| Soundwave said: Basically if you want to see Nintendo's next console, it'll basically be this IMO ... something barely bigger than a deck of playing cards:
Just far better executed than Sony's attempt and using 2015-era mobile chips it'll be able to appromixate Wii U engines. The same "chipset" more or less will also be in a corresponding Nintendo portable. You can choose if you want one, the other, or both. Just like some people have an iPhone, some people have an iPad, some people have both ... but Apple sells them all the same apps. |
I don't know what Nintendo will do for their next hardware but if you believe that they will be able to produce better hardware than SONY I think you will be very disappointed.
They still know how to do great games but are far behind for the rest (hardware, Steam-ish unified account, PS+/XLiveGold services, easy/fast/ergonomic UI, modern social integration share/pic/videos/twitch etc.)
They won't do games in the mobile marketplace. I mean they are used to sell their mario games at 50€ piece, that model doesn't work in mobile where games are cheap.
They still search for a easy Wii-type cash cow or apple-cash system. But they will fail to repeat their Wii success again (relatively, they have enough cash to sustain like 3 generation of hardware) because they don't know anymore how to do hardware.
Sony has success with the PS4 (even XB1 has some success) because of western people; they weren't afraid to nominate westerners into high positions inside the company. (Cerny lead architect of PS4, Tretton CEO of Sony US when Iwata is CEO of Nintendo US, Naughty dog and others western first parties which have full autonomy on their games etc.).
