Do you think NX will be below, equal, or above the power of PS4?

True, but everything he said is in conjunction with the Wii U and it's failures. It's also about what they have done, that's not saying they aren't going to try a different tactic. A more powerful console with a cheaper price point while attempting to be a hybrid system could easily be the something unique. It would not be hard to create a console that is equal to the PS4 and/or X1 or similar at a cheaper price point. The tech has come a long way and even some of the ARM processors are making massive strides while being dirt cheap. It's all speculation though. I could very likely see them pull a rabbit out of a hat on this one, especially since there are already games sort of being announced for the system lol.

Not exactly, for instance Wii U was not affordable console on launch it not even now. Everything he said is in conjunction with Wii not Wii U, Wii U failed almost in every way in comparison with Wii.

They again need affordable console (around $249) with good gimmick (Wii motion controls were very strong, while gamepad completely failed) maybe that hybrid device or something similar, and without Wii U stupid mistakes like bad name, terrible marketing, bad launch titles, software drouth..

Huh? Affordability is contextual to the purchaser. Since the PS4 has been selling so well, it would fit into that affordable sector. The Wii U is and always has been a very affordable console. As with everything, consoles have slowly crept up in price (inflation), it doesn't mean that the same prices set twenty, or even ten years ago are what they need to be to be considered "affordable". When taking in account of inflation, even the cheaper consoles that came to market 20 years ago would be released at a similar price to any of the three that were released this generation.

I'm not sure where this $249 price tag is coming from lately. I have seen it pop up all over this forum, but if the PS4 weren't affordable it wouldn't be selling as well as it is. If price were the only factor for a console then the Wii U should be selling like crazy since it's the cheapest console on the market right now.

Everything secondary you mentioned about the Wii U likely has lead to it's predicament as opposed to your initial point.

As far as a gimmick is concerned, there likely will be one, but likely more cost effective than the last try.
