  • please don't impute everyone that come to a different conclusion than you that they haven't thought about it
  • "people in the internet" have NOT uniterally decided that... you and Gamemaster87 are the best counterevidence for that
  • your "reason" is only your opinion, it is no fact that the other opinion is "unrealistic as it comes"

There is a home console, but its not coming this year. The Wii U is only 3 years old. The 3DS is needing replacement before the Wii U. Besides the fact that Nintendo's president said that the NX is not the sucessor to the Wii and Wii U.
  • ...and in November the Wii U is 4 years old. It's not unprecedented that a console or handheld gets a successor after 4 years (Xbox, Sega Saturn, GBA...), especially if the sales are worse than expected and you have to react fast, to stay relevant
  • Nintendo also said that the DS doesn't replace the GBA, they talked of a "third pillar"... but that was mostly PR talk and the GBA support died very fast; the same will happen to the Wii U the momen NX is launched



 

Dude, seriously... i think about things more than 99.9% of the human population. I have no doubt about that. I am also sure 99% of the people that post in the internet don't think about what they are saying and just go with the flow. If you want to pretend that isnt the case, go ahead. I am not saying you or anyone else are one. But i recognised that the other poster wasn't one and i showed my apreciating for the breath of fresh air.

My reason is not an opinion. My reason is fact. That fact is, no one knows what the NX is aside from those working on it at Nintendo. The general idea in the internet is that its a home console stronger than the PS4 that will come out later this year. This idea gained traction because its what several people wish for. In fact, there is no proof for this theory. It is no more likely than it beeing something completely different or a sucessor to the 3DS. There is zero reason to jump to that conclusion over others. Its very much like religion. People want something to be there so much they will inherently believe it without any proof.

And for the last point. Its a beautiful possibility. Doesnt make it more probably than others. Just cause it "can" doesnt mean it will.

But i would like to know how the supporters of the new home console coming out this year, can explain how Nintendo is going to get launch titles ready this year and have a flow of games for next year, not only for the new home console NX, but for the sucessor of the 3DS and the continued support of the Wii U that was promised. Where is Nintendo getting all these resources.

And lets look at the NX if its a new-generation system. How has Nintendo done with HD development on the Wii U? It resulted in multiple delays on lots of software. They can hardly get to grips with it but here we go, they will just jump on the next gen without having mastered the previous one and they will have new titles ready to come out this year and the next. This does not look likely at all to me. It seems very disconnected from reality. If you said 2017, i could see that. I do think they may be gearing up for that. But this year? I will be amazed if its the case.
