dont forget that NX as a streaming device completely makes My Nintendo irrelevant since its based on the idea of getting discounts on games by purchasing games.

Nintendo said the NX will coexist with the Wii U and 3DS and not replace them, so My Nintendo works for those.

Don't shoot the messenger here. I posted these videos knowing how controversial this idea of a streaming Nintendo system is. I don't know what Nintendo's next system will be and no one else outside of Nintendo knows either. We all have to wait for the reveal.

Nintendo also said My Nintendo is a key part of their business going forward and that they are pushing digital sales as another strong revenue stream. Both these things contradict your theory because these are both meant to be long-term revenue streams so having them exclusively for 3DS/Wii U which are declining/dying platforms makes no sense for their long-term goals.

Wii U is expected to ship 800,000 this fiscal year and be discontinued by the following fiscal year while 3DS is expected to ship 5,000,000 this fiscal year, which is down from about 13,000,000 in the 2011/2012/2013 fiscal years. Both of these platforms are on the way out and are not part of their long-term goals meaning that My Nintendo & digital sales in general are key parts of their NX strategy.

You're right, none of us know exactly what NX will be but one thing we do know is that your theory is wrong.
