If the concept ever actually makes it to market, I don't see it doing anywhere near that. 40 million, maximum.


U really see Nintendo hardware dropping 50% next generation?

As a Nintnedo gamer first I agree with you to a degree. The problem I see if they don't make a powerful machine it will get messacared by the media. The Wii U was massaccared by the same media outlets that praised the Wii (not refering to gaming sites which hated on the Wii but major news outlets).

This will further isolate 3rd party studios. However I think this is already a lost cause.

What you propose is fine as long as Nintendo is prepared to expand its studio relations and even create more internal ones where they create more games on their own. They will need to get to a point where they releasing a game a month with their own publishing. Nintendo need to get into a position where they have a variety of genres that caters to peoples needs (i.e. real sports games, racing games, they usual 1st party games, a fighting game that isn't smash also less mario in other small games).


Actually I wouldn't be that shocked if a Fusion platform actually ended up getting better third party support than Nintendo has had since at least the GameCube era, maybe even the SNES era. 

Lets look at the value proposition here to third parties:

For one cost (relatively low compared to full blown PS4/PS5 development) they can make one version of a game that works basically on all Nintendo hardware.

In the past, Nintendo's handhelds had the userbase third parties liked, but the hardware was so outdated/behind that they could maybe only port games from 2 generations past onto it. That was the issue with GTA on DS, Rockstar was willing to try right? But the type of GTA experience possible on the DS was so far behind the console versions that it didn't have huge appeal to the GTA audience. The Nintendo consoles like GameCube or Wii U have more modern chipsets but they have sh*t for install base so third parties don't win there either. 

But a Fusion platform could bridge the gap here. If I'm EA, yeah maybe I do now consider a Madden NFL/FIFA. 

As long as the userbase is about 50-60 million-ish (both variants), I could see it getting decent/better support even though it really wouldn't even need it.  

well i hope you are right. In the end it won't matter I'll jsut buy the other systems also. BUt getting to my age it be nice to jsut have one system as time every year s spent gaming.

That's one heck of a prediction. If Nintendo plays their cards right I could maybe see it hitting 80m, but it's still going to be a challenge.


Nintendo is on track to getting 80 million hardware sales this generation despite making a plethora of mistakes, so if they play their cards right 80 million shouldn't be overly difficult.
