That doesn't have anything with "ghosts of the past" and 90", if Nintendo wants they can make just console that 3rd parties want like Sony done with PS4, but Nintendo wants to offer something different or new.

This kinda logic is just mind boggling to me. Ok how about this, how about they "just make what third parties want" which will at the veey lesst gaurantee that all gsmes are ALSO available on their platform then still give the something different too. You know? like sony is doing with PSVR.

I don't know.... that may also work you know?

Just doing what others are doing is not a gaurantee for success, that's like saying if you want to have success in the Smartphone market than just make a product similar to Apple's iPhone or Samsung's Galaxy, it's not that simple. Just because Nintendo releases a console similar to Sony or Microsoft's doesn't mean that people are going to buy it.

In the 30+ years of Nintendo making hardware, their success has always come down to exclusivity, software/features that can't be found on other platforms, how many multiplatform games can you think of that have had a strong effect on hardware sales? I'm guessing it's very few.
