It's relevant because Nintendo's fanbase is shrinking and once these Nintendo fans get another company's system and see the huge amount of games to choose from, next time around they skip the Nintendo system altogether.

No, come on. 

Skipping the next Nintendo system means skipping out on the real reason anyone should be buying Nintendo hardware to begin with: Nintendo IPs. 

Some gamers will grow out of them. Some may go back into them when they have kids. Regardless, there's always going to be a fanbase for Nintendo IP games sure as there will always be a market for Disney animated films. 

If anyone is still buying Nintendo consoles for the fantastic 3rd party support after the Wii, I don't know what to tell them. Adjust your expectations in line with reality?

I'm not trying to be mean here, but there is such a thing as making informed decisions as a consumer based upon the volumes of information available. 

Excellent point here. Nintendo is not doomed. There will always be a market for Nintendo's games. 

But Nintendo systems need to appeal to a mass market audience similar to Disney animated films. That's why when I see all the rumors about how the NX will have Zen architecture with Polaris gpu graphics I just shake my head. That system would cost $500 bucks. The mass market won't pay that much for a Nintendo system. And I know Nintendo knows this to.

So the million dollar question is, what is the NX? 



   

Hey! They got SONY on my amiibo! Wait a minute. Two great gaming tastes that game great together!

Oooooo you missed Mario Galaxy and Mario 3d Land, if you enjoyed Mario 64/Sunshine you should definitely try to get your hands on those.

I bought a PS4 because I had to much free time and not enough games I really wanted on my WII-U, never looked back, love the console, love many of the games on it. So I Agree 100%, I always thought Nintendo made the best games, before I played trough those naughty dog remasters ^_^

Well if you can afford both, then the answer is always to get both (assuming you won't want to support the exploitative format split between the three major players)
But if money's tight and you have to make a choice... yeah, I think Nintendo are on the way out of the home console market.
We'll have to wait and see if the NX does well (or what the hell the NX even is for that matter) but I'm seriously worried about Nintendo at the moment.

Wow if your only home console is a Nintendo console and you don't have a PC, you have missed SOOOOO much in gaming.

Anyway, I'm not sure why it's considered relevant that a dyed in the wool Nintendo fan bought a PS4.

Did he write a manifesto swearing off his allegiance to a Nintendo Corporation that has utterly failed him as a consumer? Did he declare he's "outgrown" Nintendo and has moved on to a Playstation lifestyle?

Maybe he should have just waited for the NX seeing as how it's due in less than a year.

Or maybe he just bought a second console in one generation, which is pretty normal for a video game fan.

From what I could tell is he is upset Nintendo annouced NX and killed Wii U's momentum  and anychace it had at 3rd party support lol.

So the noob went out and got a PS4 instead because Wii U won't have games due to NX lol.

Honestly he should have just shut up and bought a PS4 anyway so many good games to play that won't ever be on a Nintendo platorm anyway lol.

Who only has a Nintendo console these days? After the 6th gen, it wasn't an option for me anymore.
