Why is everyone so sure that the NX is a godbox, history proved Nintendo didn't make a god system since the N64. After thst the PS2, Xbox 360, PS3 and now PS4 is the godbox for consolegamers. They would get a Nintendo system worth buying as a PRIMAIRY SYSTEM and Nintendo hasn't produced such hardware for gamers since the N64. For as far as I care Nintendo is still miles behind on third party support and online features, people who buy the NX as the Wii U (like me) blindly will prove that a few exclusives make blind. Nintendo has to prove that they can make a system which is compareable in both software diversity and hardware as the PS4, and honestly I don't see that happening.

Since I will not ever buy a Nintendo console on launch again, with playstation or an xbox however I know and I like what I get. A good performing piece of hardware which can play many games I like in the first way with practically no draughts after the first year and a giant library.

PS2 wasn't the god box. I believe it was actually the weakest of its generation. Even Dreamcast stood tall in many other aspects compared to PS2. The only thing that PS2 really had as far as hardware goes was DVD playback, and that was its biggest selling point.

The hardware itself no, but it's library on the other hand made up more than enough, with the debut of God of War, Jack and daxter, Ratchet and Clank, GTA 3, Vice City, San Andreas. But the PS2 was indeed the weakest but that's nothing if you compare the Wii to the PS3 or the Wii U tot the PS4. DVD playback did quite a lot for the PS2 and destroyed the potential for many third party games to release on gamecube since some freaking genius at Nintendo tought it would be wise to use minidiscs (moron). So even when the gamecube had sufficient hardware to run games the minidisc made sure it was pretty hard to port open world games in the first place.

With Nintendo's most recent consoles you kind a get neither sure each year there's one or two very good games, but in the meantime there are a lot of draughts and no third party games to fill those up. After that the hardware leaves much to be desired off and many develpers at Nintendo almost don't want to use the consoles full graphical potential (thedevs of mario kart 8, and the devs of mario galaxy 1/2 are an exception though). So there's more than enough reason to be sceptic of this new console.
