next gen games need 25-50 gb with blue rays. They wont certainly getting 8gen games on the NX. Yes handhelds are dying, nintendo needs to carve in their remaining user base to compete or why else they decided to mix now both together.

They went from 120 million gameboys and 50 million SNESs to 50 million 3DSs and 10 million WiiUs. And i dont think this number will increase with the NX, they can be lucky remaining 60 million.

What Nintendo tries to archieve is allready reality for sony with the vita ports, so i dont think the vita is going anywhere its powerfull enough to handle the NX ports. 

In case you haven't noticed yet, I don't expect those next gen games to come to NX. Nintendo wants to grow both their home console and handheld sales, that's why they are going to go with a unified OS and development environment. Regardless of what device a consumer will choose, there will be a much steadier flow of software than currently, so higher consumer satisfaction. That in turn should result in higher sales.

If Nintendo cranks out more new IPs thanks to not having to make two separate versions of their biggest IPs anymore, then I could see them selling 200m+ NX devices. That sounds crazy, but in the seventh gen Nintendo sold more than 250m hardware units. However, it's better to be realistic than optimistic, so I'll say that NX is poised to beat the Wii U+3DS total as long as it is at least half-decently executed.

The Vita doesn't get Uncharted 4 and other PS4 games, so what are you even going on about? Nintendo obviously won't port their NX games to the Vita, and third parties won't have much of a reason either because the Vita simply doesn't sell much anywhere in the world.

But what youre saying is allready reality with japanese playstation games. They get constantley ported on ps3, ps4 and the vita like akiba strip and countless other japanese games are who choose minimalistic artistic style like nintendo does.

The vita is powerfull enough to compete with the NX and i really doubt the NX handheld will be more powerfull than the vita, if you look at the specs you can see that sonys handheld is almost 10 times more powerfull than the new 3DS from the looks of it.

So the vita could easily get the same ports from third parties on the NX. In fact it could benefit from new devoloped games who are designed for more powerfull hardware.
