Would you have preferred Nintendo just put out a console that is similar to ps4 and xbox 1? I don't think that would have been very attractive to current ps4, xbox 1, and pc users. I know I find that possibility to be boring and I suspect a lot of the reason why the NX has been subject to so much rumor and speculation is because of the fact that Nintendo doesn't care to make just another console. They experiment and I like them for it. Doesn't always pay off but when it does, Sony and Microsoft will probably try to copy it.

This has nothing to do with my preference. It has to do with me disagreeing that the only value Nintendo brings to the industry is be having to be different.

I think more highy of them than that.

Granted, their attempts at different inputs over the last few years has made me less willing to invest in their hardware.

Iam pretty ok playing the games more or less how I have before. Its not like playing football or cricket or any sport become less exciting to play/ watch because I have been doing so for somany years already. Same applies to games.

Do you believe they contribute more to the industry by being more of the same?
