yeah i just cant for the life of me seeing the rumor NX hitting 60m+ life time. Japan cant carry it alone and I couldnt see this concept being popular in america,but hey i could be wrong lol

If they can get 20 million from Japan, then getting 30 million from North America + Europe + misc. other markets should be doable ... this is still a sizable decline from the 3DS. The 3DS has sold basically 20 mill a piece in Japan, Europe, and NA. 

20 mill from Japan is critical though, they need to maintain that bastion of power as a bedrock for their hardware business. They need to throw everything at the Japanese market, Dragon Quest XI, Pokemon, Monster Hunter V, Splatoon, Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, Smash Bros., Yokai Watch ... just all out market assault on that territory. Hell I think Final Fantasy VII Remake even could be on NX (likely downgraded in graphics, but it'll be portable which is a big difference maker for Japan). 

The loss of the Wii U segment doesn't really hurt much because a lot of those players weren't Wii U-only owners, I'd say probably at least 60% of the Wii U fanbase owned a 3DS too, and since Nintendo wasn't really making a profit off the hardware in a big way ... not much of a loss there. 

yeah im going to have to take a ''believe it when i see it'' approach with the NX atm. It does not sound like something that will have a broad appeal to most gamers.  Don't see how it appeals to the western side by telling them ''here playing this downgraded game of xb1/ps4'' for things like DQXI. They'd just opt to get the PS4 version instead and ignore NX
