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

And who said you can't be different AND be as powerful as a 3 years old console?

If the NX is not powerful enough to get the usual big third party games like FIFA, COD, BF, Assassin's Creed and others like that, it will be Wii U 2.0, it's pretty easy to understand this even without being "the same console".

People are set in their ways. Nobody is going to buy COD on NX, or any Nintendo console. The market and demographic is much different. IT doesn't make since to try to be a consumer whore when the consumers aren't trying to get laid. Wii U failed because it was a poor concept, high price, and yes not enough games but not only was it not enough, it wasn't the right games. Nintendo was absent at launch besides a rehashed Mario game. NX won't share the same fate with software. Where Sega and Square Enix shunned Wii U with their more agressive software, NX seems to be getting some decent software from them. NX doesn't need Cod or BF, or any western 3rd party games because their consumer base doesn't care about them.

OP you are so wrong, man. Imagine a powerful Nintendo console, where the 1st party games look amazing, with the backup of 3rd party developers. It does not have to be more of the same like PS4 and Xbox. I would buy COD, Final Fantasy etc... It would be like the SNES days, good console, great 1st party titles and a plethora of 3rd party games as well.
