My comparison is complete BS!?

Wii U arrived on market just year before new consoles from MS/Sony, and in comparison with they current consoles it performed and games (launch games) looked worst, that alone wouldnt be a such a problem, but problem is that Wii U was around $100/150 more expensive in that time. New console with games that performed and look worse than on current ones with $100/150 higher price!? WTF!?  This are all facts, but maybe you cant see them..

Like I wrote, the Wii U had a higher price point than they wanted and it was their first console on which they were losing money, so clearly they had some problems because they couldn't have lower price point, and they will clearly correct that mistake with new hardware.

Nothing Nintendo mentioned dont indicates that NX will be stronger than PS4, on the contrary, all point that they are making new Wii. Wii U in comparison with Wii completely failed, it was not affordable and gimmick failed.

 

"What we are always striving to do is to find a way to take novel technology that we can take and offer it to people at a price that everybody can afford. And in addition to that, rather than going after the high-end tech spec race and trying to create the most powerful console, really what we want to do is try to find a console that has the best balance of features with the best interface that anyone can use."

We already know that Miyamoto think that Wii U had high price, also we all know Wii had very afordiable price in comparision with Xbox360/PS3, so statmant "at a price that everybody can afford" clearly indicates lower price in comparison with PS4/Xbox One, probably around $250.

In that statement "rather than going after the high-end tech spec race and trying to create the most powerful console" they clearly saying we are not going for most powerful console.

This are all facts, like I wrote, but maybe you dont see them..

No you didn't write facts actually. You copied a couple quotes that don't have direct reference to the NX, just generalizations of Nintendo's views and how they have done things. This neither says that they will continue to do the same or not. You are allowing your assumptions to guide your views. As I stated before, they haven't actually counted anything out. "Rather than going after the high-end tech spec race", doesn't necessarily mean that they aren't going to do it, it could just mean that isn't the main goal.

Again, yes, Miyamoto said that about the Wii U. But you keep comparing it when it wasn't a comparative statement. It was a statement in relation to the Wii U. He didn't say that the Wii U wasn't a price that everybody couldn't afford, he said "So unfortunately with our latest system, the Wii U, the price point was one that ended up getting a little higher than we wanted". Again, that's for the Wii U, and it is only relative to that particular system. "But what we are always striving to do is to find a way to take novel technology that we can take and offer it to people at a price that everybody can afford." That is a general statment about Nintendo as a whole and their vision for consoles in general. 

Almost everything you wrote are assumptions, not facts.

What do we know about the NX right now? That it's a system Nintendo is working on that is called the "NX". Anything beyond that is speculation and rumor. Like you said, "Nothing Nintendo mentioned dont indicates that NX will be stronger than PS4", however they also haven't said it would be weaker. It might not even be a home console from what we know at this point.

Anyway... I'm done.

We all know for some time that Nintendo working on new hardware, and all Nintendo talk about their hardware philosophy and plans indirectly applies to NX, that don't mean that everything they said will be aplied to NX, but most of things that they said very likely.

If they said, "most powerful console is not their goal, that they want affordable and unique console, and that Wii U had higher price than they wanted", that clearly indicates that chances are much higher that NX will not be most powerful console on market and it will have affordable price (lower than Wii U), instead of that NX will be stronger console than PS4 with $350 price or higher.

Yes, we don't know anything for sure except NX code name, but based on what Nintendo said (or other infos) we can assume what can NX will be, and like I wrote nothing indicates that NX will be most powerful console on market with not affordable price.
