| WC4Life said: I can't see how NX would lauch with weaker hardware than PS4. PS4 was far from high-end when it launched and sold at $399 without major loss. Now if NX released holiday 2016, Nintendo should be able to offer slightly more powerful hardware at $199 while taking small loss (around $50/NX). I also believe it will be backwards compatible with WiiU and makes the transition to NX easier. Crossgen window is growing and NX needs to be able to hop on that train when PS4/X2 launches. It didn't happen with WiiU since it bombed straight outta gate. Or... totally out-of-the-box innovation |
It can easily not be as powerful as a PS4 especially if its using mobile components, which I suspect. They will do that so they can share the same hardware with portable. Kinda smart because they will be able to get an even better deal on the chips by ordering so many of them.
