Nintendos NX console may not compete with Xbox one and PS4

A rumor has began to spread and it's about Nintendos new NX console. A guy by the name of Liam Robertson took to Twitter today to announce that the NX will not be competing with the Xbox One or the PS4 on a power level. Now to be fair this could just be a wild out there statement, anyone could make such a prediction, but this person in particular has predicted quite a few things such as PS4's uncharted collection,  Fall Out 4's pip boy edition and he's also predicted Zombi U is coming to Xbox one and PS4 which is very likely at this point. So you can say this guy has some inside information. You can see the tweet here.

To be fair though it's a very broad tweet. So far we've heard that the NX could be a android based system, we've also heard the system could be a hand held or some sort of home console / hybrid hand held device which you'd never expect to compete on a Ps4 Power level. All we really know so far the NX is creating a huge storm within the gaming industry. 

As expected though, Nintendo fans have reacted pretty badly to the tweet, many suggesting that it just sounds like the Wii U mark 2 or claiming that Nintendo is really out of touch with the fans and are going the way of Sega. You can't really blame the fans though when in the past you've had beast consoles such as the Nintendo 64 and the Nintendo Game Cube. A lot of Nintendo fans have also claimed they just couldn't handle another gimmick console. 

If Nintendo really are going down the path of a mediocre powered system again one must wonder how they're going to get 3rd party developers that work on the PS4 and Xbox one on board. The thing that has pretty much single handedly killed the Wii U is the lack of 3rd party support. Although if they go down the route of a android based system they'll be able to receive 3rd party support from all the mobile game apps and indie developers that current flood the android market. It would be interesting to see how a android based home system would work. 

The facts are Nintendo can not afford to have another Wii U. They need to bring something to the table that's completely left field, that will blow people away. It needs to be the opposite of what the Nintendo brand has been producing and it definitely needs to take it up to their competitors in Xbox One and PS4 to show they're still a legitimate gaming company in the industry.
