My personal feeling is still that NX is something fairly different *while* being flexible enough to not entirely alienate those who are willing to buy Nintendo hardware but would want access to traditional type gaming as well.

So my guess is NX is a portable console, something that hasn't really been done before, which can interface to nearby TVs or tablets/phones and has some kind of new control input that invites people to gather around it because that just seems like a very Nintendo-ey design focus. 

Buuuuuut, it has a Supplemental Computing Device (SCD, which Nintendo has patented), which is basically just an extra APU for home use that enables higher end graphics for those who want that. And there's a traditional controller in the mix for those who want that.


That's what I suspect anyway, but I don't think it is just a vanilla console (for better or worse).

How do you do all that without confusing people? How do you market it? People were already confused about what the WiiU was (was it a tablet, a Wii add-on, a new console?), imagine trying to explain that to an audience that wants as little complications as possible.



You know it deserves the GOTY.
