That simply isn't true. The NX is either going to be the final nail in the coffin for Nintendo in terms of relevance to the gaming industry, or it'll be their saving grace. In the end, nothing can change consumers moving more towards smartphones for entertainment, but the console market is going to be there, and that's where we need to see some major improvement from Nintendo.

 

Nintendo doesn't have a "console market", they have a niche group of 20-30 year old men mostly willing to buy their consoles because they grew up with them in the 80s/90s. That's not "market", that's a niche audience. 

If the portable successor to the 3DS is not a big seller for Nintendo, they may as well start applying for a third party license right now. 

Really if its a discreet console what is the NX going to be anyway that's so special? A Nintendo console with PS4 graphics instead of PS3 graphics? Are the people buying Playstation and XBox likely to care?

12 million sales is not a niche market for god's sake. It may not be enough to justify hardware development, but it's certainly not niche. Also you don't understand the Nintendo base at all. It's a good thing you're not in charge of the decisions!
