First, that was a good article. Nice job, though I don't quite agree with everything.
"Nintendo having a shared library theoretically doubles the output of Nintendo's first party software."
While having a shared library will certainly help, the net doesn't seem like it would be double. Aren't some of the biggest games on both just versions of one another?
Also, assuming that Nintendo produces roughly the same type of content for the NX as on the 3DS+Wii U, it still fails to address Nintendo's main problem, which is creating new consumers. The number of people who are interested in the Nintendo brand is probably at an all-time low (given that we won't know about mobile yet). They've lost a staggering amount of market share relative to home consoles while the handheld market continues to shrink.
Amiibo was an attempt to fix that but, last I heard, it wasn't working out exactly as Nintendo hoped.
Granted, there will be people who will pull the trigger on NX because they were on the cusp already and just needed a little more. It will be interesting to see how many.
By the way, what unique properties and franchises on Nintendo handhelds will translate into selling points for people who are looking at the NX as a home console?
