You really are starting to sound like a broken record. I can see why Rol got pissed of and risked a ban.

What will having new hardware released early solve? That alone is not enough.

Nintendo needs to first have enough games in development for the next console launch window without delays to get the console of two a flying start, at least two years of dev time to have decent games and 10 games in the first 3 month window. They also need to get more studios to become sell sufficient covering all genres or to moneyhat developers for games. They need to get to a point were there is at least 3 good games coming out each month.

Without games the console is just gonna end up another Wii U with even more pissed of gamers who bought the console.


Nintendo can't support two distinct hardware platforms period any longer IMO. Those days are over and it was only kind of possible with the Wii-DS because they basically re-used the GameCube chip for a further 6 years and DS development was considerably smaller than 3DS development. 

Even then they really couldn't even support the Wii/DS in unison by generation's end. 

So this idea that they can support discreet PS4-level console + a PS3 level handheld ... is IMO a massive fantasy that's going to be a rude awakening for some when they actually see what NX is. But we'll see, that's just my take on it, people tend to lash out when you base a prediction on logic if the prediction is something they don't want to hear on an emotional level. 

Hiring additional studios I don't think is going to happen either. Studios are a huge cost/risk in the modern age, buying 2-3 studios isn't like how it used to be and Nintendo fiercly values their small company size, they feel it creates a certain culture, and honestly they might be right about that. Big, bloated companies tend to lose their identity. 


ok let me rephrase my statement to one line.

tell me what games will be ready to launch in 2016 with this hardware that will make millions of people rush in a mad rage to get one?

 

edit: i didn't even mention they need two sets of hardware. I just don't think they are ready in 2016 to launch something even if its the fuson without the games to sell it.
