shigeru miyamoto wii u not really powerful.

I suppose it is true if you repeat something enough times people will begin to believe that it is true. The lack of real graphical prowess didn't hurt the Wii. The lack of prowess in the successor will not be what hurts the next console. Yet now it is a major topic of concern. Look the power of the Wii is not what hurt the consoles library. Developers can always water down the graphics, remove features, and simplify the controls. What hurt the library has everything to do with how Nintendo marketed that console, and how they supported the library.

Upping the hardware isn't going to mend fences. They have alienated developers and fans alike. Attaining hardware parity, and talking about reclaiming the core is irrelevant. Nintendo simply lacks the credibility or sympathy for that matter. They have spent generations seeding discontent, and they are not going to find a receptive audience on the part of developers or core/hardcore gamers.

Let me put it in simpler terms. Does anyone on these forums honestly think that Nintendo will be able to match the competition on the core/hardcore game front? Now if you answer honestly by saying no. Then the graphics truly are irrelevant, because the gamers that might see them as a plus will have no reason to abandon a better library. Now if you answer yes I assume you think third party development is some kind of panacea. In which case I am going to ask this. What is to keep these games from being ported to other consoles. Do you really think that Nintendo is going to pony up for exclusive high end content? I haven't been seeing them do that this generation.

Anyway the whole graphical debate is pointless, because the games will be lacking. Which brings me full circle to the point that has been forgotten. It is all about the games, and not how they look. Nintendo just doesn't have the games they need.
