The guy seems a bit biased, by the way. I mean, he's expecting the NX to be a high end mid range PC power. Nobody is expecting that. And I prefer them to keep it cheap. Good mid range PC is enough, because Nintendo games are not that demanding, and if it has the same power as PS4/One, third parties could jump in the NX bandwagon (no excuses now because of console power). Also, the comment about the prize? What the hell? Nintendo is not precisely the company which makes the consoles pricier. WiiU, maybe, because of the Gamepad, which is rather expensive. Another guy implying Nintendo fans are "fanboys" and that we will bit it up for 400$. There's no way the console will cost more than 350 (my bet will be 300, but who knows). Unless Nintendo lost their minds. That's nice. Fuck off. Anybody expecting a one generational jump right now is a bit crazy. There's no point in doing that.

Satoru Iwata himself said ones that the only reason what held back Nintendo Wii U was not the price, it was the less 3rd party support! And I agree with him, if people want something really bad than the price doesen't matter! Kid buy today 600 Dollar Smartphones or 500 Dollar Tablets, if they really want it they buy it. And thats the reason why Nintendo really should release a more powerfull console for 400 or even 500 Dollar. If it's a cool console with alot of power than people will buy it also for 1000 Dollar ;)

The price really matters. I can assure that there's no way in hell I'll buy a console for 600 dollars, and I'm sure a lot of people feel the same. I don't have that money to spend. And what advantage will take Nintendo of that extra-power? Nintendo can surely make great looking games in the NX if it has the same power as PS4/One and, let's be honest, I don't think there will be a lot of third party exclusive support, there will be ports of PS4/One games, best case scenario. So what's the point on making an expensive console if you won't have any advantage out of it? You won't take any benefit of that extra-power. Sure, first party games could look better, but with a PS4/One power console, Nintendo could manage to do wonders.

It will matter from day 1. No one gets excited for a system that's basically the same thing as something else that launched 3-4 years earlier?

Would you be excited about the smartphone that's as powerful as iPhone 5? Yeah it can run the same apps, but so what? 

This strategy only works if you have a groundbreaking, earth shattering, stop everything you have to try this type of other aspect to their hardware like the Wiimote was to the year 2006. 

PS4/XB1 is crap hardware by today's standards, even Sony is apparently making something double the PS4 for $400 in PS4K, you will have tablets as powerful as the XB1 at least quite soon. 

Speaking of the PS4K, if I were a PS4 owner right now,  I think I'd be really upset.  They buy a console with no real worthwhile exculsives other than Bloodborne on the promise that great exclusive games are going to come in the future and now that the time is near, Sony unveils a new PS4 that makes the one they already own look like a piece of shit.  The big spit in the face to me is that early adopters don't even have the comfort of knowing that they were able to play great games earlier than those that waited because a significant number of the notable games that came out for the first two years of the PS4's lifespan were cross-generational or remasters.  Aside from getting to play Bloodborne a year early, I don't think there were many positives in being an early PS4 adopter.  I'd imagine the anger I'd feel would be like how some Wii U owners felt when they started to realize that Zelda U was going to be cross-generational  -- except significantly worse.

At least Nintendo had the decency to release the n3DS when the 3DS already had years of great exclusive games.

As an early adopter, I take comfort in the fact that I got to play PT a dozen times, and anybody who ever buys a ps4k will never, ever, ever be able to play it.

Sweet now lets see if NX games will noticeably be better than PS4/XB1 because that's the only thing that actually matters in this console war.

I find comparing specs between consoles to be such a minuscule debate where it really just comes down to the games. It's not like a huge gap compared to consoles vs PC.

...and being released 3yrs after their competitors the NX CPU better be more powerful lol

And it's just a CPU

If it include more RAM, more powerful GPU then it would be a diffirent story

I was expecting, and kind of hoping for NX to be a weak, $250 system. Nintendo games don't need spectacular hardware, and I already have a midrange PC for multiplats. I would've bought the thing at launch, which is something I have never done. Hopefully they can keep the price at $300. Any more and they run a serious risk of repeating the Wii U's mistake.

The guy leaked info regarding the Wii's CPU, so I think it's safe to believe what he says.

If true, I'll be disappointed - unless the NX can boost its power some other way, which certain patents have suggested. Or if the NX is a handheld, I'll be more than pleased with that CPU

A handheld won't have a CPU that's more powerful than the PS4/Xbone's lol.

Yeah, I know, but I'm living on hope here. If the NX is slightly more powerful than the PS4, Nintendo will have big troubles yet again. Unless it's a hybrid of some kind



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

IMO Wii U games are on pair or better than PS4/XB1 games despite Wii U is so much weaker, hardware really doesn't effect on that if games are good or bad.

Wrong. You are totally wrong if you think that less 3rd party support is only thing that held back Wii U, Wii U was bloody mess, and high price compared to competition is definitely one of reasons why Wii U failed. You need to realise when Wii U launched had similar power like PS3/Xbox360, played exactly same multiplatform games without almost any difference (actually some 3rd party games worked and looked worse on Wii U) while had around $100 higher price point than PS3/Xbox360, even now Wii U is just $50 less expensive than PS4/XB1, and thats just crazy. Also Miyamoto stated that Wii U had higher price than they wanted.

Nintendo needs to release console that have similar price point like competition, if they have better hardware or they offer some cool new feature they could price it little above ($50), but point is they need to have similar price like competition if they offering similar things.

Saying that, Nintendo can release NX at end of 2016. with hardware little stronger than PS4 and to have price of $299, and $299 price point for console is magic price.

This makes no sense whatsoever.

So you think that Nintendo making the NX anymore than $300 would be repeating the Wii U's mistake, but making the hardware weak as fuck WOULDN'T be repeating the Wii U's mistake?

Come on bruh.  You got it backwards.

I doubt the majority of console gamers would notice if Nintendo used a slower CPU than the Playstation 4, heck even the Playstation 3 in real gaming scenario's.
It's generally not what draws the pretty pictures on the screen and used in advertising.
