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.

Actually not true mate as the were devices that utilized their concepts before people were unsure of them because they felt they had no place in the market and that's what it comes down to, no one understood the new market because it hadn't taken off yet.

People only understood the goal once their devices were out and the marketing was communicating to consumers, that's how people distinguish them.

But the issue still is, there was nothing like the wii or the DS in gaming. I am not sure which mass market device are you referring to that did what the wii/DS did before either of them. There are concepts sure but there are concepts about everything and those that are successful take those concepts and execute it perfectly.

But there are tablets that can play games so thats not exactly a concept anymore... So what "new" market is Nintendo trying to take off in that other tablets can't do?
