There has been quite a bit discussion lately about Nintendo's next-gen devices and many people, myself included, believe Nintendo is going to unify the handheld and console by releasing two seperate devices with the same architecture and OS with similar specs that will allow all games to be played on either platform. So how powerful do you think they will be?
Some people seem to think Nintendo needs to get back into a spec war with Sony/Microsoft by releasing a powerful console that will be able to compete with PS5/Xbox4 in order to regain strong third party support. Personally I believe this is a horrible idea and that Nintendo will go for a moderate power upgrade.
The handheld version will be a moderate boost from PS Vita, similar to how 3DS is moderately more powerful than PSP. The console version will be a moderate boost from Wii U, a bit larger than Gamecube to Wii, probably somewhere right between Wii U and Xbox One.
The storage medium used will be game cards, similar to the ones DS/3DS use but higher capacity, and can be used interchangeably between both devices so that they will have identical libraries. The console will display the games at a higher resolution, likely 540p vs 1080p, and have about double the RAM, 2gb vs 4gb.
Both decives will release in late 2016 at $199 each.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
