Realistically Does the Console NX Have Any Chance Against PS4/XB1?

don't know. it's a hard place to be:

1. too late to release a ps4-like console
2. too early to release a ps5-like console
3. gimmicky consoles carries a almost guaranteed lack of 3rd parties and only a chance that the gimmick is something the market will care about
4. this stupid fusion idea, imo, will cause a big contraction in overall console sales as many won't buy both if the library's have a lot of cross-buy.

i'm excited to see what nintendo thinks will be a winning idea. very prepared to be disappointed. extremely prepared for a bad idea to be labeled at the second coming of gaming.

And you think this gen many buyed both!? We have 12m Wii U owners and 58m 3DS owners, theoretically just around 1/5 3DS owners could buyed Wii U, but reality is that number is far smaller.

the only reason to buy a wiiU is you are a big nintendo fan.  a big portion of the wiiU owners have a 3ds as well.  easily enough overlap to cause a 10% drop in console sales if the library's are too similar to justify multi-console ownership.  that is, imo, a big contraction.
