what? what does star fox zero, a game developed by Platinum have anything to do with the nx?

and who told you nintendo prefers gimmicks over graphics? such bufoonery!

Who's to say Nintendo consoles can't be in the upper price range? If they change their hardware choices to include a blu-ray player, and have up to par graphics...that'd basically be a PS4. Nintendo used to have the more expensive console, it wasn't until other companies included other media apps and players that development costs increased, thus an increase in price. You can make a PS4 comparable system and sell it for $300 now. I'd pay 400 for a Nintendo console so long as it's modern.

I do agree that Nintendo makes most of its profit off software and a low price hardware brings down that barrier to entry, but it's possible to have a moderately priced console and sell a killer amount of software. The PS4 and GTAV as one example. People will pay for a good game console with good games. Nintendo's own fanbase as of now has dwindeld down because of their lack of the ability to be modern. The NX needs 3rd parties to survive successfully. It's been the downfall of every great company. If you don't have 3rd party support, which is directly related to how your console performs power/sales wise, your console is sunk. i.e. Dreamcast, Saturn, Atari5200 and 7800, Gamegear, Lynx, 32X, Jaguar, and now Wii U.

Nintendo can hit hard, and they have. But they could hit harder with hardware that caters to everyone, while maintaining a modest price which is what the PS4 is doing and why it's sold 40 Million over Wii U's 13 Million with a 1 year headstart. I understand how Nintendo has operated in the past but things change and if Nintendo isn't willing to adopt industry standards, they minds well pack up their hardware business.

We already know the CPU is going to be slightly better than the PS4 and XB1's CPUs, so who knows.

Alright.

But why are there that many more 3ds games compared to wii u games? Because 3ds games are alot easier to make (because the 3ds has inferior hardware it cant even handle high end graphics/much details and co).

Just imagine the differences in faces between Ps2 and Ps4. A face for a ps2 game was probl done in some hours but for an Ps4 game they are working days/weeks on all small details, textures and co.

Nintendo doesnt have THAT many and THAT big first party studios.

With weaker hardware they will be able to create MORE not AS good looking games.

More first party games + cheaper console priece = more sales.

3DS is the perfect proove. Sure the games didnt looked as good as on wii u but the system was cheaper and has more games. And it sold way better.

All in all im sure nintendo put MORE ressources in game development on Wii U as on 3ds. Just because they need 10x as many ressources to make a zelda wii then a triforce heroes the wii u had less games.

interesting source?

Nintendoi don't have to push everyone on of their games to look like  The Order 1886 tech demo's types, They could keep Mario Kart, Smash level and style of graphics whilst having the specs openly higher for third party or multiplats to push the graphical level of the system.

It's already happening! Zelda was delayed to be a launch title for NX in 2016 so by looking at that we know the NX was a 2016 holiday goal for launch. Then after the investors meeting they announced Zelda is moved to March 2017 ! With that info we can assume NX has been delayed to March from a original 2016 launch! Why is that important? Because if there making a weaker cheaper console they would and should have hit there 2016 goal as they stated in a previous investors meeting of NX contributing to profits in 2016. So I would assume there are some changes happening with a new president in charge. I thought it was going to be more powerful than ps4, but with this new delay I think they may be beefing it up a little bit more to counter the ps4k/xbox1.5 .
