Many [rightfully] feel the same about Nintendo's games input.  Which has been mostly stale, from a game design perspective, since the N64.

An opinion they, and you, are completely entitled to. I mean, somebody must like Michael Bay movies, they routinely bring in hefty box office hauls. I personally find them insipid and soulless, but to each their own.

I'd argue it's a mather of bias. Because from your example (Michael Bay), I'd say both him and Nintendo are guilty of the same sins.

Hey, it's not like I give Nintendo a free pass, I've spent most of the last year ripping them to shreds. I may be a miserable pessimistic elitist, but make sure everyone gets a turn at feeling my childish wrath. ;)

I know who I am speaking to, Curl. But I also know you don't give enough credit to those out of Nintendo's circle. ^_-

Depends on what NX really is and if the games perform better/similar/worse than the other versions.

Although I buy most multiplat games for PC, the PS versions of some games have added value like crossbuy, crossplay and portability (f.e. Broken Age, Grim Fandango Remastered, Day of the Tentacle Remastered)

So if NX allows to play small to medium sized games on the go (NX handheld) and they are crossbuy/crossplay for NX-home console + NX handheld, I will probably buy a lot of these games for NX.

Hey out of curiosity how do Broken Age and Grim Fandango play without mouse and keyboard? I tried Book of Unwritten Tales 2 on PS4 and didn't enjoy using the gamepad.

You could be right. I do still play a lot of PS3 and 360 games. Just replayed Vanquish, gonna give Alien Isolation a second playthrough soon. That's one current gen non-Nintendo game I really liked. Love me a bit of slow-burn horror.

I used to really enjoy AAA games back when they were a new experience for me, when I wasn't used to games being so bombastic and such. It was something really novel and cool. These days, I dunno, I just feel like I've seen it all before, and that goes for Nintendo too. Maybe I've simply grown old and jaded. XD

Old? I am older than you, and have been gaming for longer than you.

Jaded? Yeah, that's probably it. 

Or maybe you don't try enough stuff. =P

They play fantastic on the Vita. The combination of sticks, buttons AND the touchscreen are superior over any other version. The PS4 versions are good too, the commands are well placed on the buttons.
