Here we go again. Killing before conception. Give it a rest. I know we're all in a frizz about NX but until NINTENDO says something about the console's concept, I'm not going to deem how worthy or unnecessary it is. Not yet, not while only 1% of info has been confirmed by Nintendo.

No need to post if you don't even bother to read the thread. I'm not "killing" NX, I'm simply asking is NX necessary if attracting 3rd parties is all Nintys after?

We don't know what NX will offer that might potentially attract or repel 3rd parties. I did read the OP but essentially, the threads about questioning a consoles performance/necessity without knowing what it is just doesn't seem right. We really don't know if it's a handheld or a console, how it works or anything of the sort. Nintendo NX's software situation will be directly influenced by its hardware. Once we know more about hardware, we can get a good idea of what 3rd parties will support the platform and if NX will be "Necessary".
