I wouldn't call this a bold prediction.
It basically comes down to if NX will have backwards compatibility. If yes, then probably.

Basically.

I disagree if the name of the console is different. It's like how the PS4 has a very similar controller as the PS3. They could also change the look of the controller, but it still basically be a gamepad that comes with the system. You can just add gamepads for multiplayer and backwards compatibility.


So why release the Wii U gamepad as a standalone controller when the NX one will be different? It serves no purpose.

Because the Wii U gamepad would still be used as controllers 2-4.
