And yes, no one. Not even Nintendo fans want it. How do I know? Cause if you listen to what they say BEFORE Nintendo reveals the HW, they talk about lessening the focus on gimmicks and actually competing power-wise, wanting to believe the rumors of a powerful console. Of course, AFTER the reveal, they always think whatever it is is the best and will sell boat loads, regardless of power, 3rd party support, or price. "It's got ZELDA!!" They mainly want them to stay in the HW business out of pride, not because of what they deliver in their consoles.

Right, it's just a rationalization they have to make as long as they are following Nintendo.

Now, if Nintendo went 3rd party and, say, released fucking beautiful looking games that took advantage of the PS4, they would get over it REAL quick and purchase those games. No doubt in my mind. Who doesn't want a Mario 64 remake/sequel, Zelda sequel that actually looks like the bogus E3 vid, or a fully 3D Pokemon game, with large fantasy worlds, but can also pull off 1080p 60fps, without freaking jaggies everywhere. 

Obviously, if Nintendo did that are they going to refuse to play Nintendo games anymore?
Are they going to refuse to buy CHEAPER console to play these games, even if uninterested in non-Nintendo games?
Are they going to refuse to buy controller attachments for smartphone if Nintendo goes that way with mobile games?
If they would so refuse, why don't they say so when discussing these scenarios?  
But they don't go that far, since that would imply opposing Nintendo, they just refuse to consider the scenario in first place.

Reality is, if Nintendo changes business model for financial reasons, the hard core fans will follow along as long as games deliver.
