| t3mporary_126 said: Sorry but this is a very close minded idea. There will still be ways for Nintendo to evolve their console games and make them different and impossible to achieve for their future handheld. Technology is always evolving. Currently we have virtual reality and real time cloud based gaming available. Nintendo has unlimited resources of imagination and creativity that can benefit from those in the future and other unforeseen advancements in technology. |
There may be a future Nintendo console, though I suspect it may be something very, very different from the past and will be something tailored more towards the Western market (as the Japanese console business is dead, yes, even with little things like the Wii U spiking for a couple of weeks during the holiday rush). It may be more of a NOA centric thing to be honest.
The hardware that actually carries over Nintendo's existing hardware philisophy of low power consumption/solid visuals/made-for-EAD chipset will be the handheld line, which I suspect will indeed allow for TV play eventually. It's just inevitable.
It may even get them out of this Wii U mess a bit, if the next handheld can reuse or approximate Wii U engines ... Nintendo could move certain projects over or dual release them between their own platforms to be able to make up for their development cost.
