| Cobretti2 said: They first need to catchup. Explain to me how they going to do that if they release in 2016? unless they release a 200watt monster worth 1K and sell it for $400 that by the time Sony and Microsoft are ready to launch a $400 machine the specs will be slightly better. |
Well Nintendo likely has no desire to get in a spec war with MS/Sony and the whole point of this is for Nintendo to become self reliant, increase software output and maximize software sales and increase profits.
HDS-$199, between Vita & Wii U in terms of power, capable of running Wii U engines at a lower resolution.
HDS TV-$199, slight upgrade over Wii U, similar to leap from GC to Wii, extra power is to allow games to play at 1080p resolution.
Vita has been $199 since 2013 and I'm assuming sold at a profit. It's completely feasible to believe a moderately more powerful device can be sold at that price for a profit 3 years later.
Wii U is $299, I believe at a profit now, next year will likely see a $50 price reduction and removing the Gamepad could easily take another $50 off the price. A slight power upgrade with no Gamepad could retail for $199 in 2016 at a profit.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
