I do not think you understood the point of my post. My point was that improving hardware for hand helds is making it easier for franchises to create console quality titles. No, it may not get direct ports, but if the hardware is above Wii U level, then it is not unreasonable to say developers will at least try to make a mainline title or two for the console. The hardware gap is not as huge as it once was. It may not get ports, but it does not need them. It does not need Resident Evil 5, 6, or 7 when Resident Evil: Revelations was so good that it got ported to consoles. You do not have to make a game and then downgrade it anymore, you can make a game and upgade it now because the hardware the gap has closed that much. That is how I think this console can fit into the market alongside those other consoles if the rumors are true. Hypothetically, you can make Resident Evil 8 on NX and then upgrade it (graphically mostly) to PS4 or XBOX one. There is nothing stopping developers from doing that on a content level any longer. The hardware does not stop them.

The graphical argument was simply added to keep an understanding that I meant my comment from a content and game play presective and not from a graphical prespective. I understand there will be people that say the game will not be the same graphically but I am seeing that content wise, they can pull this off. 

Re Revelations probably got ported because it didnt sell enough on 3ds for Capcom (good move looking at sales of PS3 version) thats the only reason that makes real sense. Other that that I agree with you. I just dont think the general audience will really give a damn either way. If they did portable gaming wouldnt be on the decline like it already is IMHO.

Too many opinions there and not enough facts. We have no idea why they ported it to consoles. Maybe it made sense from a few different prespectives. One being, it was a console game on a hand held. I mean, there are lots of games that do not sell well on hand helds that do not get console versions. I am not saying you are incorrect; rather, we both could be correct. There is too much specualtion there for my likes. 

Your second opinion is moot as it seems all gaming (console and hand held) is on the decline. Which would lead to a discussion about if the general audience gives much of a damn about anything gaming related right now.  As long as there is a healthy market (and I think 60 million gamers is a healthy market), those kinds of specualtion lead us nowhere, quickly.
