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.

They aren't taking any longer than any other company for the most part. Zelda's always take a lot of time to make. They have never been slapped together in a short amount of time. It's not much of a question of time for the difference between 720p to 1080p, it's about processing power. They are already developing HD, the big hurdle was already crossed when they went from SD to HD. They have reached 1080p before in games on the Wii U and if there were enough processing power, it would be that way on all of them with little extra time taken to do so. No matter what resolution you aim for with the game the processing power needs to be able to support it. Optimizing has to be done on any game no matter what resolution it runs at or it will run like a piece of crap, but that doesn't mean that there are no limits involved.

I agree, they will need that, as well as likely the same architecture and ease of development.
