Very little 3rd party supports relegates it into 'companion device' territory for the average gamer even if Nintendo decides to go for a unified library. I think for the NS to succeed based on what we know of it and what can logically assume of it, Nintendo needs to regain its lost casual/children's audience that was stolen from them by smartphones and tablets. They might be able to do it if they leverage their smartphone games well enough but I have my doubts on that front. |
I think modern games are reaching a point in needless overcomplexity of graphics, where as long as this system is just about 1/3 of the power of a PS4, it'd be quite easy to dial back a few graphical perks, and have the exact same games running.
And even if if can't be anyone's primary system; Being relegated to being companion might not be any worse for Nintendo's main system than it has been for their handhelds. If by power of being portable lets it sell what the 3DS has sold, their lowest selling handheld, it would still make it one of their best selling home consoles.
