Would PS4 like performance be enough for Nintendo NX?

I don't understand why you can't see them making a console that is more powerful that the PS4. That doesn't make sense to me at all. It's not like the PS4 is super powerful or untouchable in the slightest. The reason that Nintendo is making games at 720P is because they are limited by the tech in the Wii U, not that they are unable lol. BTW, Mario Tennis is developed by Camelot not Nintendo.

I guess my concern isn't so much about Nintendo only being able to make games at 720p as it is to do with the length of time that it is taking them to make those games.  I'm just worried that it might take 6+ years to see the next Zelda game if they try doing it at 1080p.

That said, you could be right about Nintendo wanting the NX to be more powerful than the PS4.  I think if Nintendo does want to make the NX a PS4 killer then the key is going to be that they win back those 3rd parties.

The issue when it comes to Nintendo and game development is that their handheld and console game dev teams were all separated. It meant that they were all doing their own thing and it wasn't organized or fast. But Nintendo took both their teams and put them in one building. They unified their teams so that their game development goes smoother. I wouldn't expect the droughts that Wii U and 3DS have next gen. If anything both handheld and console will be able to play the same game but at different settings.
