No, there's not a good chance the NX fails. That's not how consumer products work. A good product isn't going to fail just because it released in some imaginary timeslot relevant to only the people making consoles. If the NX is what I've been saying it is, and it likely will be, it's going to absolutely dominate gaming when it launches, matching the Wii/DS combined when they came out, but with legs that last. PS4K and XBO (and Vita, poor thing) won't stand a change against that. If the PS4 is Blackberry and the XBO is the sidekick, Nintendo's going to run train launching their first generation iPhone, and console gaming is never going to be the same.

I do think they'll add shit to all of them. They just don't need to. Most people have never played these games, and they're all effectively still new.

Yeah Nintendo fans always think Nintendo's products will be massively successful, reality often brings them back down to life, a good chunk of this board though the Wii U would be a big success too. 

We'll see. 

Even if the situation was reversed and Sony was launching 3 years late ... they probably would be fucked too. I don't care if they had Uncharted 4 and GOW at launch, I don't care if they had great marketing, they would be in very tough. Nintendo is in a bad position because of the terrible Wii U generation, the Dreamcast and GameCube were massive improvements for both companies, but both bombed too because it was far too little, too late. 

Just making a good product is often not good enough. So my perspective is whatever they CAN control, as in making an effort on their game releases to make they're the best they can be rather than what is Nintendo's attitude far too often which is -- we're going to do the bare minimum and that's OK because you should be excited because we're Nintendo, is one that's problematic. 

This has nothing to do with being a Nintendo fan.  The product they are going to put on the market is going to change the industry. It would be the same no matter who did it. It just so happens that Nintendo is doing it. We will see.

The Wii U will have a whopping 0 about of impact on the sales of the NX. It's a different product with a different branding. Making a good product is always good enough. No one will be excited because they're Nintendo. They'll be excited because the NX will be a dope platform that will allow you to play your games in a dope way not possible before in the way it's being done with NX.
