What do you think is more important for Nintendo NX to have, powerful hardware or great first year lineup?

Why is this such an issue? I could see it being a deal if the most reasonable answer wasn't an option, but that's not the case here.

If you want to say that both are equally important, you must accept a $400 Nintendo home console. Then you have to ask yourself if there is even a large market who would pay that much for a Nintendo system, and more specifically, if NX is supposed to pack so much power, how is that feasible in conjunction with a handheld that is supposed to play much of the same games as the home console. It's simply unrealistic. Powerful hardware would contradict the very core of the NX strategy.

I think it's possible for them to come up with a powerful console that is marked 300$. They did it with the gamecube.

Your argument against the WiiU was correct. The problem was the controller. A console worth 200$ graphics-wise was priced 350$ due to an optional controller that had a screen on it. It wasn't necessary. It marked up a console that people finally didn't want. It didn't have enough games, it wasn't powerful enough for multi-plats, and it was pricy: a recipe for disaster.

If they could add graphics to the system rather than unneeded input controls, they would be in the right direction.

Of course, the NX being a hybrid, the strategy would be to consolidate both handheld and home console libraries. So if they offer a capable console at 300$ with a combined library, my God, they will make a killing.

That would (in turn) be less powerful than the Scorpio and Neo. You're option then seems like the library overall would be the most important thing.
