Could the NES Classic be an failed first NX production?

[Nautilus]

From where you are taking this from?Emulating NES games by now is incredibly easy, and using the Tegra X1 chips is nothing short of overkill for the NES Classic.

So no.The NES classic was a cool idea that Nintendo had, and that they would have launched sooner or later, whatever the fate for NX was.You are overthinking this man,

Edit:Plus, as some users here stated, they are launching now probably due to their situation, where they dont have no big titles launching for christmas in their home console side.So they are doing this instead to compensate.
