Bolded: You concluded your OP by saying that new experiences will be obvious on the X1/PS4, even though all those consoles are going to have at first are 360/PS3 games in HD.

But that is their way. So for them showing prettier new graphics is the way they can instantly demonstrate that its a new console with new experiences. Plus, its not just their graphical increase... but both of them have multiple new IPs coming along as well.
Nintendo only had ZombiU. A game that is not visually "next-gen" by major standards and who's gameplay is not easily transmitted through a commercial. Then if you do play it, you either love the style or hate it. Everything else existed in pretty much the same way, last gen.
I think Nintendo needs to do it with major changes to their IPs, through the gamepad, and/or massive graphical upgrade. It has to be quickly noticeable via a commercial that its new.

You've been here long enough to remember the 360's and PS3's first year struggles. Two consoles with graphical increase and multiple new IPs. It didn't work back then, it's not going to work now. It took the PS2 pipeline of games to dry up and price cuts to get things moving.
The Gamepad is new, it's just that it is lame and expensive. That's a dangerous combination. Nintendo could have easily succeeded in the eighth generation by making gaming affordable, but that's not the route they chose.

Rol, do you think there´s a risk that Mario 3D World will end up performing worse than Nintendo expects (it´s true that I don´t know what their expectations are, but they´re sure hoping it´ll move a lot of systems)?...or to put it differently, do you see it as a game that neither 3D Mario fans nor 2D Mario fans asked for?
