So was the 3DS when it came out, Wii when it came out, and Wii U when it came out. I find it hard to believe Nintendo will ever again be hardware competitive, it just isn't how they operate, it hasn't been for over a decade. |
3DS wasn't designed to be a unified platform though, I think NX is exactly that. You can't have monstrous gaps between your console/handheld hardware if you want a unified platform.
3DS also has a very expensive 3D screen, something likely Nintendo will drop next time out. Dump that and you suddenly have a lot of money in your budget for a very powerful chip.
And the 3DS for a chip that was intended for a 2010 launch, isn't that terrible of a GPU actually. It's not the best they could've used but it's far from the worst.
