What facts do I have? LOL!

What facts do I not have.

For starters you should read Nintendo's investors briefings over the past 2 years. I won't repeat what you can read on your own. But to summarize, the NX isn't a home console or a handheld. It's a family of devices that share the same library. It will therefore have at least a 1st party library equivalent to their handheld line and home console lines combined.

Do you actually think that a console with such a huge library will perform like the DC just because you like to compare the U to a Saturn because it isn't being supported this year? So, do you now realize how foolish your OP sounds now? 

dont be so literal.

Another way of saying what I meant is the NX will be Nintendo's Waterloo. I kept it with a gaming reference.

My point is, the NX will fail commercially and it will force Nintendo to go 3rd party (where I believe they could have huge success)


Ergo,low sales but it can be a financial success so...

You have in your mind great sellers with huge losses/no profits/or low profits(I.E financial flops) rightly?Don't base it to the sales but profits!Even wii u is now profitable...

And it was the first ever Nintendo home console to make a loss in Nintendo's history,and the second generally,the first  hardware of making a loss was 3DS in 2011 after the mandatory price drop which alone wasn't economically harmful,Nintendo's stupidity of cost controling hurt them in 2011 and in 2012 with wii u,but both have been reversed...

Also recognise the advantage of selling your own software on your own hardware,you can understand what I'm implying,go third party it seems to be catastrophe & not a viable move,how some people can suggest it with such an ease,do you do a research to see if that is beneficial?Oh god!

Nintendo-Sega comparison is misguided,for God's sake,sega hadn't the huge cash and ip strength of Nintendo,which finally exploits it (Theme parks,movies,featuring of the iconic characters on mobile games and in general all the other moves of Nintendo's current expansion)Lets not forget the very succesful handheld consoles that Nintendo had/has/will have...

For instance,Nintendo is able of doing key minor moves to always save the game,amiibos are crazy sellers,although it hasn't caught the younger audience since they are being bought by  grown-ups in the overwhelming majority...Sega was damned,they rushed out and their only resort then was going third party,which you can see that hasn't really helped them,now they focus on mobile!

Lastly,mid stream of the competitors?Are you sure that xbox one won't be replaced in 2017-2018 given that isn't in a great shape unless we'll see a  huge turnaround,I mean of not getting on the whole slaughtered by ps4,which is not very probable and force sony to release ps5?(If nx releases in 2016 then yeah,it's somewhat mid stream!)

Something like 6th gen,do you remember?xbox 2001->xbox 360 2005,ps2 2001-> ps3 2006...
