| Guitarguy said: Doubt it. Nintendo consoles have never really been at the forefront of consoles in terms of power. The SNES was probably the closest to that notion but that was due to there being less direct competitors(only Sega really) and where there was an overlap in console generations as the SNES was released almost a full 2 years after the Genesis. Most do consider the N64 to be superior to the PS1 graphically but it came with some shocking drawbacks like limited texture cache and the excessive blurriness from the bilinear filtering over. The Gamecube was out-powered by the OG Xbox and let's not even get started on the Wii... |
The N64 was very powefull, quite a lot more powerfull than PS1 and Saturn. Sure it had drawbacks, but most of that was because issues such as the decision to use cartridges, and how everything was utilised. In terms of power, it won. (of course N64 had certain advantages as well)Game Cube was outpowered by the very powerfull Xbox but on the other hand, it did outpower ps2 and DC (which was released early, I know).
So I'd say that up to the Wii, Nintendo always had powerful consoles. Of course I don't expect NX (whatever it may be) to be very powerful. Which I don't mind.
