Does Nintendo require VR/AR to remain relevant...?

No need to be condescending.

If they have a low price, if people are already happy with the PS4/Xbox lineup, why would they get another console? And stating a console has to have good games is stating the obvious, so how/what are these good games going to be? Are they going to be first or third party? Are they going to rely on any Nintendo franchise? Are they going to be technically advanced, current gen or retro? Your solution just opens up a whole lot of questions.

If Nintendo makes the NX x86, and about as powerful as the PS4, it will likely get a fair bit more third party support than the Wii U, and they could probably launch it at about 249-299, with bigger prospects of pricedrops than the Wii U had. Not sure what you mean by "are they going to be technically advanced, current gen or retro". The games will obviously be current gen since they are released on current gen hardware. And they aren't looking to make those that already own a PS4 or XBO switch. They are looking to make those that haven't bought or decided which console to buy yet to buy an NX.

 

I'd go more indepth as far as the strategy goes, but coming up with this required months of reading and writing posts on video game forums, so I'm afraid if you wanna know more you'll have to pay me 70$ an hour for my expertise. Sorry :-/

Possibly. The issue is the Wii U burned a lot of publishers with it's Wii U support which may create a catch 22 - publishers want to see good sales before releasing their games, but the console would only sell well with third party games being released on it...

I can't imagine people who are sitting on the fence about a PS4 or Xbox One would by an NX if the latter wasn't more powerful and brought something new to the table, otherwise you're paying a lot of money for something that's late to the party.

Also, you wouldn't get $70 an hour for trawling forums - feel free to message me for career advice ;)
