They will launch mid stream against the competors. Ditching the WiiU much like Sega ditched the Saturn....

They will launch it will some of their heaviest hitters. We will see Zelda and 3D Mario within 12 months of its launch. It will have other great titles.

But it will not sell well as Nintendo had hoped and they will throw in the towel after 2 years, and announce they are developing as a 3rd party for home consoles, and mobile games. Zelda NX and Mario 3D will be ported to the PS4 and XB1 by CMAS 2019 and sell like crazy.

The NX will hold a special place in Nintendo fans hearts, many will say it was the greatest console ever and should have been given more of a chance.

The Wii U will have had 5 years of shelf life and Zelda will come out for the Wii U.

I am not convinced the WiiU will be coming out on the WiiU anymore.

NX launch is no where near the same as Dreamcast.

Additionally, the financial and IP strength of Nintendo is no where near that of SEGA at that time (or likely ever).

There is simply no logic in your OP at all.

This is the worst thread I've seen today. Not only has OP written some outlandish remarks, but the freakish-hybrid console purporters have come out in this thread. I just cannot win.

... unless the NX is a handheld?

I think you're whole prediction is off-center.

What "facts" do you have to counter my OP?

How is having your own console helping profits at this point? Having your own console makes you money when 3rd parties are selling games on it(where it stands now 3rd parties sell almost nothing on the WiiU) , you rake in the royalties, also when you have subscription services that are successful like XBL and PS+. And obviously you dont have to pay royalties to yourself.

I am sure if Nintendo went third party they could get a really sweet deal on royalies from MS or Sony for exclusivity, and with selling their games on such a huge user base would surely net them more profit.

Going console 3rd party would not prevent them from being successful in the handheld realm.

What facts do I have? LOL!

What facts do I not have.

For starters you should read Nintendo's investors briefings over the past 2 years. I won't repeat what you can read on your own. But to summarize, the NX isn't a home console or a handheld. It's a family of devices that share the same library. It will therefore have at least a 1st party library equivalent to their handheld line and home console lines combined.

Do you actually think that a console with such a huge library will perform like the DC just because you like to compare the U to a Saturn because it isn't being supported this year? So, do you now realize how foolish your OP sounds now? 

dont be so literal.

Another way of saying what I meant is the NX will be Nintendo's Waterloo. I kept it with a gaming reference.

My point is, the NX will fail commercially and it will force Nintendo to go 3rd party (where I believe they could have huge success)

Well I will say this ... NX is do or die for them. They can't f*ck it up like they did with the 3DS launch or the Wii U in general. 

But Nintendo should make a lot of money next gen just from smartphone games (love them or hate them), so financially they're in a completely different position from Sega.

You have no logic to support that. I'm not being literal, I'm being literate.

I read up on things.


I take it your a sensor. Use some intuition. I mean, look at the WiiU. Many were saying it would do well and carry on what the Wii had started, people with just a bit of Intuition could see its failure a mile away. I knew as soon as they were keeping the Wii branding it would be a comercial flop. Why? Because the Wii had runs its course, people were done with that concept, same way Kinect 2 failed...

It's far too early to be claiming any of this. We don't even know what the NX is.

I doubt it, sega had no strong IPs people would buy them.
