focuses on the Western world and Nintendo on the Eastern world. Problem is that Japan doesn't like home consoles and has shitty connections with many publishers like Squeenix, while a FFXV or a KHIII would do mirracles for NX. 

Need for Speed and Deus Ex were late ports, the WiiU version of Rayman was outsold only by the PS4 version and was roughly on par with the PS3 version sales-wise, Wonderful 101 is a niche game no matter how much you push it, while Lego and ZombiU sold  roughly 1 million.

Yes, of course there are exceptions but I'm talking about the types of games the platforms are primarily bought for, not many people are buying any console specifically to play indie titles although many will play the occasional indie title on a console they already own.

The objective of this ports is not bringing new consumers to the Nintendo console from the get go, it's proving that the Nintendo userbase can substain and support some kinds of genres. After proving that, you could bring newer games to the system from those genres, and that would bring new consumers to the console.
