| superchunk said: They won't. Rol and I went around on this for quite a while in another. Nintendo won't put out a successor until 2017... 2016 at the earliest, but that is really stretching it. Furthermore it will be more similar to Wii U in terms of power being above PS4 but not cutting edge of that time. |
Nintendo may as well not even bother if that's going to be their philosophy. No one is going to buy a "PS4-four-years-late" console.
It's one of the main things that's killing the Wii U ... who the hell wants another PS3/360 level system? Nobody except a small niche of Nintendo fans that have been waiting 6 years to play 7-8 different franchises in 720p.
PS3/360 are cheaper and have hundreds of games and tons of cheap discounted games on top of a robust catalog of online titles. The Wii U looks like crap by comparision without the novelty of an game changing controller.
Personally I think Nintendo is probably done with the traditional console this time around. They are going to focus on making a tablet that can wirelessly stream games to a nearby TV when at home IMO.
