WHY should Nintendo try to sell you a console as powerfull as a PS4 at the price of a PS4?

Does this make ANY sense? NO.

If Nintendo did learn something - then that 199 bucks is the "magic" price for a console to be successful.

Either they can make a PS4-like console that cheap or they have to scale down a little bit.

Thirds will only come back if there is a big enough install base from the beginning and porting doesn't cost them much.

NX means that their next handheld and console will share the same OS and libraries which will have "similarieties" to Android so that mobile isn't that big effort anymore.

Nintendo has one big advantage: the next generation of AMD APUs or GPUs in general is going to be more powerful while costing less. This is of HBM which enables more bandwith using cheaper memory.

And maybe AMD finally gets their act together and their cores get a little bit closer to Intel ones.

We have to wait and see...
