I wonder if Nintendo will ditch the Gumpei Yokoi hardware strategy after this gen is over. I feel like they kinda have to. As Miyamoto implied; They will now change focus as they no longer see themselves as obligated to expand gaming as they did in past generations - seeing as smart devices is doing that job now.
This should mean that they will now focus on providing gaming experiences for those who aren't satisfied with gaming on smart devices, and wants something more. What that "more" is remains to be seen. |
If you take Miyamoto's words the right way, I'm assuming the next console they release will likely be on par with what Sony will likley do. You got to remember, Nintendo at one point had the most powerful hardware on the market, then switched to a lower power, cheaper console and dominated still.
Although my belief is that the next generational gap will be smaller than the current jump. You can only make a game look so good. You'll notice it with Nintendo, but you wont notice with Sony or Microsoft. Thus the law of diminishing returns effects gaming.

Why won't you notice it with Sony/MS? They'll hit a brick wall too.

Look how good games look now. Without going completely realistic (which no one really wants), there is only going to be slight changes with Sony and MS. NIntendo though in 4 or 5 years if they have some uber powerful console you'll see a huge difference between the Wii U and NIntendo Fusion Plaform. People said the same thing when jumping from the PS3 to PS4. It's pretty much a PS3 game with more detail and a better frame rate.
We have hit a graphical bar where we don't have the time, money or ability to create machines that surpass that level. Until the technology is invented that puts an entire server farm on a chip for graphical processing we wont get anything better than what we are currently getting. Besides it's bad for design if you are overwhelming the user with crap on screen
