They aren't obsessed with small form factor and low power consumption they are obsessed with hardware with high profit margins hence low performance hardware sold at a high price which so happens to be the type of hardware that is small form-factor and low power consumption.

The wii u for example could easily have used 28nm fabrication chipset like the xbone and ps4 which would enable a smaller form factor and lower power consumption but instead they used 45nm fabrication which is more power hungry and produces more heat however because of the very low performance level of the wii u it didn't matter and not much heat or power was consumed.

The wii u design could easily have achieved far lower power consumption and been more compact using components of slightly higher cost. You have to remember the wii u design is very low performance not even comparing well to 360 and PS3 for many parts of its specification.

 

 

your BS never ends. Always lying about wii u's hardware power.

go troll elsewhere.


My opinion is backed up by evidence. Your opinion is not, that makes you the troll.  You made the point Nintendo are obsessed with a small form factor and low power consumption. If they were so obsessed they would have used a medium cost fabrication process rather than a low cost fabrication process.

To be obsessed with something means to work towards that goal very strongly, Nintendo most certainly didn't do that. However what they did do was make use of low performance components in the wii u for example the low bandwidth 12.8gb/s memory chips, 45nm fabrication process which clearly shows low price as their priority. This is not complicated to work out and these low cost memory chips are clearly branded and visible on the pcb.

You have tried to get away with a misleading comment in your defence of Nintendo. Why you need to defend Nintendo I don't know but I corrected incase anyone was stupid enough to believe your opinion which has no factual basis.
