No, thats why I say notably  more powerful than the PS4. I just used the Xbox1 as the lower entry point becuase its the weakest of the 2.

At least i'm not worry about it, NX console will be announced soon at some time. Yes, at some time. :S Nintendo's top secret lol

Okey, that's fair, yeah. I think they could manage to make a cheaper console around 250/300$ and similar in power to PS4/One. And I think that's what they're going to do. Price is an important factor on console war xDD.

If this is true prepare for chaos to break out again from people who never bought the original and never intended to buy the next game. It would be a good move tbh especially if they also back Bayonetta 3.

I see what you did there. I think the franchise would do well on Nintendo

Me too. With some marketing, the free publicity they would get when they say this game is an exclusivity, it will caught the attention of Nintendo fans and, honestly, I think it's very, very Nintendo-friendly. It's not the same case than Beyond Good And Evil 1, because that game was unnoticed, with almost no marketing behind it, although with time it's caught a fan base which will surely be interested on NX after that. If this is true I think it's a truly smart move. 

Plausible reasons:

1. A deal, wherein Nintendo funds development of this title that is the developer's "baby", and also pays them to develop another title. Exactly like how Platinum was paid to make Bayonetta 2 AND Wonderful 101.

2. Nintendo sees potential in the franchise and believes that it can be a big hit with proper guidance.

3. Nintendo simply trying to build goodwill with both publishers and gamers, by funding titles that might not be the biggest successes, but may draw more attention to their platforms.

Personally, I find the first option the most convincing - BG&E2 is clearly a title that many within Ubisoft want, but which the bigwigs aren't willing to fund, so the game's development has been stalled. Nintendo funding it, plus another title that is a little more within Ubisoft's comfort zone (Rayman, maybe), would make sense.

I tend to be skeptical of rumours about Nintendo, if only because they're simultaneously one of the most secretive companies and one of the most frequent targets of fake "leaks". But aside from my natural skepticism, I don't see any reason to specifically doubt this particular rumour - it's entirely plausible, in my view.

Michel Ancel already hinted that the game is coming, but I don't think it will be NX exclusive, maybe timed like Rayman.

If true exclusive I'd get a NX for that game, BG&E1 is one of the best games of the 5th gen.

E3 Needs to come now!! :'(

The problem is that Michael Ancel works at Ubisoft Montpellier, not Ubi Montreal, and Beyond Good & Evil is his creation.

This is a crazy rumor, but I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be true. Nintendo has been more aggressive with its third parties deals these last years, and while so far they had only done that with japanese developers, Nintendo knows that they have to improve its relationships with western studios as well.

And Beyond Good & Evil 2 has been in development's hell. It was announced in 2008, 6 years ago! And we know nothing. It would be a perfect candidate for such a deal, because Ubisoft doesn't seem too interested in invest a lot of money on the sequel of a failed game (sales wise), and Nintendo would benefit from the loyal fanbase who could get an NX to play the game while also giving the message that they are no longer waiting for exclusivities, but also pursuing them.
