This isn't news. Reggie confirmed that NX is a home console last year. I don't know why people didn't listen to him.

Actually he called it a console but never actually called it a home or a portable console.

He called it a home console last year. I mean nearly a whole calendar year ago. I'm glad there's more confirmation, but Reggie let it slip last year. Still didn't stop the speculation.



We already knew that.



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

I'm failing to see where he calls the NX a home console.

WSJ: Sony’s and Microsoft’s consoles have far outsold the Wii U. What’s your strategy to come out ahead? 

Fils-Aime: The time frame that these systems are sold is quite long, and right now we’re still at the very early stages of the current generation. The other piece I would highlight is this is a global business. Don’t just look at what’s happening here in the U.S. Look at what’s happening globally.

From a Nintendo perspective, we clearly have strength here in the Americas, we have strength in Europe and we have strength in Japan. That isn’t necessarily true of some of our more direct competitors. We’ve also said publicly that we are already hard at work on our next home console and that’s another element we’ll be talking about much later.

NX was the only  other home console... or any other console they announced publicly.



I think by saying the WII U will not be discontinued in the end all they can do is piss people off who buy one and get no new games whatsoever. They should just say its dead, and apologize for their bad support and false promises.

Miyamoto has been talking about a new home console even before the NX reveal. When he says that they have said they have acknoledge there next homes console, he is very well telling the truth. Miyamoto has kind of spilled the beans. But in no where in the interview does he refer to the NX as a homeconsole. Its very misleading to claim that. And its especially bad to use Wii U Daily as a source. They are a shitty site that is nothing but click bait titles and take stuff out of context to try and start a console war.

For the record, I think NX is at least in some form a home console, but its misleading to take a quote out of context and spin it your way.

I don't think its misleading at all. Nintendo announces NX. Then Reggie says they are working on the home console they previously announced. It doesn't matter what Miyamoto says. He isn't even a part of the equation. Reggie already spelled it out. 

Otherwise there were plenty of other sites that picked up the story. To say that all of them is shitty or click baity would be a little much.

I mean what I said is very relavent. Reggie said that they have talked about there next home console before, and even before this happened Miyamoto has said several times they are making another home console. So its unfair to say that he is saying the NX when Nintendo themselves have blatantly talked about making there homeconsole to the media on several ocasions.

I'm saying in general, its a shitty site. Every site would report on him saying they are making a homeconsole.

I'm not getting it.  Its not like those sites were making it up themselves. Either way we're both agreeing that people in Nintendo said that NX is a home console years earlier, right? Here's where reggie said it. Just so you don't have to see it from a shitty site.

Nintendo has already confirmed that about 7 times!

Actually, the most interesting part in the link is that devs are asking Nintendo to add features. This indicates a) third parties and b) the specs aren't set. The "features" that would add cost are most likely performance related. I hope Nintendo listens this time.

What's really disturbing is that 3rd parties are asking for anything. Already a bad sign.

True, but the blow should soften with the really good available library.
