I expect the next Nintendo console to be announced in 2016 and release in 2017, around 5 years after the Wii U launched. I expect them to want to move onto to next gen sooner than Sony, and possibly MS, which will probably release the PS5 in 2019 or 2020.  (Edit: After thinking about it,  2019 seems more reasonable.  This way they could help promote it with a celebration of 25 Years of Playstation.)

Also, if Nintendo is going to go the cheap route, again, and aim for HW slightly more powerful than the PS4, then they should expect another repeat of this gen. Core gamers, for the most part, are not looking for slightly better graphics with a gimmicky controller. They are going to want a PS5, which will probably be ~4x-6x more powerful than the PS4 and will probably completely blur the line between cinematic and in game graphics.


That is what i call an amazing claim. Have you noticed how few games we get today compared to last gen? I can imagine having 5 games a year. You should give it some thought. There are cheaper games making alot of money. Before you take next-gen for granted perhaps you should ponder on how viable the AAA game model becomes with the increase in specs.

Also, cinematics will always look better because theres more resources available. Unless the developer is lazy. Naughty dog themselves said that recently.
