If you look at the history of Nintendo and their consoles, you see that they tend to release new consoles that lag behind in technology, (..)

This is all I read. Why? The first sentence is already wrong. They launched a system which lagged behind in technology (power-wise at least) only once.

OT (judging from the title): No, not until at least 2017.


NES Versus PC Engine and Sega Master System;, Gameboy Versus PC Express and Atari Jaguar, Gameboy Color versus Neo Geo Pocket Color, Gameboy Advance Versus N-Gage, DS ( all iterations) versus PSP, Wii Versus 360 and Playstation 3, 3DS versus Vita and IOS, and Android Devices, Wii U versus Orbis and Durango.  In all those instances Nintendo had the inferior technology.

 

The only times they've had comparable or better technology were Super Nintendo ( lacked external CD-Rom Drive), N64 ( lacked CD-Rom Drive)  Gamecube ( lacked DVD).


The trolling is strong with this one. The NES (Famicom) launched in 1983. It was third generation console. The Sega Master System (Mark III) was the third version of Sega's third generation console. The original Mark I launched in 1983. The Master System launched in 1985 with upgraded hardware that was backward compatible with the Mark II and Mark I (SG-1000). The PC Engine launched in 1987 and was fourth generation  console. I'm even going touch the more ludicrous Gameboy vs. PC Express and Atari Jaguar comparsion.
