By which time both the consoles out now you'd think will have had hefty price cuts so unless Nintendo comes in at a ridiculously cheap price, they still wont really affect anything. |
Well, they actually might be able to surpass PS4 and One in terms of power. But then what? Everyone jumping on the Nintendo boat? Or PS4 and Xbone gamers waiting for their next gen consoles to fire the guns and sink that Ninti lifeboat?
And it's not just power. I really don't care for that and give a shit about my gamerscore, but most gamers seem to love their gamerscore/trophylist, their friendlist etc., their exclusives of course and tons of other stuff. Nintendo would have to move lightyears in some points and have to do the opposite of what theyy have done the last thirty years in others.
It's by far not only the hardwarepower.
Then there's the Nintendo gamers.
Bought my Wii U last year. I'd actually be pissed off if there was a Wii U successor in late 2016. By the way that would probably mean no big Wii U title after Zelda U.
A 3DS replacement in late 2016 would be fine though and Nintendo could still use the same API and OS for both systems. The API hopefully not being totally proprietary by the way because that again just makes ports more difficult.
