I'm not demanding a powerful Nintendo system. I'd like to see a Nintendo system that is on par and can get 3rd party ports. They don't have to make a TF monster. Nintendo could have easily done this but instead decided to make a tablet that is a little more powerful than hardware they released 5 years ago.

And who is to say that there won't be a online service charge this time? According to surveys Nintendo was thinking about that too.

You mean on par like the Wii U which wasn't deemed good enough by third parties? Being on par with the XB1 wouldn't cut it at this point because the PS4 Pro is already out and Scorpio isn't far away. If you want a Nintendo system where third parties can't say "not good enough", then you don't get around PS4 Pro level of performance, because the XB1 level is going to be treated as an afterthought in the not-so-distant future.

I have never heard anything about such surveys.

Nintendo consoles will never be "good enough" for third parties, and this has nothing to do with the hardware. It's about the royalties that Nintendo isn't isn't interested in discounting (or rid off completely) for the third party blockbusters. However, when there's enough money to be made, the ports will be there, which is why we had Call of Duty games on NDS.

And I really don't get the logic why in the hell there should be one more device to play PC games, it's not like we already had enough of them. Historically speaking, it wasn't until the 7th generation to have PC games on consoles other than a port here and there. If you want 3rd party games/ports, you should be looking at the devs on mobile. If I'd be Nintendo, I'd try to have as many indie/mobile/new dev as possible under your umbrella and publish their games in second party relationship as timed exclusives - the same way Nintendo did with NES.
