I am taking everything re: NX with a truck of salt until I can be sure Nintendo will keep doing Directs.

Speaking as merely one Nintendo fan, I like good 3rd party games (Rayman Legends!), not bloated shovelware (Polished Turd... I mean, Devil's Third).

Unfortunately, when other big developers/publishers completely write off your console because you're not in the graphics/power/catering to young adult men who probably drink too much Mountain Dew and/or booze arms race, you have no choice but to go it alone.

My spouse and I are perfectly fine with the Wii U, but that's mostly because we're overgrown retro gaming kids who don't fit in the demographic that the "other guys" love.

(I also own a PS3, and have been known to play games on it. Waiting for Kingdom Hearts III to at least get a ballpark release date before taking the plunge on a PS4.)
