If it's not powerful I think quite frankly it will be ignored by most third parties. I think Nintendo's kinda had their three strikes with the third party community and if they bring another "too cute, underpowered console that requires a bunch of hoops to jump through because it's so different from the PS4" ... it's simply just going to get ignored outright.

Wii U was kinda their last chance to make things right and that failed miserably, they're unlikely to be given another benefit of the doubt.

So I mean that's fine, if Nintendo is prepared to support the system with like 70% of its software (assuming it's a home console).

with weak hardware that very possible.

Lets face it, third party will be VERY hard for Nintendo. And brand new concept doesnt sound like "hey we now have a ps4 that can play nintendo games and all third party titles).

it wasnt the wii u´s power that made third party support go.

The wii u is stronger then ps3/x360. It could easily handle games like GTA 5, Metal Gear Solid 5, COD Advanced Warfare, Fifa 14,15, Battlefield 4, Crysis 3, Shadow of mordor, Assassins Creed rogue and more.

The problem is just that wii u owners (most likely nintendo console owners in general) arnt really interested in third party titltes and didnt bought them.

 

With a weak and cheap hardware NX could be the perfect 2ndery console the wiiu never was (because as expensive as ps4 = not gonna be a secondary console).

On weak hardware its also easier to develop more games (because each games wont be as demanding in general).

It is more complicated that that.

 

When 3rd party released their games at first, it was old games that they charged you the full price, while it that was already at 20-30$ over the other console. (Ex: MassEffect 3 was 60$ can, while you could get the triology for 40$ elsewhere).

 

After was the lack of DLC that make feel people they where paying for a cheaper version than the others.

 

Because of that people was having cold feet to buy 3rd party games. 3rd party studio was blaming the customer to not buy their games and it ended up in a dead spiral.
