If anything is coming out this year it will be a new handheld... i doubt it will be a console, why would you release in the year of VR... going to be overshadowed by that, while a new handheld won't have that concern.

Plausible and intriguing, you may want to simplify it for everyone else though.

i am french, so i gonna try to make a post more short and easy to understand, but i need a lot of time ... 

The benefits of digital are not a preference. Not needing to manually switch between media is not a subjective benefit. Having instant access to your entire library of games is not a subjective benefit. It doesn't matter if people who enjoy physical don't mind those drawbacks. Those are drawbacks, and they're ones that lie in direct contrast with the kind of seamless platform Nintendo is creating on NX.

Nintendo doesn't have only one reason for unifying their home and handheld consoles. Nothing companies like them do is that simple. The reason NX will be such a successful platform is because it will kill multiple birds with one stone. Unifying developement doesn't solve one problem - is solves multiple.

I don't think Nintendo is trying to force anyone to buy both, but it's absolutely without sound logic to think that Nintendo won't aggressively push and market synergy between the two systems when they are being built from the outset to have such synergey without even trying commonalities, meaning they absolutely do expect a significant amount of consumers to own both. That means that the experience of the people who own both platforms will take distinct priority over those who decide to own only one. Nintendo is not going to make ownership of more than one device a prerequisite to enjoy NX, you're right, but they are also not going to allow the ownership of more than one device to be a clunky and unpleasent experience.

NX and WiiU will use the same OS (run on ARM) for easy games port

NX is as well a console WiiU handhelp and use a separate case for connect it to the TV for have the second screen (by streaming). But this case is not just for display TV, this case is a small serveur whose contained CPU, HDD and a lot of RAM. It will be use for storing games or other Data ... it will give us massively multi-player games (up to 100 players simultaneously) and this serveur will be used for cloud computing ...

Nintendo will launch cloud computing community, which sell small servers connected together via internet will form an infrastructure capable of providing great computing power to all devices to connect to one of these servers ...

If you want more information on cloud computing, google is your friend ...

With this server, Nintendo will offer an online high quality while keeping the monthly subscription without ...
I think the serveur will sold alone for WiiU and futurs games use it, that is why we don't have any informations about wiiU games for 2016-2017 ...

Yeah I'm beginning to feel like a cloud network/service is one of the central pillars of the NX after that patent they filed. 

For people who are unwilling to buy any type of Nintendo hardware period, they will offer the cloud option to still allow them to play their games. 

But the odds are very stacked in their favor. Most people who prefer physical media will get over it. It's not this "they'll either buy physical or they won't buy your console" like people are making it out to be. Nintendo aren't going to lose out on tens of millions of consumors because they have to download Mario Kart 9. And when that game comes out that forces them to take the digital plunge, most people won't look back, because the technical experience of digital is objectively superior to physical.

It's not a theory. It's how Apple built an entire hardware-software-firmware empire. It's proven to work in practical terms already, and it propelled Apple from being a laughing stock to the most powerful tech company in recorded history. The gamepad was a victim of poor execution, not poor synergy, and even then, most games absolutely benefited from the second screen. The fact that they exist makes them a guaranteed priority.

Why would you bring up Amiibo when it goes against your point? Amiibo is extremely successful for that exact reason. Of course people will complain. People always complain. Often times for good reason. But it's successful anyway, meaning it will be pushed harder. Unlike Amiibo, NX consumers will not need to buy "a lot" of things to get the full experience. Just two systems. That might piss a few them off, but you know how many people are going to not buy the NX because of it? Well let's look at the amount of people not buying Amiibo or Amiibo supported games. Or games with bad DLC. Or games with microtransations. Or Fee-to-Pay mobile games. Exactly.

I 100% expect for there to be content exclusive to specific NX versions of games. They're already testing it out with Smash 4 and Hyrule Warriors, and it's been successful. They are already doing the kinds of stuff you think they won't try with the NX now, and they're being successful with it.

Very true. Agree to disagree, then.

The main reason for digital only would be greed, ignoring that is ignoring the elephant in the room.

Digital only would mean Nintendo and their third parties make $10-$15 more per game sold since retailers are cut out of the equation and box/shipping costs are removed too.

That said I don't think Nintendo quite frankly has the balls to do this. They're too entwined with their retail partners, especially in Japan and there would be other downsides like a loss of retail space/visibility, every time you walk into a Toys R' Us or Wal-Mart game section it's a walking advertisement for Nintendo software/hardware. I don't think Nintendo will give that up easily.

In the *long long term* though I feel digital only is inevitable. Personally I don't really care that much one way or another, I just want to play the games.
