Didn't see the edit in time.

The thing is... The wii/ds were new markets which people could easily distinguish. Where as with the NX, as far as the rumors and concept arts and etc go, they are entering a market which people cannot easily distinguish. Its a tablet that can play games and can connect to the TV... K? How is that any different from all the other tablets apart from the gimmick of being able to take off the controllers. (Which really is like taking off a case in some ways)

Yes yes it has Nintendo games but we saw how far Nintendo games alone can go with the 3ds. So... Whats the advantage of being a tablet and entering a declining market?

Actually people couldn't easily distinguish the Wii/DS markets before either device launched, before then people were unsure of them and predicted both devices to flop.

People can't distinguish new markets before they take off because their mindset is rooted in current markets.

Yea but when you saw the wii/DS. The reason people were so unsure of them were because those were devices that no one has ever seen before. That is how people could distinguish them from everything else. From the concept arts and etc, the NX looks like every other tablet just with controllers on the side which has been done a few times.

I am trying to figure out apart from "Nintendo games," what functionality will be so unique to the NX that other tablets aren't capable of doing? We have tablet accessories which add controllers to them and we have tablets that can connect to the TV. Where as with the wii/DS, those technologies were so new that virtually no one did those before.
