So you're saying the 80+ million people who bought a PS4/XBO by the end of this year are going to buy an NX to play the same games they already can play because it also has Nintendo games? That really doesnt make sense.

And yes MS/Sony published games very likely appeal to that crowd more than Nintendo published games. The person who is a big fan of games like Madden, FIFA, GTA, COD, Fallout, Destiny, Watch Dogs, etc. probably has a higher interest in games like Halo, Forza, Gears or Uncharted, Horizon, Gran Turismo than most Nintendo games.

I think you really overestimate the crossover appeal of the majority of Nintendo games with the majority of mainstream western games. Ya a few like Zelda or Smash Bros probably have a bit of crossover appeal but the shooter, sports, action crowd probably doesnt care much about the likes of DK, Yoshi, Kirby, Pikmin, Animal Crossing, Mario Party, etc.

You also seem to forget that Wii U had decent 3rd party support initially, COD, Assassins Creed, Batman, Madden, FIFA, NBA 2K, Mass Effect, Injustice dod absolutely nothing for Wii U sales. NX will have a similar fate if its a $300-400 console with a strong emphasis on getting multiplats.

You think they'll buy a gaming tablet?!? 

Of course. Its essentially a HD GBA + Home console in one. For casual Nintendo fans this represents far more value then a dedicated home console which essentially just mimics another console they have at home and use to play their friends online.

 

I won't pretend to know what the NX is, but the logic driving the argument of a Hybrid platform being an obviously flop, but a 3year late me too platform (in a space Nintendo has lost all credibility) being a clear win is one of the most baffling debates I've witnessed on Vgc.
