Why don't Nintendo just put the specs on the table like everyone else does? Be honest and people will judge if the specs are underpowered or not...


Same reason Apple avoids talking specs on their phones and use a bunch of marketing buzz words.  Specs don't really matter to the majority, only the final product does.

Apples (pun intended) to oranges... is the iPhone underpowered compared to its top competition like Android phones?  Is the iPad underpowered compared to other tablets?  Nope and nope.


iPad not so much, I would agree.  Although Nexus 10 is on par / faster ont he CPU side for 100 dollars cheaper (higher resolution screen too I believe).  As for the iPhone 5, the new phones coming out this month win the spec battle by a land slide.  Doesn't matter to Apple or it's fans though, nor should it. 

 

The point I was trying to make is:  nothing good would come out of Apple trying to fight the "spec" battle.  It would technically expose some of their bigger margins on older technology.  Not faulting them, more power to them, just saying that is why they don't.  Same reason Nintendo will not.  Many people (mainstream) will not view the system as underpowered when browsing through Walmart.  Why should Nintendo put a spotlight on something that will be viewed as inferior???

Trust me, I've been in Semicoductor sales for 10 years.  Sometimes you just need to know when to tout your strenghts and then SHUT YOUR MOUTH.  No need to fight you're competitions battles, they will do it for you.  THAT is why Nintendo will not post the specs.
