Reggie: "What's the best graphics card we can put in this thing" THANK YOU REGGIE.

That's all what these consoles are about and what they'll be about in the future. CPU and GPU. Like I said, anybody can engineer greater graphics and cpus it takes risks to do what Nintendo is doing. They aren't playing it safe, it works sometimes and it bombs other times. That's how companies grow and stay alive.

If Nintendo just made a PS4 Pro clone with a Nintendo skin I don't know how great that console would do. But Reggie giving that parental control BS in rebuttal to Matpat is was terrible. He didn't even address the question... I'll wait until E3 to judge Reggie's 3rd party support claims.

How would the console be not as great if it cloned PS4's 3rd party and appealed to more people?  Nintendo hasn't made a great console since the SNES due to lack of 3rd party.  They miss out on entire genres, have huge droughts and Nintendo fans damage control saying they're not interested in 3rd party as much or hide behind the PC saying the other consoles are too similar.  That's not really the point.  All Nintendo does is make secondary consoles and some people want them to try to make a primary console.  Making a regular home console would not bottleneck development of 1st party games in any way, and the only thing Nintendo is good at selling is 1st party games and amiibos as far as consoles go.  If anything they need higher production values and simple features to make gaming on a Nintendo console convenient like good online, a hard drive for digital games, an ethernet port, ect.  I don't see how you guys are happy with buying a $70 controller when you didn't ask for HD rumble saying its innovative.  Not having analog triggers is innovative?  Every Nintendo platform (Handheld or console) has declined in software and hardware sales besides the 7th gen variants.  Their best console is the SNES and it had great features, they don't need to bottleneck themselves, limit the appeal and "innovate" for no reason to make a good console.
