Nintendo Says It’s Looking To Appeal To Both Causal And Core Gamers With NX

Every console generation has new gameplay experiences. This idea that "new gameplay experiences" only started with the Wii is a fucking joke, especially when Sony basically did similar ideas a few years earlier with Eye Toy. And you do know previous Nintendo consoles had controller innovations without selling completely outdated hardware, right? 1983-2005 did actually happen last time I checked. 

Or is a console with semi-competent hardware now a trademark of Sony and MS? 

I'm not asking for Nintendo to compete with Neo and Scorpio, I'm just asking for TV performance better than the average GPU from *five* years ago. I'd like something that is a reasonable upgrade on the Wii U if I'm going to pay another $250-$300 after 4 years. That is not exactly a high bar. It's not asking for a steak dinner with wine, it's asking for a hamburger that's at least properly cooked. 

I think you have done a very good job describing the " give and take" that Nintendo faces and how its decisions effect its potential customers going forward.  The reality is the NX will EITHER appeal more to the inexperienced gamer or more to the experienced gamer but it will not cannot appeal to them both equally by default  -   It's pretty simple " for every action there is a reaction" 

That assumes that both types of gamers have completely diferent tastes and under no circumstance their interests ever coincide.
