That is the million dollar question that everyone is ignoring and it frustrates me to no end.

Nintendo has said on multiple occasions that the Nx isnt a replacement. 

When people get serious about taking about the Nx they will discuss what this statement means.

Otherwise its as unintelligible as listening to ProtoMario.

It's not a million dollar question. The emphasis is on simply. As in merely. As in not-only. You guys are looking way too far into that.

Nintendo keeps saying this several times though and Kimishima has specifically said the NX is not a continuation of the Wii/Wii U at all. They also invested $100 million dollars into some kind of tech aquistion a while ago, I wonder if that wasn't for the NX's "gimmick" whatever it is. Nintendo is notoriously cheap, $100 mill is a lot of money for them whatever they bought for that money must have had some incredible value in their eyes. They paid no where close to this for even the Wiimote tech IIRC. 

Who knows. Maybe it is a new concept and Nintendo isn't bullshitting. At this stage for their sake, it might be for the best, because I don't really see them faring well against Sony/MS doing the same old, same old. Too late for that now, they probably need to take some huge risks if they want any kind of future as a hardware maker (specifically a console maker).
