This is hilarious. I want to know what developers that are not making Wii U or 3DS games now is going to spontaneously start developing games for the NX because it's cheaper to make games for the NX than it is to make them for both the Wii U and the 3DS. I bet you anyone that might is already making games on the PS4 and X1... so the might want to put their PS4/X1 game on the NX... Why do you think this is an outlandish concept?

You literally think developers are going to choose between making a PS4/X1 game OR making an NX game, and see the NX as a more profitable avenue, don't you? That is absolutely delusional thinking.

Apple has done that in all of those avenues. Go ahead, google "iPhone killer" and "iPad killer" and see how many of the products mentioned in those articles actually became successful. Roku does make streaming boxes, but what about Boxee? Their demise came right in line with Apple releasing the Apple TV at $99, a huge step down from the $299 it started at. I did cover smartphones, but you'll also note that as Apple grew, many of its competitors crumbled, such as Blackberry and Sony Ericsson which tried to compete directly wiht the iPhone and failed. Asus still makes tablets, but Motorola doesn't. Neither does Blackberry. Apple has pushed competitors out of sectors everywhere its products have caught on. Once it establishes success, it leverages it to gain marketshare and maintain dominance.

Honestly, Nintendo would have an easier time trying to fight against Sony and Microsoft in the "hardcore console" domain than they would going up against Apple and Google in the smartphone/tablet realm. It's that much of an uphill battle.

And yes, Nintendo kinda is doomed. They have made poor decision after poor decision for over a decade now and have burned so many bridges with gamers and developers alike that it might in fact be too late for them to turn it all around. I'm not sure how they are going to do it if it can be done, but the NX as its described by people like you, is not the answer.

Again for the 50th time, it's to unify the games that appear on Nintendo devices so they are no longer segregated, I'm not talking about developers that already don't support Nintendo. No I don't think developers are going to choose between NX or PS4/XB1, I think the developers who make 3DS games are going to make NX games and the developers who make Wii U games are going to make NX games. Here is the software lineup of 3DS+Wii U this year, this is a good example of the support we could potentially see on NX in a given year.

Nintendo published titles+Japanese 3rd parties+casual/family/kid friendly titles+indies would give NX a solid and consistent release schedule. If we also take into account the Android rumors from Nikkei than its very likely NX will receive many ports from mobile devs, the likes of EA/Ubisoft/Activision/Warner Bros would all very likely port over their mobile titles NX.

Ok, I googled those and saw lists of devices that were supposed to kill iphone/iPad but failed, not sure where u are going with this? Another thing, look at the term u used, "tried to compete directly with Apple", that's not what Nintendo is going to do. Microsoft/Sony/Apple/Google/etc aren't going to see Nintendo as a threat because Nintendo is not trying to compete head on with any of them and is not looking to steal consumers or marketshare from those companies, they are simply trying to create a self-sufficient ecosystem for themselves where their software can sell and be profitable.

3DS+Wii U will go on to sell something like 80 million units of hardware and 400 million units of software, that's all while making "horrible decision after horrible decision" as u put it, and I agree Nintendo made a lot of mistakes this generation such a price, software output, marketing, among other things. So why is it so hard to accept the possibility of them increasing their consumer base by fixing these issues?
