You're confusing uniqueness with stubbornness. They didn't make the N64 have carts to be unique, they did it because they were too stubborn to try CDs. Same with the mini-DVD. The Wii used motion controls because Nintendo then felt it NEEDED a gimmick to make up for the GameCube. The Wii U was their attempt to capitalize on what they incorrectly predicted to be the future (tablets). And the Wii U continues to fail because they're too stubborn to try anything to fix it.
One console was an attempt to be unique, and that was almost solely because they got stomped by the PS2. The NX won't be an attempt to be unique either. It'll be their way of trying to be stubborn and have both consoles and handhelds still, while not splitting their Dev teams up and leading to stagnant periods for both, because they're too stubborn to invest more in adding first party teams.
Let's just hope to god they're not stubborn enough to NOT try for PS4 quality so they can finally after 20 years be caught up to the competition.
You should check out my YouTube channel, The Golden Bolt! I review all types of video games, both classic and modern, and I also give short flyover reviews of the free games each month on PlayStation Plus to tell you if they're worth downloading. After all, the games may be free, but your time is valuable!
