I don't care for those things. I only want to play a race online. And having to pay for that, no matter what additional things I can get, is not consumier friendly.

Again, I don't want discounts, free games and the current Nintendo online is ok. On top of that, to use the remote play I have to buy a Vita. That's far from consumer friendly.

But anyone is free to excuse on whatever they want to expend their money.

Yes, PC and Smartphones are the perfect platforms for them, and maybe could be the only correct answer to be more consumer friendly than the current situation

Nintendo always struck me as a company that puts Japanese consumer interests ahead of others, and it's up to Nintendo of America to "westernise" these interests. That being said, I think that Nintendo would develop games for fax machines before they ever considered PCs as a viable platform.

I have to say something that people seem to forget is that Games are an interactive experience something that cant be expressed truly though standard advertising practices, which is why Nintendo is taking Zelda BoTW to so many shows. Games that are super blinged out tend to get peoples attention. Nintendo has been relying on other means to get attention Motion control, 3d screens and such. And if that fails you end up with a Wii U.

NX is traveling the same route whether it fails or not it's same approach regardless of how great Nintendo's games play, if they don't look bling blang and the NX fails to grab peoples attention then it will be a failed product.

Most people are shallow creatures and first impressions are often based on what we see not feel, something that don't think is going to change eazily

I'm not fixed on these views so fire away

Don't call it demo then maybe a pre-release or early access :)

I don´t see Nintendo ever going third party but... I can see them making a partnership with any big eletronic manufacturer in the future in order to produce dedicated hardware or launching its games exclusively on that company´s devices (phones or tablets or whatever), in case they decided eventually to cease console production

Part of Nintendo's problem in recent years since the midway through the GC era has been they have really stopped allowing NoA the automony to actually do things like that. Even certain things are still on the NoA branch but more often then not, it seems promotions and overall tone is set by the head office in Japan which at times leads to some good things and at times, less then good.

They gave us Valkyria Chronicles, so it was worth it.

I still think a partnership with Microsoft would make more sense and be more beneficial to Nintendo/gaming fans than going third party if it comes to that.

It would ensure Nintendo could have control/say in hardware and as the primary lead company for the platform, they'd be under pressure to continue making a wide variety of content so as fans we could be assured similar software support from Nintendo.

But they'd also have their answer to a wider audience in the West/"dudebros" audience/third party issue and MS would be a very nice partner in complimentary content ... Halo, Forza, Gears of War, Killer Instinct, ReCore add badly needed Western diversity to Nintendo's offerings, while other Rare IP like Banjo-Kazooie could be revived successfully and then you could have tons of Minecraft tie-ins (Minecraft x Pokemon anyone?) which would be great for kids.

Third party IMO, they'd get under pressure from shareholders to simply make the same 5/6 most profitable franchises over and over again just like EA/Activision/Ubi Soft do. When there's no obligation to a platform, there's no reason to make a wide variety of software titles. 

Also not being able to cultivate an audience by having control over it means franchises like Splatoon, Animal Crossing, etc. probably don't take off. On a Nintendo platform every Nintendo release is notable, and a new Nintendo IP is given a lot more attention than it would otherwise, this cultivates a general audience base that buys most big Nintendo games. You don't have that as a third party.
