re: What are your expectations for the Nintendo NX?

What do you think it is? Is it just an extra peripheral and not really a new console?

---

I wouldn't put it past Nintendo to be either.....or both.....or neither.

Do you think you will buy it?

If it's a more powerful console, yes, easily. If it's a mobile device only, no.

Will it fail or succeed?

Depends. If it can get third parties, and that means being on par technically with other consoles, then I think it can be better than the Wii U for sure. So it CAN succeed. If it's too far out there, it won't. If it's mobile only, I think it fails, we're at that point where cell phones rule all. 3DS sales are slowing, and I don't think a mobile only console can be successful anymore.

Is this Nintendo's last console if it fails?

---

No, if it fails, I still think they have one more in them. And I think if this wasn't on par technically and does fail, that they'll give in and make that kind of console.

Does Nintendo morph into a hand held/mobile company if it fails?

---

Never. They want the console market back and they'll wither on the vine unless they do. I don't want to see them go hand held/mobile or third party. I'd be ok with them going away. Or at least, I'd never be a fan again, as I think they'd lose their entire identity. Their consoles are still the most unique, and have the most interesting games. And that's all because they control the vertical.
