Nintendo Switch

Wii U flopped at launch and I think if Nintendo were smart they'd boost their graphical capabilities to match the two other home consoles.

It didn't necessarily flop at launch, but it just lost momentum immediately after the holidays were over.

Nintendo can boost their graphical capabilities to match with PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, but they won't. If they do, they would probably lose money because it's expensive. They want to keep costs down before trying to push it.

I get what Reggie is implying about NX, but I still don't think it will replace the Wii U. It seems to be a "third pillar" console along with the 3DS and the Wii U. Of course, we don't know for sure until 2016, when Nintendo reveals more information about the NX.
 
Some rumours have popped up about NX.

Nintendo will not create an Android system, but instead will emulate Android games. It’s not something that’s confirmed, but just an interpretation of the conversations. (Think how Blackberry is doing it)
When Nintendo announced their mobile games, Amazon was very interested in having the games also be on the Amazon App store.
Nintendo games will be on the Amazon store on day one, or shortly after Play Store and App Store.
Amazon is asking Nintendo what they need to do to have Amazon App Store games play on Nintendo consoles
Amazon got the impression that Nintendo is thinking about emulating Android games.

It's a fake, looks like a knockoff WiiU.

Basically took the Wii U, chopped off the right end, and stuck on that stand for the Wii. Obviously fake.

Same thing for the controller. Just replaced the L/R buttons (analog triggers) like those on the Wii U GamePad, and then slapped the NFC chip area onto the center of the controller.

Overall, this whole video screams fake right from the beginning.

Also the controller doesnt have the Power button and later on the vid it has the power button XD
 
Most rumors I hear about the NX are pretty ridiculous or at the very least unlikely. I can see the NX doing mobile related stuff as an extra like with the mobile games they're developing thanks to the DeNa partnership. I hope moblile doesn't consume the NX as I don't care for moblile games. Perhaps a balance of both could be better, I'm not sure. Regardless of how convincing a rumor or leak can be, and I'm sure there will be some eventually, I won't believe it until it is made official through a reveal by Nintendo themselves.

Do you guys actually think that if NX could play Android or Amazon Kindle games, that it would actually sell well?
I really hope these rumours are false.

Android "games".

Unlikely, though it might be able to add some appeal for casuals.

It used to be Nintendo was 'casual', but now casual gaming is at a whole new level. The majority of popular Android games are just one repetitive minigame with daily challenges. No depth at all. I doubt Nintendo could compete with mobile gaming or benefit by trying to attract mobile gamers. The ONE thing mobile gaming has going for it is you can play it on your phone. All Nintendo could really do is either make mobile games or make thejr games even more casual than they are already.
