Was reffering to third party games. Nintendo NX will be more expensive than xbox one and ps4. 99 percent of games are third party games. Why would anyone buy their console just to play their few good exclusives that comes out 2-3 times a year? Nintendo was better off with the gamecube route than the wii u route. Which may be discontinue this year. $199 system to play smash bros,super mario, legend of zelda, metroid prime, ect is way more attractive than $350+ system to play those games on a gimmicky controller that doesn't look comfortable. Not to mention Nintendo may not have an adequate online system. Nintendo has to rely on first party to sell their system and paying almost 400 dollars with taxes doesn't seem like a good option.

Gamecube situation proves you wrong because they had third party support and guess what? It didn't do well and the Xbox as a newcomer beat it out, you're arguing about going the traditional route yet the 2 consoles that have accomodated this (the GC and the Wii U) have done the worse commercially which again shoots down your logic end of.

I like how you're making all sorts of assumptions on a device you know nothing about as well like online and price, you don't know whether the console will be sold at a loss of whether the specifications are cheap enough to accomodate the new, X1 specs will be cheap now especially with out the media features and all that MS and Sony go for. Seeing as you know about the NX online please enlighten us.

Gamecube made Nintendo money unlike the Wii U route which they seem to be taking. And Nintendo didn't get much third party support after a few years. People are going to buy a Nintendo System based on their first party lineup thats it. Im basing a lot of assumption based on Nintendo moves. Nintendo seems to not understand they will never be successful again if they keep this up. Gamecube worked out great for them money wise. Nintendo Wii U.... not so much.  

 

Also it is heavily rumoured (just like the controller) the specs of NX will be on par with xbox one and ps4. What is the point if no third party developer is going to support it for long? Most people want playstation and xbox one for third party games because that is where their friends game on and the console they already bought. Not to mention Nintendo doesn't get along with third party developers.
