You're completely ignoring the price factor. 3DS is the biggest seller among the Nintendo hardware and its price is less than a third of the PS4. Even the Wii U is a lot cheaper than PS4 and XB1. If they are at the same price level which would happen for a competitive console next-gen PS and Xbox consoles would easily outsell them. Not to mention that the library of PS4 and XB1 hasn't come on its own yet, and once they do both the consoles will sell a lot more. |
I did take price into account, look at my last paragraph, "at the correct price point". I don't think Nintendo has any plans to go for a PS5/XB4 level system. I think instead we will see the handled version be powered between Vita & Wii U, something that can offer Wii U like visuals on a small screen and lower resolution and the console version will be a slight upgrade over Wii U similar to the leap from GC to Wii, it will be able to run Wii U level games at 1080p resolution. Devices like this could feasibly sell for $199 in 2016/2017.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
