Well Ubisoft did mostly push poorly designed shovelware on the Wii back in the day...
Also with over 60M Consoles already out there, the "Core-Market" is a pretty tough target right now, not to mention that it would include Nintendos image completely shifting.
I dont think family is bad per se: Wii and DS were aimed at familys and I loved both.
Maybe I am part of a dying kind, but I like playing together on the same sofa over getting flamed by strangers online.
I actually have a small theory concering the NX:
It could be absolutly nothing, but I think there are some hints to what kind of controller NX will have hidden in Zelda BotW:
The Shiekah Slate is obviously supposed to look like the gamepad, like so many other key-items in so many other Wii U exclusives.
The thing is: The Gamepad is hardly used in the Game!
Aonuma confirmed, the whole Game can be played with the Pro-Controller!
According to people who played the game at E3, the gamepad simply showed the Controls, which was likely done to help improve the demo.
This means that the Gamepads screen will very likely of little importance in the final game!
Coming back to the Shiekah Slate, its obvious that this is not how it was intended to be.
My guess is that many of the actions that are done on the TV during the demo, like scoping, marking targets, the map in general, etc... all used to be executed via the gamepad.
Why change that? Well, the game was announced for an yet to be shown console not that long ago!
A console that maybe, just maybe does not feature a screen on its controller, because the latter likely has more in common with the other controller that can be used to play Zelda BotW: The Wii U Pro Controller!
Agreed, this is a stretch, but I think we can at least take the absence of obvious gamepad-uses as a confirmation that NX will NOT feature a screen on the controller, and while I personally liked the gamepad most of the time, the image it has gotten over the past few years alone is reason enough to ditch the idea.
