Do you think NX will be below, equal, or above the power of PS4?

Considering the Wii-U is more powerful than PS3 and Xbox 360, I think it's fair to assume their next console will be more powerful than a PS4. You have to remember that the PS4 isn't what the PS3 was power wise in comparison to it's generation. If Nintendo put that same horse power in a console shipping 2016? They would actually end up making money.

Only parts of the wii u spec is superior to 360 and PS3, the cpu performance of the 360 and PS3 is considerably stronger.

Nintendo don't like spending a lot on hardware but I think they realise by now the wii u was unacceptable as a console not even able to outperform consoles overall that data back to 2005/6. I don't know what Nintendo's next console is but assuming its not some low power android type console but a proper console capable of competing with xbox one and ps4 then I think they will choose hardware that is both low cost and has highish performance. Hence the newer AMD architecture which will be released in 2016. 

Of course we could all be completely wrong but Nintendo must surely realise that to stay in the game they have to be more competitive on hardware design. 

 

I think they're handcuffed. They probably don't want to spend on hardware but they know by now that they need third party support. Sports games get trashed on forums like this but, Madden is a pretty big deal. When you have a game console out that doesn't even have sports titles? That's not going to end well. Plus, they need COD... they need games like that which sell in high volume to average consumers.

The only way thier next console will get third party support is if their hardware/controller has parity with the industry.
