Interesting Take on the Memory Card Slot for NX

I just don't see it. I think unless there is something dramatically new/different about the console (like the Wii was for 2006), then the console NX is just going to be a niche product for a small group of Nintendo hardcore that just must play their Nintendo games on the TV.
 

I think NX will be console for much wider market than Wii U was.

Based on what? What would a person who doesn't care much for Nintendo franchises be attracted to by a system that is basically a PS4 (at best, we hope) with another touch screen controller, but 3 years late to the market, giving Sony all kinds of time to build up a massive library, have time to price drop, etc. etc. 

You need to have a better answer here than "well they'll make the name more unique than Wii U". 

Nintendo has a fundamental disconnect with the general console market right now in that they really have not been able to appeal to the general console market since the SNES era ended, aside from a few years with the Wii, where they were able to bring in *adults* who were casual players that weren't interested in the N64 or GameCube. An audience that they subsequently lost to smartphones/tablets (in 3 years flat no less). 

This isn't about making Nintendo fans happy, Nintendo fans will see the new 3D Mario and go gaga in glee (though even there I suspect the vast majority of them will buy the handheld NX, not the console one). But the question really is what is new here with the hardware concept that's going to impress anyone who isn't really impressed with Nintendo right now. Another late-to-the-party console with a touchscreen controller, I just don't see being a winning formula when it's failed so miserably this gen.
