mmm i dont think so. Nintendo consoles are always underpowered, this one wont be different.

Snes, N64, and Gamecube say otherwise.

snes = like 20 years ago

n64 = disc space.cartriges anyone?

gamecube = disc space again. 1.8 gb vs 4.5 gb ps2 disc.

Are we talking about console power or format storage?  I thought you said "power".  If so, the Wii is the ONLY time Nintendo was underpowered.  Every other time, Nintendo's console has been comparable or more powerful than the competition.

most gamecube games were compressed as hell and the n64 wasnt able to run  mgs1 or ff8 and ff9,etc.because of cartridges. imagine ff8 or final fantasy 9 without cgi cutscenes....

they always make a profit on their hardware, thats their business model. thats why they are obligated to put at least some outdated components into their consoles. the iphone 4  , for example, costs like 550 dollars to make, the 3ds wont cost 500 dollars. thats why they added 3d, because they cant compete in the graphics department with apple, sony or M$.
