Nintendo ruled the comparatively fresh gaming industry for a long period of time back in the '80s and '90s. Its motion-sensing Wii console released around a decade ago also gained huge success but its follow-up Wii-U turned out to be a non-success.

After the Wii-U did not live up to the expectations of the developers and has underperformed, all hopes have been set at the new gaming console being released, Nintendo NX which is supposed to mix things up and bring Nintendo back in the race with Microsoft's Project Scorpio and Sony's PlayStation 4 Pro.

Ubisoft's CEO, Yves Guillemot is all praises for the upcoming console which is set to be launched in another six months. "I believe Nintendo will be back in the race with the NX," Guillemot said, according to VentureBeat.

Guillemot talked about the console earlier as well, applauding the system with providing an easy to use setup as well as an altogether different experience from what is offered today for gamers. He claimed that NX is entirely based on a new approach that will enhance the gaming fun factor. Ubisoft is supporting NX with a range of titles that include Just Dance 2017 too. In addition to Just Dance 2017, Unisoft is trying to work out on some other projects too, but the details about any of them have not yet been revealed.

There is an air of uncertainty around Guillemot's praises for NX as it is hard to figure out that his glorification of the console is confined to business only or goes beyond it because it would be correct to highlight the fact that the system must strike a chord with gamers for the best interest of Ubisoft, which is in the business of marketing the software that'll run on it.

The system is being rumored to be a mobile/console hybrid, a probability that the Pokemon Go owners have lent credence to. It is assumed that the features and technicalities of the console will officially be released in October while the system is set to hit the markets in March 2017, which is only six months away.
