Nintendo can't make the console that Nintendo "fans" here think they should make ... basically that would be a Nintendo PS4 released in 2017 (four years late) ... that system will get *slaughtered*. They need to think outside the box and be more flexible with their hardware offering. One size fits all doesn't work for Nintendo because there's too many conflicting demographics they're trying to please simulatenously. 


Pretty much, most people on forums don't understand this, NX being a family of devices was also indicated as early as February 2014 by the Late Iwata at an investor's meeting when he mentioned a unified platform like IOS governing different devices. The platform for NX imo is not the hardware but the unified ecosystem, multiple skus to suit what someone needs with the software platform linking everything, sales of the hardware won't be what determines success now it will be increasing the number of members on the software platform that does that as mobile will be catered to as well.

This is very out of the box and I can see why their President isn't giving away many clues as it could change the direction on consoles in the same manner the NES in the 80s did if executed correctly.
