That's why I think they should use Zen + a mid-range Arctic Islands GPU and a dev environment that's very easy to port PC engines.
In that case it will be so cheap for a developer to port games that it doesn't really matter if the port only sells 50,000-100,000 copies lets say. I think Nintendo kind of has to anticipate slow sales of ports early on just because they're going to be far behind in userbase and the fanbase for some of these bigger IP is already migrating over to the PS4/XB1.
If it's very easy to port PC games to (the console), then developers may as well continue to support it.
