Honestly, we don't even know what the NX is yet. We merely know what it isn't. It isn't a disc based console. I think if we actually had proper specs on what we are talking about, it would be easier to predict.


We know that it's part of a unified platform of systems, we know that it's meant to absorb the Wii U's architecture, we know that it's sharing a library of games between a portable and a handheld, we know that it's tied to the new membership program which is tied to DeNA which is tied to Nintendo's new mobile initiative which is tied to Nintendo's plans to spread brand awareness for Nintendo and it's IP which is tied to Nintendo's recent plans utilize its IP in other media like TV, film, and theme parks, we know that it's powerful enough for Square to consider porting DQ11 to it, we know that the console is keeping the gamepad, and yes, we know that it isn't a disc based console.

I know that isn't much, but I think we can squeeze in a few minor educated guesses from the extremely little we do know so far.

You do realize that nearly everything you mentioned only leads  to more questions?  We need the raw basics.  We need specs, we need a price, we need a concrete release date.  We need to know the lineup.  We need to know exactly how DeNa is  included in the system.   We need to know what this means for the handhelds on the market today.   Where does the N3DS fit into this and will it replace it.  There is absolutely nothing that anyone has stated to disprove that the NX isn't actually software.   How do we know that the NX isn't a smartphone with a TV out?   When I say we don't know what we are even talking about, I really mean it.

Then it would have a wii u life cycle. I don't see that happening because it will probably sell a lot better than wii u. The only way it would happen if the next Xbox and Playstation are ALOT more powerful.

read the question again


I know. I just want you to elaborate on your answer.

Yes, it will all become a little confusing now. The NX will be available 3 years before the PS5 and X2, and by the tenth gen (if there is one and the NX doesn't flop) Nintendo's console could come out 5 years earlier than the other two.

Yeah because consoles and phones are the same business, LOL. An NX 2 after just three years is goodbye Nintendo.

You really think there's a chance that not only will the NX launch after only four years (sort of almost plausible) but then its successor will launch only three years after that? I don't think that's realistic in the slightest. That's a complete console overload, and that's coming after the Wii U's failure to stick. On top of it all consider how it can take years before Nintendo's able to develop enough games for their systems to make them more appealing.


Apple gets away with it with both phones and the vastly more expensive PCs. Why? Because the content transfers and the old products don't become obsolete imediately after. Nintendo can do the same thing with the NX line, and it would work.


I do think that sort of thing is something Nintendo needs to get on, but I don't think it would mean so many releases would work for them.  I don't feel like the type of person who buys a new phone every year or two or spends two grand on a laptop is the same type of person who buys Nintendo games.  Apple products are in high demand and hit every single adult demographic, including older people with well-established careers.  Nintendo products are...Nintendo products.  They hit a pretty small chunk of an already (relatively) small demographic of gamers.

The OP already starts wrong with the stupid thinking that, if a wii u sucessor releases in 2016, sony and MS would be retarded enough to release a ps5/xbox whatever late 2019.

actualy, as things are now, even if nintendo did nothing the chances are that MS won't wait untill 2019 to release a new console, since the x1 isn't very sucessfull. sony won't wan't to release later and neither ps4 nor x1 are very powerfull for their time in terms of hardware. that makes late 2018 a more likely release date for ps5/xboxwhatever.

then we have to consider the impact of wii u's sucessor. if it comes late 2016 and starts making whoever doesn't own a 8th gen system skip the gen and go for the 9th gen wii u successor, thus severely reducing ps4/x1 late 2016, 2017 and beyond estimated sales, the chances are even higher that sony and MS will release new consoles in 2018. maybe even in the first half of 2018 or, if MS repeats what it did with the first xbox, late 2017 for MS.

The NX will end traditional Nintendo console launches, so no. Systems after the NX will just be iterative hardware upgrades, part of the same platform with all the same games, just like the iPhone. So the NX console 2 will just be a more powerful NX console 1 with maybe a minor new hardware quirk and an update to the OS which will still be downloadable on older models. In fact, I wouldn't be suprised if we did see the NX2 in 2019.

Also, I don't think there will be a traditional PS5 of XBO successor, since I think they will instead go the way of streaming with PS Now and some sort of PC console hybrid service with Xbox, so no's all around. Also, we won't see a successor to either until 2021, so no's full circle.

you can't cut you BS, can you?

I think if we actually had proper specs on what we are talking about, it would be easier to predict.   For example know the power of the console and its cost really have a major impact on alot of these topics.   We technically don't know what we are even talking about here. 

"We merely know what it isn't. It isn't a disc based console."

you are 100% wrong.

Its a good thing, Nintendo launching early is bad.

it's not good or bad for anyone. what matters is what is done for release.
