NX Streaming - 

Hardware Cost - $0 (well ok, you gotta pay for the controller and some kind of cheap TV receiver)

Available to those who have a good internet connection, $9.99 per month gives you access to a wide catalog of Nintendo games, a good amount of VC content. Runs on iPhone, iPad, Android tablets, TV set-top boxes, maybe even (gulp) PS4/XB1 (though I'm not sure if Sony or MS would allow it ... or would they?). 

There could still be physical NX console/portables too because obviously not everyone is going to want to stream games or has an internet connection that's fast enough. 

But Nintendo has a pretty rich, specialized ecosystem ... could this also be where those rumors of NX working on PS4 are coming from? Could be on the Wii U and 3DS too. 

that sounds popsicle

Netflix style lol..... cause Nintendo is like apple and invents everything (that already exists).

Not gamefly or PS Now... but Netflix as your comparison?

Win-win.

But i thought a little different.

OK, nx hardware exists, and Nintendo develop games exclusively for them. People just buy the games and play.
For those who didnt want to buy another hardware, just pay for each month for a nx streaming on its other device(inclufing one and ps4 ), but you also have to pay for the games(at least the big ones).

Só, ninty would still on hardware market, developing games only for their consoles(bar the mobile thing), but their games will reach much more people(and sell more), and subscription for years would profit better than manufacturing and selling some more consoles.

I thought that was just speculation from an analyst. If it were true, I'd think it would be more about the NX allowing their consoles to communicate with rival hardware for multiplayer on multiplatform games or something like that.

I don't know about their then-current library, but this could work greatly for the VC

So like PS Now? I doubt they'd do that, especially at that price. They would have to charge much more in my opinion.

Sorry but PlayStation already beats that. Far more titles than Nintendo could ever have and for less cost.

The thing is the PSNow service isn't that successful. What works against Nintendo for a dedicated console (a very centralized library of family friend styled games) with a heavy dose of nostalgia may actually work well for them in a service like them.

Whereas Sony is more known for a wide variety of big budget, modern games ... people just prefer the regular Playstation I think over the PSNow. I think this concept would work better for Nintendo which has a more "cohesive" universe and doesn't really have to work about the third parties, that's Sony's problem with PSNow is how do you divvy up PSNow profits to third parties, Nintendo doesn't have that issue as they alone can support a streaming service by themselves if they have to. 

Maybe that is a "tier" of what NX is.

Free/Streaming NX - $89.99
Hardware cost (For small receiver + controller w/Amiibo NFC reader)

Dedicated Console NX - $299-$349.99

Dedicated Portable NX - $219.99

Now why would Sony/MS allow this on this systems? Maybe they won't ... and there's a good chance Nintendo may not want it either. Buuuuut, what happens say if Microsoft allows it? Suddenly the XBox One has Nintendo games and the Playstation doesn't, so Sony would kinda be forced to match.

Nintendo could actually use the two of them against each other to be able to have their network service available on both systems without giving either one a dime just for feature parity sake. AppleTV could support this service too.

Say $7-$10/month for NES, SNES, N64, GCN, Wii, Wii U, DS, 3DS, GBA, GB and NX titles ala carte, Nintendo could control it so that newer NX games maybe come a little later for people who have just the streaming service and cycle older games around. But I think a lot of people who aren't buying Nintendo consoles right now would bite. 

Unless Nintendo has purchased a cloud based gaming company or somehow built up the costly infrastructure for one without anyone finding out, then I can't see Nintendo utilizing a streaming service anytime soon.
