I'm thinking NX portable will be a modest leap over Vita similar to 3DS vs PSP and NX console will be a modest leap over Wii U similar to Wii vs GC.

 

They might as well start applying for a Playstation 4/XBox One license, because they're done as a console maker if they do that. 

The Wii model doesn't work without a miracle controller to go with it. It's like saying you're going to put all your energy into becoming a model when you're not good looking to begin with. 

The portable would do well in Japan, but their portable marketshare in US and Europe would continue to shrink too. They need to bring a product with more "wow" to the market than that. 

 

I don't see them trying to compete head on with Sony/Microsoft, I see them trying to blur the lines between what mobile & console game are, something that falls into its own middle ground market that can appeal to both sides of the spectrum.

To say Wii's success was solely due to a miracle controller is both naive & ignorant, it was a major factor but far from the only one, a controller doesnt mean shit without the right marketing, price, and software to push it. Besides who ever said Wii levels sales are required from the console portion to be a success?
