Everyone has a good launch, unless they pull an Xbox One.  The Wii U had a good launch.  Every single console has to prove itself.  The Wii U had to prove itself after the Wii, the PS3 after the PS2, and the Xbox One after the 360.  When the NX proves itself, then you can tell people their arguments are wrong.

Additionally, in the case of Nintendo consoles, they have to prove that they can sell third-party software and grow their consumer base.  Just having third-party games at launch isn't enough.

This pre-emptive 'poisoning the well' is useless.  When/if it happens, then you can point it out and say, "you're wrong."  

Yeah the worse thing is that this is exclusive to Nintendo stuff

It doesn't describe any and every console war conversation at all.

On the other hand you have people speculating that every big third party game will come to Wii U with hardly any evidence.

Why do care so much if that's the case? This thread comes off as so whiney its not even funny.

Well, if NX versions of multiplats starts to routinely outsell their competitors counterparts them you can say you are right, but you are basing that on wishfull thinking.

You are the one with tired arguments to justify that NX can be a great console for 3rd parties and that the fault is of others.

Sorry man, I can't take it anymore... EA with lack of manpower to release ports of their sports games to NX when people here claim its easy to port and have similar architeture to PS4X1? EA if profitable can launch dozen of ports of the game to every device know to the man. They didn't on WiiU for obvious reason and that isn't lack of manpower. Your conspiracy theory is just as lacking as almost any other that exist.

Yeah, that brings to light a serious problem for Nintendo. Most people don't know about or don't care for the vast majority of quality Nintendo titles. Your average consumer just wants to play a few FPS or some sports games or whatnot. But then again the 3DS easily outsells the XB1 every week. So maybe not everyone is so ill informed. 

What is SW sales?

Also, didn't mean to imply that PS4 doesn't have any games. TBH, the PS4 is an amazing system with a treasure trove of games. It is quickly outpacing the PS3 library. 

Indeed

As long as the 3rd party is good enough for me, that is all I care about

yeah OP its inevitable

My wish is for Nintendo to create the NX as system with the same technical capabilities as X1, PS4 or higher. Let's be honest here: That's not hard to do. And it's not the craziest proposition to make the NX a success.

Don't be naive about software development. Even with a good development pipeline, it takes time to train staff and do extra QA effort. And regarding EA specifically - Nintendo and EA they would have to work together on high quality middleware for the Frostbite engine that nearly everything EA makes runs on. Most of what's rumored about NX porting capability deals with Unreal Engine and the Vulkan API. The reality here is that EA has only so much time and resources to work with Nintendo to make it happen. And in year that's given us VR, PS4Pro, and the announcement of Scorpio - you can be pretty sure how EA prioritizes any extra manpower they have. It doesn't mean they're unwilling to support Nintendo - they're just not going to go full crunch mode when there's other things that serve their interest.

This is common sense- if you can't launch a platform with the biggest games from within the last month or two, it's not a good time to launch. By the time that March rolls around - FIFA, Madden, and CoD have pretty much made the mark they're gonna make - so their absence from a march launch is nbd. By moving NX out from holiday to march, they effectively given EA a whole extra year to acclimate to the NX dev environment.

dont' forget N64 and Gamecube
