Pokken selling close to a million on the wii u is pretty good. Yes its a diferent type of game bu pokemon fans are buying it. Its sold alot more than tekken on wii u.

I meant to say that if the nx sells well and is powerful enough third parties will make games for it if they sell.

It will be more appealing to casuals because it looks like a tablet that plays Nintendo games at home or on the go.

Again, why should Nintendo make decisions regarding a 10 million plus selling RPG franchise based on a <1 million selling fighting game spin off?  And why does it matter that it's selling better than Tekken (which isn't that impressive seeing as Tekken sold under 200K)?

If it sells well and is powerful, third parties may develop for it.  But, the rumors indicate that it will be well below the PS4's power.  The fact that it will use a completely different architecture raises development cost, and cartridges raise manufacturing costs.  Cutting the profits by 2-3 dollars a game is a huge disincentive to development.

Casual gamers are, by definition, casual.  Do you really think the kinds of gamers who bought Brain Age for a 150 dollar system are going to come back now that they can play it in HD on a system that will be closer to 300?  Do the kinds of people who played Wii Sports really care about taking that experience with them?  

Why exactly is the fan who didn't want a 3DS and didn't want a Wii U so much more likely to buy this?
