So im a bit confused, at first you said an underpowered device like this will be like Wii U and get no 3rd party support and sell poorly then JRPGfan said that this is more of a handheld so its the 3DS successor as well, which gets far stronger support and has far better sales than Wii U despite being the most outdated hardware of all current devices.

Your reply was that it personally doesnt appeal to you, that doesnt really explain if you still believe its destined to fail or not. And if you do still think it will fail, why?

The other question I would have regarding this. Sure it doesn't appeal to you personally, but can you speak for the 60 million 3ds owners or the approximately 13 ish million Wii U owners? They are guaranteed to grab basically the entirety of their handheld market, and at least a portion of the home console market, including possibly more from other home consoles depending on their approach with this thing. I believe if anything it is destined to be a huge success, especially with all of the crazy hype around it.

I'll just say if the rumor is true, Japan is on lock. For the rest of the world though it's honestly going to come down to price. That said, if they can get even a 720p handheld, 1080p when docked hybrid to the market and have it come with LoZ: BOTW in the box for $350 or less I see it doing very well (The system with no game $300 or less). For Nintendo, selling systems greatly depends on price point, and I simply don't think they'll need the X2, nor would it be financially benificial for them to use it. I mean, everyone here is talking about the X2's power compared to Wii U, but if you compare the rumored specs of X2 to the X1, it doesn't really seem like all that big of an improvement. The benifits wouldn't outweigh the risks.
