I believe it will, but not by very much. Maybe 20M. The interest in Nintendo consoles is dying. Just no way to refute that. And ever since the Wii, they seem stuck in the same strategy, trying desperately to reclaim that fire. Creating a controller gimmick, coupled with HW that would have been competitive power-wise last gen.

And if the more realistic rumors are right, they're doing the same exact thing with the NX. A controller with an HD screen, which may double as a HH console, with the console itself being on par with the PS4 OG. Some rumors even suggesting more inline with the XBO. That will only excite the Nintendo faithful, whose numbers continue to decline.

Of course, the biggest reason the NX will not be a huge success was launched in 2013. The PS4 is this gen's king. It's still doing great and has only seen a $50 price cut since launch. This year it'll be dropping even lower, probably to $299 or possibly even to $249 with the launch of the Neo. It's just going to have great momentum, something that's hard to compete against. Speaking of the Neo, if the rumors are true, and the soon to be standard PS4 is actually quite a bit more powerful than the NX, it'll look even more like last gen.

Nintendo launching when a gen is 3/4 of the way through, with underpowered HW to actually compete with the next true gen just isn't cutting it. It also means when a PS5 launches in 2019, NX is going to look completely outdated and its 3rd party support will suffer.

hahahahaha. You're so ridiculous it's almost pitiful. I hope you're trolling, because if you're serious, well, good luck.

Zero, is that you?
