False. NX needs to appeal to people who enjoy playing video games. The variations of playing at home or on the go is value-added benefit. Software sells consoles, not the hardware. |
You can't simplify it like that, there are many different types of gamers who enjoy different types of gaming. You can't just say "oh anyone who likes gaming will totally pick up a $300 Nintendo system just cause it has Nintendo games," especially when that already isn't happening. $300 is too expensive for Nintendo's main and biggest market, definitely too costly for the mobile crowd, too much for console crowd without uber hardware and full third party support, and too expensive even as a secondary system to the third party machines most everyone already has.
If you believe that then why are you wanting powerful expensive hardware that'll make it more difficult to get to the software? And anyway, I never said hardware (atleast not alone) sells consoles, however the hardware can negatively affect sales when it gets in the way, such as gimmicks that jacked up the price of the Wii U and 3DS.
