I just hope its more powerful than the PS4. It needs to be if Nintendo wants it to have a longer life than Wii U. I wouldn't even mind if they killed BC for this generation. I'm not asking for a god box, but 3rd parties can't be put off by what Nintendo does with the hardware. It needs to be more powerful than PS4 and still be viable after PS5/X2 come out. At least until Nintendo releases their next machine after. That would be the best theoretical sweet spot.


PS4 power isn't going to happen. Nintendo will go for a mobile-centric chip that suits their handheld as priority no.1, then scale that up a bit for its console brother (assuming they even bother with two seperate devices rather than just having a portable that can stream to the TV). They will go for a unique/new kind of device, they've basically said as much. If you want a PS4 ... honestly just buy a PS4 or XB1. 


I don't want a PS4 or X1. I want NX to be viable so that 3rd party devs could port their games onto the system. That and it be strong enough so that 3rd party devs don't abandon it the instant that the next PS/XB launch like they did with Wii U. I'm not asking for a god box. But it does need to be viable for the entire life of the console, and not just until the launch of the twins again.
