Unless you realize Nintendo will not be using up to date tech. They never do. I see a some great new ways of playing games, decent graphics if not better than PS3, but will feel old in a matter of a year. |
Even then, Sony (and MS) wouldn't want to fight against a thermal and reliability nightmare that a overspecced (as X360 and PS3 were) console could provide with this generation foundries technology. Take a look at the top notch graphics cards, while 2 generations ago they used to dissipate ~170W, top of the hill graphic cards dissipate nowadays ~300W. That's because we're fighting physics walls here, and you can't dissipate so much power in the small housing of a console (that provides RROD and YLOD problems) This is another reason why this generation has to extend, the foundry advance has slowed in a big way. If 360 and PS3 used to dissipate ~200W when launched, that would mean ~350W in the new generation, and I'm sure they wouldn't want to do so, while Wii dissipates less than 20W, and Nintendo has much wider margins to increase this value if they want.
I can assure you something, Café will be more powerful than Wii comparatively, and PS4/X720 will be less powerful than their precedents comparatively.
