Yeah, N64 was a powerful console, but Nintendo`s way of doing business was what kept developers out of the console.

To me, doing what devs already do on PCs (scalable power) is the best way to sell Nintendo consoles next gen.
If Sony releases another handheld they will probably follow the same route.


Yep, exactly what I'm thinking. That's how this whole unified OS/architecture is going to play out I think.

I sure hope so.
With more people being needed for a big game, with more copies needed to be sold to make a profit and with basically no 3rd party support, i don`t think Nintendo has a better solution than really support their consoles 100%. Which they will be able to do if they go this route.

Crossing my fingers! :D

Hopefully being freed of having to make 2 versions of all their big franchises and making a centralized ecosystem that they support directly on their own could also spur Nintendo to provide a wider variety of games. 

I'd love to have them go back to arcadey racers like Wave Race and F-Zero or how about sports games like NBA Courtside and MLB Baseball? Or try new genres like RTS strategy games or a game like Raven Blade that they were willing to greenlight in the 90s at least. 

Really lessen the need for third parties at all. Time to expand Retro to 3 teams too IMO.
