Now Nintendo can afford to trick out their next system a bit more while still making it affordable enough to have mass market appeal. When it hits in 2011 or 2012 it should at least be as powerful as the 360 or PS3 currently are, and that would be more than enough to satisfy both the casual and core gaming audience in the visuals department. |
So the amount of money a company has dictates how powerful their systems are?
Why was the GameCube almost as powerful as the Xbox then?
Also, do you really think M$ and Sony has any more money to spend on their gaming dept. than Nintendo has? You have to remember that game systems is not the only thing that M$ and Sony has to spend money on.
My point is that the gaming companies budget has little to do with how powerful their system is. They look at the market and make their console as powerful (and expensive) as they think the consumers will buy.
