Why do we insist that NX has to be another PS or XB, or else it'll fail?

The problem is that unless it's powerful enough to play the major third party games it's not going to sell to the mainstream gamer.

Simply put, Nintendo doesn't do enough to appeal to 18-34 year olds and the NX will fliunder and die without them.

That sounds a bit weird. Why would 18-34 year olds choose the NX over the PS4 for the third party support? If they do then that would mean Sony exclusives dont appeal to them either...

If they're the kind of gamer that plays mostly COD and sports games then they could be swayed into getting the NX because either it also has games their kids can play, or at least it might be an easier sell to their spouse.

Plus, the ability to play the games without needing to take up the TV right out of the box could be appealing. But if it doesn't get those games, or only gets gimped versions then they'll miss out on that demographic.
