Who do you think is going to buy a $400 Nintendo console for the sole purpose of playing western multiplats?

The audience for those games is already on PS4/XBO, why would they switch to Nintendo to play games they already have access to?

According to the rumors the supposed 3.6 tflop AMD console will cost $300-350, not $400. Wii U didn't sell because it didn't have the power or architecture neccessary to win over 3rd party devs, the less hardcore Nintendo fans didn't buy it because there just weren't enough games to play. Solve the problems of low graphical power and difficult to develop for architecture, and you'll have a console that 3rd party devs of all types will support. You'll then have a console that not only hardcore Nintendo fans will buy, but also the fairweather Nintendo fans and the Sony/MS fans who also like Nintendo games (as a secondary or tertiary console for them). 

Wii U had the similar power and the same architecture as PS3/360 yet it didnt get nearly as many multiplats as they did in 2013-2016. Power+architecture alone will not gaurantee support.

Had the initial wave of 3rd party games sold well then they would have continued to support Wii U but there was little audience for those games on Wii U. People either just stuck with the PS3/360 that they already owned or upgraded to the the more powerful PS4/XBO and people looking for a budget console chose the cheaper PS3/360.

Thats the same situation NX would be in, the people who already own a PS4/XBO will either stick with those or upgrade to the more powerful PS4 Pro/Scorpio and people looking for a budget console will get the cheaper Slim models.

Why would Sony/MS fans by a Nintendo console as a secondary/tertiary console for multiplats? They wont, they will buy it for Nintendo games & other exclusives or not buy it at all.
