Rumor: Nintendo NX won’t compete with PS4 in terms of power...

Mabe but I still think they need to redesign their IPs...like someone said above Imagine a realistic Zelda and mario. I'd definitely come out the pocket for that alone. I'm just not into kiddie animated games. They need to leave that for the DS, and make the NX for hardcover gamers
Huh?
Splatoon?
Splatoon ain't selling consoles. Dumb ass Nintendo polices hold that one back.
It sold a milli to the people who alread have a Wii u. It did not sell any Wii U's
Playstation hardware could be almost anything and people will still go buy it cause they want to play uncharted. Nintendo IP doesn't hold that clout anymore.

I don't think you guys know how much money Nintendo has in the bank. They were stacking from the 80's up until the 00's when the Virtual Boy was the only flop they had. And while the Gamecube might've underperformed, the Wii sold over 100 million units and the DS sold over 150 million units.
Also, as a fan you might not see it because you don't personally care for it, but Amiibo is going to make them billions. Activision has made billions of the Skylanders franchise, the first two Disney Infinity games have made roughly a billion, there's a reason Nintendo's putting a lot of marketing effort into that.
If you then take into account that they are now venturing into mobile gaming (another spring of eternal revenue) and rumored to get into movies/tv-shows again finally, and they won't have to worry about a thing.
All of which comes down to this: No, hardcore gamers mean very little to Nintendo anymore. And as long-term fans that sucks. But just because it sucks for us doesn't mean it's the end for them, because they're going after the real money.

Nintendo is basically independent. They do everything in-house so the money that comes back is full profit. They actually have a smarter business model than the other guys, who had to resort to an "eco-system" setup to get the consumer to rely on their brand.
Those high priced AAA games are literally bankrupting third party companies in recent years. Everyone expects every hardcore game to have top notch voice acting, guns, cinematic gameplay, and online play.

Face it they are living off old ips' and rightfully so. Zelda and Metroid alone make it a interesting system. But the other consoles are just moving in a direction most gamers want. The Wii really hurt them but they made millions. The irony....
Y'all sound crazy
Nintendo is going nowhere and I doubt they'd ever develop for PS or XBox
They're actually making a profit off of their consoles BECAUSE they are underpowered compared to the other two paperweights
You want them to give up that niche and compete with PS4 & XBox when that's the one thing that'll get them in trouble
It doesn't even matter what they put out next, throw the fakkit with the pointy hat on the box and make millions
