NX is launching in middle of generation, it's hard to have solid power, to offer something new and different, and to have affordable price, all at same time. With NX Nintendo is aming affordable price for mass market and something different from XB1/PS4 with new concept.

But fact is that Wii U was powerful enough to have FIFA, NBA, NHL, CoD, AC, Batman, NFS...Wii U actually had all those games in 1st year, 3rd party start abandoning Wii U after terrible sales, so that actually don't have anything with power of Wii U hardware. Wii U didnt failed because power of hardware, it failed because terrible and misunderstood marketing and naming, not unapiling gimmick, high price, weak launch and 1st year lineup, software drought, bad timing..

Thats basically what Sony is doing this gen.

Everything is focused on "gameing" and getting as good a gameing experiance as possbile for your $$$.

It worked out well enough for them. It could probably work out for nintendo it they wanted to try that.

However they view it as too much trouble, the competition as too tough (its a "red ocean" of blood, and theres sharks in it).

So their purposefully going another direction (the blue ocean), basically you probably shouldnt expect to get a system like that.

Nintendo doesnt believe it can do a system like it anymore.

Sony and MS both offer great systems focused on gamers with solid multi-media experiences.  The biggest flaw of both, for me, is simply that they don't offer Nintendo's games, which I enjoy tremendously.  I don't necessarily "expect" a system of my desires from Nintendo, although I'm not ruling it out either.  Miymoto said that Nintendo needs to focus more on core gamers because they are more loyal.  I think NX will - at least in part - focus on this audience while their mobile offerings target the more casual demographic.

If Nintendo wants to be truly successful, they should be targeting all oceans with their offering.

We're also hearing that it's possibly some kind of hybrid though that's a different scenario altogether.

I moved from Wii U to PS4, and like me a lot of people did too. A lot of my friends sold their Wii U's and bought PS4's and XBone's

OP you are so wrong, man. Imagine a powerful Nintendo console, where the 1st party games look amazing, with the backup of 3rd party developers. It does not have to be more of the same like PS4 and Xbox. I would buy COD, Final Fantasy etc... It would be like the SNES days, good console, great 1st party titles and a plethora of 3rd party games as well. 

Yes you are right. You wouldn't think people would go out and buy more Pokemon games after getting one on their phone but that is exactly what happened. It's crazy when you think about it. 

But Pokemon is a phenomenon, Mario is not. Mario is good, but it's no Pokemon. I personally can't see people running out and buying the NX because they got Mario on their phone. But they might get NX for Pokemon.

I also sold my Wii U and moved over to Sony and I love my PS4.

As a long time Nintendo fan I'm not expecting the NX to be powerful. I expect it to be fun. And I think we can look forward to many years of fun games on NX, no matter how powerful it will be or how well it sells.

Just show us what it is and how much it will cost Nintendo, so I can get my preorder in.

Most probably think it's as simple as power = full third party support, and while they could be right, I find that extremely unlikely. Afterall post Wii U launch the PS3/360 got many games the Wii U didn't despite being on par. I think not only will Nintendo have to have a powerful system, but also build a large installbase, heavily moneyhat, and change their image to fit with third partys. By that I mean make the same kinds of games so they get the audience that buys third party games, and I definitely don't see Nintendo ever doing that.

Pokemon Go is so phenomenal because it's interesting because of AR concept, but overal Mario has wider apeling than Pokemon, Mario Run specifically can be played from 3y to 99y old, that isnt case even with Pokemon Go.

Mario Run and other Nintendo mobile will definitely also have some effect on NX, maybe want be strong effect like for Pokemon Go (or maybe will be even bigger effect), but definitely will affect that some people after Mario Run and other Nintendo mobile games consider and edning buying dedicated Nintendo platform where they have full and much reacher experience of those games.

Nintendo itself said, they want mobile games to be bridge to their dedicated gaming platforms, they also said that before Nintendo games were games that kids first playing, but in era of mobiles and tablets now they are mobile games, and Nintendo want to people be much more aware of Mario and other Nintendo IPs through mobile.
