The NX could end third selling 40 millions and it would be a success, not a failure. So no, Nintendo doesn't need to be second, they need a console that sells well. After all, the GameCube and Xbox "tied" for second place and only sold ˜25 millions consoles. Do you think Nintendo would be happy with a second place like that? Because I don't.

 

Also, this part

NX should also be a large step more powerful than the XB1, leaving MS with the weakest hardware by far, and they should also anticipate MS trying to rush XB2, by making NX future upgradable.

Can someone explain me how can they do that without turning the console into a PC? Because in a console all components are soldered onto the PCB, you just can't remove one part and put another one in its place.

Nintendo filed a patent for cloud computing to power up console and handheld gaming. Not only that you can contribute to others and it gives you benefits. If done correctly, it could end up leading to pretty much never needing to upgrade a console again. It comes in the form of a device you plug into the back of your existing console.
