It is for a child who asked Santa for it. Anything else is irrelevant lol.

My personal opinion is that the NX will not be backward compatible because there is no way they will continue with the same architecture that started life on the gamecube. If they want 3rd party support they need to go x86. Then to run Wii U games they will need to emulate them, meaning the NX hardware will need to be significantly powered to work correctly. I guess in theory they could pack a hardware chip to emulate the Wii U, but that would be another cost.
