I hope the NX is a 10 year, mega powerful console, that is expensive.

Based on their philosophy and how they have functioned up until now, I doubt that is going to happen. Ninten hasn't really been about being the most powerful console on the market, except maybe the SNES and GC, but I don't think they're going to switch to a standard powerful console. That just isn't really how Ninten works. And a 100 dollar subscription for people to pay a year until it is paid in full sounds too farfetch'd to happen. I'm just going to say no.

The N64 was marketed as the worlds first 64bit gaming system and the "world's most powerful game machine".... There are more Nintendo home consoles with emphasis on graphics (SNES, N64, Gamecube), then there are which aren't (Wii, Wii U). I'd say the original NES is neither here nor there because it had no competition really lol

NES was marketed as state-of-the art tech.  It was light years beyond the older Atari and Colecovision systems.  Super Mario Bros, the killer app, played on that concept, taking the single-screen Mario Bros, and suddenly giving you the ability to scroll right.  It was like a giant new world opened up, like the boudaries of the screen were suddenly broken. And R.O.B. the robotic buddy was promoted as something sentient from the future.
