Why is there so much hope for NX?

Obviously I'm not the biggest Nintendo fan. But I have owned and enjoyed their consoles like the Wii, Gamecube, Snes, N64, and the DS. 

 

With that said. Obviously the WiiU is (as of now) a financial failure. 

 

I just don't get why there should be all this realistic optimism for the NX. Third parties have obviously already abandoned Nintendo and currently the PS4 is so dominant that it doesn't even need games to sell. 

 

The Xbone is also quite popular. 

 

So why so much hope? I doubt Nintendo will be successful with the NX. 

 

That's me just being logical. Not trying to be biased or hateful. 

 

There have been like 20 threads the last few days about the NX. It makes me chuckle a bit. 

Umm what? The Wii U is not a financial failure. It's a commercial failure, but not a financial one, at least as far as the general numbers are concerned since it makes profit for each one sold now and is actually sustaining. Behind the scenes it's much harder to say, that's for Nintendo's book and accountants to deal with. There is always optimism for a new console, this is no different. That's not logic since you didn't put down any logical reasons for what you believe. What you did is put down what you think will happen with no backing at all. The only point you made was about third parties but then reverted it by saying it's not even necessary to have them as shown by the PS4.
