| Intrinsic said: Yup I agree. The WiiU wasn't trying to compete with the 7th gen systems. But considering its specs it made it impossible to comoee with the 8th gen systems. Nintendo's horse in the 8th gen race was technically a 7th gen console. But yh, if Nintendo is smart, they should make a new console for 2016 that is at least more powerful than the PS4. But not only do I not think they can do that but I also feel it would do more damage to their brand than riding this gen out and that they also wont get third party support. cause then they will be making a proper 8th gen console to compete with consoles that would already have a 50M+ lead on them. Not a single third party dev will give them a second look. |
Again, I don't think that's the case. The Wii U, who wasn't even competing with gen 7 and released 2 years too late, got a bunch of gen 7 ports. And those had a 180m+ lead. A successor explicitely competing with gen 8 in power and releasing in a timely manner should have no issue getting some 3rd party strictly on the basis of similar hardware. I also think that the fusion model renders most of that inconsequencial anyway.
