The original point of our discussion is that NX can be an hybrid or a regular home console, but given that it will replace the WiiU, it's fair to compare it to WiiU.

Of course I understand that my tastes are mine and not everybody shares them (thank God!), and that if NX also replaces the 3DS it should also be compared to the handheld, but it should be clear that not everyone who owns a Nintendo handheld also owns a Nintendo home console and the opposite is also true, so for those people the comparison is WiiU vs NX or 3DS vs NX, not WiiU+3DS vs NX.


No the OP highlighted specifically it's a hybrid platform , a number of people have only read the thread title, for a hybrid system a sole comparison to the Wii U is flawed because it replaces the 3DS as well, I suggest you read the op again.

If someone only owns one platform it still doesn't negate the point as it's an even better deal as you still get more games in the library that you wouldn't have access to this is why trying to compare using that logic is deliberately trying to be narrow minded some what because as I said before you still haven't countered the point that if the Wii U and 3DS libraries were one it'd be one of the best libraries on any platform that few would complain about. You'd have all first party games in one place, all second party games in one place and to top it off because Nintendo's handhelds dominate the portable market especially in Japan you'd get more third party games then if it was just a console with more power because believe me the latter won't change much.
