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

Well then how can you say that people dont want the "in between" console anymore when the Wii was for everyone and the WiiU was just for die-hard Nintendo fans...?

Nintendo didn't mean to make Wii U only for die-hard Nintendo fans, they wanted it to be a Wii 2. Nintendo die-hard fans will buy anything Nintendo brings, whatever it is. But that group is very small, which I think explains the abysmal Wii U sales. The other 140m went to smartphones or PS4/XB1. 

Well if we are counting handhelds as well, then Nintendo has the most fans as of right now.
