The article never said any of that.

Even if the system is as powerful as its rivals, the selling point has to be its new features.  When you're arriving 3 years late, it's not enough to be as good as them.  Has to offer something very unique.  A traditional console at this point would flop hard.

 

My question is: Do gamers really need all the uniqueness Nintendo tries to sell these days?

Gamers don't need anything.  It's a luxury market.  Nintendo's job, like Sony and Microsoft, is to manufacture demand.  

Again, if Nintendo makes something that isn't unique, then they're just offering what their rivals already have three years later.  It'd be suicidal.
