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

Then Nintendo would never have an opening to "attack". If they keep playing it safe. Both ways are equally poor.

If they keep it safe and do a cheap console, they can make good numbers and keep going. Then I see no major growth to their product. Maybe Mario Jump help get people to get some sales. But it won't reach nice numbers.

If they make a 400 bucks console and the 3rd party option backfires, they will end up with another Wii U and now without a 3DS to back it up since it's a single platform. Selling just 15M consoles in a single gen (since it's a combined platform) would pretty much do a massive damage to Nintendo. Nintendo wouldn't just discontinue the 3DS. Intill they know the NX is in a okay shape. Just like the GBA was planned. If the DS didn't work.
