It's November 21st 2016. The NX is out and more powerful than the PS4. Are 3rd parties on board?

Aaaaaaaaannnnd that would be the death of the NX.

There are only 2 ways that works and both of them are failures.

1. It's just a handheld with remote play for the home console. If that's the case, nobody cares. It's not an effective gimmick to attract attention to the system. Remote play is old news.

2. The power gap between the handheld and the home console is fairly small, small enough to allow them to play nearly the same games. This means that either the home console is weak, or the handheld is expensive, maybe both.

 

If the console is weak than so be it, as long as it has a strong and effective marketing campaign, a nice price point for what the device offers and a large library of compelling software than it can be a successful device without being a powerhouse.

 

Then the word of mouth is that Nintendo is blind to it's own issues and once again failed to make a console powerful enough to meet the demands of modern gaming. The vocal hardcore crowd ignores it, as do third parties. Initial sales are weak which means it's risky for Nintendo to spend large budgets on big games, the library suffers and we have a Wii U 2.0.
