They have smartphone monies now to pay all the bills and then some. That's the "something big has to change" thing.  

The NX just has to be nicely profitable but it doesn't have to carry Nintendo on its own. QoL, amiibo, media licensing (Mario CG movie?) will also spread the burden around. 

That said, more than a few third parties probably would support a Nintendo if they could get the 3DS size userbase without the PS2 level engine making so they could actually bring their more modern titles over. But wouldn't be the sales driver. 


Well heres hoping so, although your making it sound like other divisions will carry a console does not sound good long term, things that dont pull there weight eventually get cut off in business. 

I also feel they need to align there hardware with others, i think your right in saying developers dont want to have a seperate engine archtiecture just for Ninty ports. 


The industry doesn't need 3 consoles that do basically the same thing and it's never supported three successful consoles that do the same thing either. And no, 6 or 7 Nintendo franchises isn't enough of a differniator for most people ... Nintendo tried that with GameCube. 

Nintendo is gonna do their own thing, I don't think there's much choice in the matter anyway.
