Probably the home console: even if MOST NX-games run on the handheld, I doubt that ALL will run on it.
There are also many iOS games that run on iPad but not on iPhones. |
I genuinely believe that the only NX games that won't run on both will be a very select few 3rd party games. I don't see a single first party Nintendo game ever running on only one form factor. Like, I see a lot of people thinking a game like Zelda U or XCX won't run on the handheld, meanwhile I'm like it obviously will. That's how they sell the concept. That's how the pitch the idea. Everything is playable on everything. That's how easy it will be to scale your game to work on both systems with the NX. I genuinely think that devs will have to actively try and get there game to not be possible on the NXDS. I look at current gen games, and I can't see a more than a handful of games that couldn't have been done uglier on last gen hardware. Only something like No Man's Sky which, when I look at Minecraft on smartphones, makes my even question if that couldn't have been done to a much less impressive degree on weaker tech.
I think the amount of NX console exclusive games will be so few that it will be negligable.

I think the same too. If you're going to release two different pieces of hardware at the same time, and one plays more games than the other, you are alienating consumers from the beginning. And most Nintendo titles don't need that much power to begin with, so no problem there. Actually, even if that happens, Nintendo could just release a New Nintendo NX two or three years later solving whatever power difference exists between HH and HC. I don't know how people would take it, but there are precedents.
I thnk the 9th gen will be completely different from what we've seen in the console market. With Nintendo going with the Fusion and their mobile plans, Microsoft hinting more and more PC integration of the XBox brand, Sony focused on streaming and miniconsoles getting more and more power (soon will reach and pass WiiU power), this are really uncertain times.
