As for the NX, if it truly is underpowered compared to the OG PS4, I don't see it having a pray's chance at catching on. 3rd parties will hardly support it and gamers won't want inferior versions of games that are better on consoles they already own. And while having a controller that doubles as a handheld is interesting, it's not enough to carry a system. If the NX fails to deliver, I can truly see Nintendo either shifting to mobile gaming or going 3rd party or both. |
I think thats the problem with nintendo and even more so their die hard fans.
The fans seem to not understand that a console cannot be successful without the big AAA third party games and you can't blame them when nintendo themselves feel they can do without them too. The only way NX without thrid parties becomes a thing is if nintendo can pull off another Wii like phenomenon. But to come in and be even less poeerdul than the OG XB1 and with no third party games? All the zelda in the world won't save them. Unless they do another Wii loke thing.
But then again, nintendo fans will buy the NX for zelda, then more will be for the bew mario, and then the new mario kart....etc. Onky problem is, that as the N64, Gamecube and the WiiU has shown, that never seems to amount to a user base of more than 20-30M over the course of a generation.
I think the NX is gonna succeed tho, just not in how we all think it would. I think its actually gonna be a mobile console first and a home console second. When plugged into a wall and ur TV it would be upclocekd and run games better and will have power more than the WiiU but less than the XB1. When used on battrry it would switch modes. so it would do really well as a mobile console, that just happens to hsve the odd 2/3 home releases each year.
