I question your definition of unique when you list the Famicom as being unique. What about it was actually unique other than it's physical appearance?
I'm just calling it out the way Nintendo has defined it in the past. When they say unique, it has always entailed some hit or miss gimmicks outside of 3 things that were truly one of a kind for the time.
I also never claimed all those systems were bad. But their gimmicks weren't what made many of them good, and they possibly could have been better if the focus was on power and performance over said gimmicks. The WiiU simply didn't need to exist.
