Is...is that it?

I somewhat get why Nintendo is doing this since the Wii-U is kind of a failure and a lot of people have lost faith in Nintendo...

But at the same time they're jumping the gun.

More powerful than a PS4? Okay but in like 3-4 years tops the PS5 will probably come out and the NX will probably seem even weaker than the Wii-U does now.

Not sure how the NX is going to save them anyway, most people veer towards Xbox and PlayStation because they don't want to play Nintendo's games.
Unless they're offering a ton of third party support people still have more reasons to buy the other consoles even if they're going to be slightly weaker for a few years.

Being more powerful than a PS4 is still decent regardless of what PS5 can do. The hardware gap has to narrow anyway as there comes a point where human perception just can't process the difference. Plus probably more importantly than this is cost. Sony could easily fill their console with high end technology but that's going to lose them money they can't afford to lose right now. Isn't the PS4 only just starting to turn a profit despite shifting twice as many units as the Wii U?

Nintendo actually has the right idea. It's not the amount of units you sell that matters, it's how much of your investment you get back. They know that if they use medium level hardware then they can sell the product at a lower price and produce more units without as much of a loss as Sony and Microsoft makes. Basically they only need to sell seven million units to turn a profit whereas the other two need to sell twice that just to break even. This is the problem with trying to be ahead all the time and why Nintendo is actually right.

Regardless, as long they keep making Zelda and Metroid I don't care. I'll buy it even if it's no more advance than a Snes.

There won't be a PS5 though, Steam Machine is the way to go.

That most people will just jump on over to the more powerful consoles and the NX will just trail off half way through it's life span.

Less and less people seem to want to play what Nintendo offers each generation so that's going to catch up with them sooner or later, especially if the NX has as weak a line up as the Wii-U did to begin with.

Not true. The hand held systems show how popular Nintendo still is. All they need to do is not come across as outdated and they need to produce plenty of games. The third party thing is a nonsense. Nintendo's own games are enough to sell consoles. Smash Bros, Mario Kart and Zelda are all they need. Those games print money.

The NX will probably be a bit more powerful than they say it will, things change over time.

Either way, Nintendo always has handhelds to fall back on, the 3DS itself sells a lot still.

yeah, but where does that logic end? if a potential ps5 is more powerful than the nx, you're also saying that people will jump off the ps5 and go on to get the successor to nx because that in turn will probably be more powerful than the ps5, repeat ad infinitum.

It is true, the DS's are the only things that really sell well and people care more and more about hardware these days as well as game lineups, Nintendo's is pretty poor without third party support unless you like all or most of the IP's there's not much to play whereas every other platform has hundreds of games within a few years.

The only reason Nintendo consoles sell is because they're the only place to get Nintendo games if anyone made a game like Pokémon or Zelda that Nintendo couldn't just sue them for they'd take a huge hit.

Not really 'cause like I said people have far less faith in Nintendo these days. The Wii-U had a pretty awful launch even though it came out while the PS3 and 360 were still going.

This is a really dumb move to make because it means Nintendo's consoles have to survive on a few launch titles while the other consoles will be nearing their peak game quality.
At this point they really need the third party support because if the NX comes out while say games like The Last Of Us 2 come out people are going to care far more about those than a decent launch title or two like Zelda and huge gaps between anything remarkable.
