Logical reasoning is a hurdle that you and the author aren't going to overcome. I mean, come on. If Nintendo wanted to hammer down the point that the Wii U and NX would live a happy life side by side, then you would have no trouble to find quotes that explicitly say so. The only thing that was coming out of Nintendo was reassurance that the Wii U would still get games through 2016, but there were no promises or anything like that for 2017 and beyond. Your interpretation that NX was ever supposed to be something like the PS4 Neo is especially whack, because the actual quote you already posted refers to NX as a dedicated video game platform with a brand new concept. |
Lol, first off the neo and the xbox scorpio are new concepts. The ability to support 4k gaming hasn't been done yet for consoles. But they are not replacing the current gen because the current gen is still selling.
As for the NX, Nintendo has always said that the NX would not replace the wii u:
"The NX is neither the successor to the Wii U nor to the 3DS", said Kimishima (as translated by NeoGAF user GSR). "It's a new way of playing games, which I think will have a larger impact than the Wii U, but I don't feel it's a pure replacement for the Wii U."
"That being said, I can assure you we're not building the next version of Wii or Wii U"
But now we are replacing the wii u with the NX being the successor. Of course I could always find more sources, but before I spend more time on this, I'd like to see your sources that claim the NX was always meant to replace the wii u.
