I think the N6 will probably be about 2 - 2.5x as the PS3 and the 720 will be about 3.5 - 4x as much. There will be no doubt that next gen will see significant leaps in power, just look at the DS - 3DS jump. The emphasis will be on keeping costs down, and that can still be done with a console which is a graphical powerhouse, Nintendo made a profit (albeit a small one) with every Gamecube sold at launch at £149, and that was amazingly powerful for it's time. |
If they want to release a somewhat affordable system anytime soon there is no way it have much more power than PS3. Sony did an awesome job to reduce their PS3s manufacturing cost over the years. At the moment, if another company was to produce a similar console in terms of hardware they probably would have to sell it at around 400$-450$ to break even. Either they wait at least 4-5 years before releasing a system, they release a much more expensive system or PS3 will still be at a somewhat similar performance.
