I have my doubts that better battery tech will be mature enough for massproduction at a low price by 2018. Heat becomes less of a problem as tried and tested technology advances. That's why revisions of home consoles become smaller. But that's not what your idea is about. You propose to put cutting edge technology in the casing of a system that doubles as a handheld. This technology, at the time it hits the market, will run hot quite easily. When the Nextbox and PS4 get unveiled, expect them to be big consoles, just like their predecessors. It will take fans to cool these things sufficiently. The same will hold true in the 9th gen. |
Take the Vita for example, it was able to pull off something close to 7th gen cutting edge 1 gen later.
If the next U is released a half a cycle later this time, assuming the U succeeds and can permit that kind of delay (like the Gameboy or the NES), then with an extra 3 years it could pull off something like the PS4 some time within 9 years.
