That's all. In consoles, the Wii was basically smilar to the PS2/Xbox (probably about like Xbox in power). Being a 50% overclocked Gamecube with added RAM. Now the Wii U is basically on par with PS3/360.
Same in handhelds. DS was a gen behind PSP, and I dont follow handhelds but I'd guess 3DS is in PSP's class, where Vita is a gen beyond that.
So yep, not big revelation or statement here. One thing that interests me is if diminishing returns start kicking in, maybe one day Nintendo's strategy might work as the difference would shrink each gen. For now though, it's obviously not working out for Wii u at all. |
The DS and 3ds thing is somewhat true, but nothing else is. The wii signifcantly stronger than the gamecube, and the wiiu still is stronger than last gen. Just not a ton. Also, the previous two gens before the wii nintendo had bad sales. So, basically everything, including your edit is wrong. They weren't competitive, they were actually stronger than their sony rivals. They just gimped both in some way. That's nintendo's issue, they gimp every one of their consoles.
