It is competing with Sony/MS whether they want to admit it or not.
What I think Nintendo needs to do away with is the whole "this our one static console for the next 5 years that's supposed to make everyone from kids to hardcore gamers happy".
That doesn't work. You can't make one single piece of hardware simultaneously cheap (for kids/families) and powerful (for hardcore gamers/third parties). NX should be a platform ... ala Steam, with many different hardware variations.
In effect I feel like it almost should be like Nintendo going third party ... to themselves (NX is a new brand). It should also IMO be a scalable platform that can compete with the PS5 (yes FIVE) and XB2 if need be over time. I like the idea of a modular platform where you can upgrade the base over time for example and shared hardware power via the Cloud is also a good idea.
There is no "other" audience for Nintendo to tap into ... casuals are not going to buy another console again IMO, not when they have thousands of free casual games available to them on their friendly, mobile iPhones/iPads. So chasing the Wii would be a mistake with NX.
Nintendo will always be unique by the way simply becuase of their 1st/2nd party software being so much different from everyone else. Did you confuse the Super NES with the Sega Genesis? Probably not. They don't need to "try" to be unique, they are unique no matter what.

Nz as in a Nintendo gaming service liek Ea access is on xbox i could see working, NX as anyhting like a traditioal hardware console will be a flop.
