Well no shit console hardware is nothing without games, what is your point?

My point is a solid library of games (as in good quality that isn't shovelware) is going to do leagues better than "better hardware" or if you happen to give something unique to consumers that enchances the gaming experience (better storage system, region free console, steam like service) that will beat "better hardware"

Except Nintendo isn't using it in a different way at all. Thus my comment that the need to put software behind the strategy or quit.

That depends, is asymmetrical gameplay not a different way of gamepad technology? Are motion controls enhanced by gyroscopes not a different way? I'm not disagreeing with you that Nintendo had been disappointing lately.

I agree Nintendo needs to step up their quality of software, I just don't believe scraping "lateral thinking with withered technology" is a wise move. Say Nintendo comes up with a console that has a much better online store than the Xbox or PlayStation 720 or 5, or say Nintendo develops a console that you can pick up and play anywhere (aka NX) should that be scrapped for 9k graphic capability and other more powerful hardware that is ending up pretty much at its peak? I mean what if the next PS5 or Xbox 720 end up only slightly more powerful than their predecessors due to technological peakness and hardware capability?
