How Nintendo should launch the NX (if its a home console).

1. MARKET THIS CONSOLE!!!

Definitely

2. Focus on core gamers!

I find this arguement rather foolish. I agree Nintendo need to make more core games but I consider games like Fifa, Call of Duty, Ass Creed, etc extremely casual and they all sell well still.

3. Try to hold out till 2017.

Agree, the next console should not be earlier than 2017, just keep making more Wii U games to help prepare them for even better hardware.

4. Don't make it too expensive!

I think the Wii U was pricey due to the inclusion of the tablet, so if they dont make it as gimmicky it shouldnt be as expensive. No matter what it is I just typically wait for a price drop or a sale.

5. Don't try to confuse the consumer.

Just dont call it Wii and everything 'should' be fine.

6. Use PC like hardware.

I think Nintendo did try with the Wii U but they still have the notion in the back of their minds that creating odd hardware means it will be harder to hack.

7. Offer backwards compatibility with the Wii U.

This is another concept that bugs me. Making it backwards compatible with the Wii U is a plus they should have update the virtual console more often and make it bigger. The problem with Nintendo is that in generations to come to play their old games on the virtual console will require the purchasing of Wii motes or gamepads and this will annoy people.

Other than that they should:

Try and bring back 3rd party devs (like what Microsoft is doing with timed exclusives or Sony with console exclusive content).

Launch with must have games.

Create more variety of games to targer other audiences.
