Topic: How NX could work?

Here's an idea of mine that could work really well, just keep in mind it's literally a copy-and-paste I wrote about the NX on a different thread, please don't report as spam, this is just a more appropriate place to put it.

I think it'll be a standardized platform for all types of Nintendo consoles, specifically games, so that game development is unified, like IOS. For example, Let's say the new Mario Kart comes out. Now, you could play grand prix on the portable system to unlock tracks while you wait for your turn on the TV. Once you finally get a turn on the TV, you could stop the game, put the cartridge/disc into the console, and then you would have multiplayer support and higher resolution+shaders+framerate on the game, and play these new tracks with your buddies. Then, there would be advantages to owning both the portable and console, development would become immensely easier, and the market wouldn't cannibalize itself like it would with Nintendo currently putting overly similar copies of each major game on both consoles, I.E Mario 3d Land/World, Xenoblade 3D/X, Mario Kart 7/8, Star Fox 64/Zero and so on.

We would only have to buy one game for both consoles, which would mean the perceived value of one game is MUCH higher then we usually see it. In fact, I think they could get away with charging as much as $80 dollars for one title, which sounds ridiculous, but the moment the customer compares NX games to others, the deal becomes odvious. "Wait, this one game is Eighty Dollars. That means I could clear all of the main levels on New Super Mario Bros. 5 during a plane flight/train ride. Then, I get home I could use the nicer controller and screen to make it easier to get all Three star coins. Add in the fact that I'm basically paying 30 for the portable game and 50 for the console game and this is Twenty dollars less than I spent on both versions of NSMB on 3DS and Wii U separately. How cool is that?"

And to make the deal even sweeter, there could be stuff that could be exclusive to each console, for example, Mario Kart NX on the portable could have more retro tracks available to unlock, while MKNX on the console has the newer tracks to unlock. If you unlocked the previously portable-exclusive tracks and then played the game on the console, the console would play these tracks on the big screen that before, were only possible to unlock while the game was in your portable system. One game would switch between console or portable mode depending on what system you own, but both modes are complete enough to warrant a purchase, even if you only own one system. If you own both systems, then this decent game becomes this massive, interconnected experience, and a deal that to the consumer, that is simply too good to pass up on buying.

Feel free to quote me on this come 2016, but looking at the game library for the Wii U and 3DS, it looks like this was something invisioned long ago. After all, if both consoles have almost the exact same games, why spend money on making two clone games when you could simply just make one really good game for both systems? No wonder Nintendo is so excited. This could absolutely monopolize the market if done correctly, and they certainly won't want competitors to get on this.

The NX could be a fusion of all their consoles and give a re-release to everything released up to this point, however, this is only a theory.

It was stated specifically the the NX would not be a "simple replacement" for the 3DS or WiiU. If Nintendo is truly moving from the PowerPC architecture (wich IBM isn't making custom chips for anymore) then the NX would have backwards capability issues, and that's Nintendo's bread and butter. This means the platform would have to be so powerful that it can emulate the WiiU or they will have to drop backwards compatibility for it and remake the games instead. BUT their may be a 3rd option. If the console is going to be hand/home hybrid like some people think, then the system could be used as the tablet controler for the WiiU and have a cartridge slot for 3DS/DS games. If this is the case, it won't kill the WiiU and 3DS(games) outright and be a temporary comparability solution until games can be ported to the new architecture.

The WHO just confirmed llink between wireless devices and cancer. I wonder whether this will severely impact the wireless devices market including the upcoming NX.
