| JNK said: NX will flop if its like that. The only way NX could be sucsessfull is to make a new wii, aimed at casuals people. All "real gamers" wont get the NX, they will get Ps4/Xbox one (or may have them already and wait for ps5/xboxwhatever). Why should i buy NX to play multiplattform games like Call of Duty and co if all my friends already own a Ps4? So we cant play together? Nintendo will always just make the "secondary system". No chance it could compete with PS/Xbox. If Nintendo really wants to make a console for the hardcore gamers, they wouldnt let the wii u die that hard. They would cut the priece, pay third party for games and co. Pretty much do, what Sony does with Ps3. If you had an failed console, people wont "thrust" you on your next system. First make all people on your last system satisfied, then make a new one. People werent satisfied with the Wii, so they didnt got the Wii U. People wernt satisfied with Wii U, so they wont get NX. I read so many people saying: "If NX flops nintendo will just make a new console again in 2 years, no thanks". And thats right. Playstation and Xbox do get ~8 years software support. Nintendo consoles get 3-4 years 3 good games per year. Also the handheld/console thing is just not possible as a reasonable pricepoint. Modern smartphones are already super expensive, and their chips are far from beein able to compete with PS4/Xbox One. The new Nvidia Android Tv box (Nvidia Shield) is on a similar powerlevel as the wii u, and its huge and need a power supply. Also how should x86-CPUs + mobile gpus work in a mobile system? To compete with Ps4 power level you need a mobile core i3/5 and a gtx 960m. Such a system will be incredible expensive and need a BIIIG battery. Even Gaming laptops have 1-2 hours battery life. It will get hot and need a fence. The new Steamboy is using a new jaguar apu, maybe NX will use the same. But it will never reach PS4-perfomance levels. Expect a little better wii u (no third party support) |
-I think with NX Nintendo is aiming new Wii not Wii U, they again aiming for afordible console with mass apeling things in Wii U failed.
-Handheld/Console thing is possible in reasonable price point, Steamboy have price point of $299 and with that price they probably have very good profit. Nintendo can easily make little weaker hardware that can stream games wirelessly to the TV with smaller profit or without profit at around $250 price point.
-Steamboy with Jaguar cpu will play PC games in 720p, so similar or weaker cpu could easily handle 3rd party PS4 games in 720p or smaller resolution. SteamBoy isnt incredibly expensive we dont know what battery have, but Nintendo device will be allmost certan be cheaper than $300. Gaming laptops have very big screens and very strong hardware with high resolutions, so you can't expect strong battery life.
-SteamBoy will play PC games in 720p, so easily could play PS4 3rd party games in 720p, we all know that console game requires much less power than PC games. That leads us to that Nintendo handheld/console device with little weaker cpecs than SteamBoy could easily play PS4 ports (minus some effects) in 720p or lower resolution.
