Its simply not worth Nintendo going to such lengths to get bad ports of PS4/X1 games. I can't wait to get the NX but I'm not playing a gimped version of FFXV and Mass Effect Andromeda on it. 90% of those who want to plays those games would much rather do so on the X1/PS4 for technical reason, alongside the fact they most likely already own those systems or a PC.

Aounuma said that the only difference between the NX and Wii U version of Zelda will be the graphics, that should be hope at least that Nintendo aren't going to overly gimp whatever Tegra card they're using. `

I would buy some multiplats in that case. Lets take a game like Batman: Arkham Knight, again lets say in portable mode it can run like this:

We'll even reduce the resolution to 1024x600 vs 1366x786 which it's running on a mobile Nvidia 830M (this is almost 40% less pixels to render) to save battery life. 

Now if I could take that game at home and plug into a "home dock" which then can run the same game at 900p or 1080p with medium/high effects instead of low effects ... 

I actually would choose the NX version of many multiplats over PS4/XB1. The few extra pixels or whatever in difference in home mode would not cancel out the huge advantage of being able to play the same game anywhere I want and still be able to get almost the same visual fidelity at home. I'd love to have a version of say NHL or FIFA that isn't dramtically different from the console version. 

If Nintendo could deliver that, IMO they'd have a pretty awesome ecosystem. That said, I think unfortunately Nintendo will fuck this up. They always find a way to do so. 

I don't know about Arkham Knight. From what I've heard about the game, it isn't very well optimized for PCs (even wth the updates). Even with the resolution going down, I doubt it will perform well unless they work very hard to fix the performance issues.
