Prediction: NX will do better than N64 and outsell X1 lifetime...

Zelda alone will ensure a smooth launch.  E3 will shed a bit more light on this, but I have a feeling it will be comparable to Witcher 3 in scope.  Some people, like myself, will upgrade from WiiU to NX for this game.  Most people who do not have a WiiU yet but want this game will go for NX just for the superior version (if my prediction on power holds up).  See Twilight Princess sales for reference to this fact.

 

And of course there will be other games.  Part of their strategy is to have a steady stream of games exclusive to the NX right out of the gate (why the WiiU is dead this year).  It does not take a rocket scientist to see that.

Have fun putting all hopes in a single games which is not a big seller (like Mario) to begin with. Fans are expecting too much from it. As history has shown a console needs third party; specifically western third party games to take off. Exclusives don't sell a console anymore. With the rise of PC gaming, smartphone gaming console gaming is already crowded with three companies.

Hopes in a single game?  Did you read my original post?  There is more to this than just Zelda (which is a huge IP).  All I said is that Zelda NX will help give it a strong launch, especially if it is as I predict and it is equal to Witcher 3 in scope (we will know for sure at E3).  And for Nintendo, exclusives (both 3rd party and 1st party) will be what moves this console.  There are too many PS4 owners out there for multiplats to be the primary system seller.  See X1 sales for reference.
