The console market isn't in Rapid decline. It just lost the Wii grand mothers. Current numbers are healthy and live.

And it wouldn't be affordable or fit in line with their stance going by Reggie's words recently. Beyond the cost of the VR accessories, you'd need a lot of power to deliver top quality VR experience- 1080p/120fps native

This is the problem I have with Nintendo's future, I simply can't see any tool which they can use to expand the market like they did the Wii. They could just focus on maximising software profit and accessability through the fusion concept but in this same interview Miyamoto said they want their next system to be a much bigger hit then the Wii U. Simply having a Nintendo console with more Nintendo games won't expand their audience beyond what the gamecube sold and portability is not a successful gimmick going by the Wii U off screen and PSVita remote plays inability to push hardware sales.

X1 is cooler and quieter than the PS4 (for obvious reasons) but my PS4 is very cool and quiet so both of them are fine in that department. Bullshit is being spilled.

Its actually the most risky one hence the Wii U's failure. NES,SNES, N64, Gamecube all managed to balance power and affordability. Investing money in something there may not be an audience for is always more risky then going the traditional route where you just compete for a portion of already established pie. Provided they sell the system a breakeven at launch I think the traditional route is safest, but it has the least potential in terms of making tons of profit

flawed logic.

It isn't about the high end race they need to aim at they need to aim at devs requirements which will get games on their console... perhaps lol...

i don't agree. Nintendo in 2017 can build a much more powerful console than ps4 for less than $300 and sell it for profit. unless their next gimmick is going to be expensive like the tablet is.

are you guys expeting a expensive gimmick again this time around?

I'd agree with you, but...

Reggie should get out and be heralded as an example of what not to do for good PR. Oh, and have Bill fire him.

Iwata should step down, but mentor newer programmers. He's a fantastic programmer, after all.

Miyamoto should stay and mentor newer game designers. Oh, and he should make animated movies, since he's an animator.

looks a bit incomplete:

we re not interested in high end specs (what i actually ment was standard tech, because high end is in the range of a 1500€ PC) because we missed the oppurtunities to grow and to expand and work towards what we were, what we are and what we wanted to be.

They can but they won't. 

NX Console will be largely built off portable/mobile components too I'd bet. Their job listing for a next-generation hardware designer specified they're looking for someone with experience with low power SOC components. 

Another tip off that what they're working on is a "fusion" type of platform of some kind. 

I think it will be more portable than traditional console. It's just that portables nowadays have enough power to pump out decent looking graphics even on the television. Just don't expect like PS4 level and certainly not PS5 level. 

could Nintendo board of investors vote to have new leadership if the next console failed horribly? changing people above and direction of Nintendo can help them. There seems a direction that Minamoto wanted and doesn't want to compete but they are part of the gaming industry and also need to provide gamers the current standard. Nintendo as of the moment doesn't bring that standard and gamers wanted to use normal controllers and no more gimmicks. the balance between innovation, price and specs should be there. but they need to accommodate other developers who wanted to develop on their system. i think the core nintendo fans would love 3rd party games i doubt most people would want 2 consoles a gen.
