Nintendo addressing the family market with NX according to Ubisoft

[Soundwave]

I've fought against the idea, but I think I've kinda let the "Nintendo is competing with Sony/MS" dream die.

There's just no space for them to operate in that arena, not with Scorpio/Neo causing market oversaturation as is, and brand wise Nintendo just can't compete for buyers of games like Grand Theft Auto or "Calladooty" or Madden NFL. Those audiences will stick with a Playstation or XBox or PC no matter what.

Their brand is too closely associated with family friendly kid-centric entertainment. The occasional Bayonetta is not going to ever change that, and Nintendo is never going to become (nor would it be a good thing) a company that makes tons of violent action games.

As long as the NX console (assuming it is a somewhat "normal" console) is a solid upgrade on the Wii U hardware wise, so I'm actually getting something for my $250-$350 that Nintendo charges for it, I've made my peace with being OK with that.

Games like Zelda: BoTW and Mario Kart 8 look very nice really anyway, it's not like I play PS4 games and go back to the Wii U and go "OMG! It's hideous!", PS4 games look better, but Wii U games still look nice, unlike the original Wii which looked like hot garbage on a HDTV.

Gimme 1 TFLOP, Nintendo, that's all I ask and that's a pretty damn low bar. I'll be happy with that, Mario Kart and Zelda and Mario and Splatoon will look phenomenal on such a system, and make whatever wacky dildo-shape-shifting controller you want. I don't even care any more. Just give me the option of a classic controller and we're good.
