| Scisca said: I think Nintendo fans saying "I don't need power", "Nintendo games don't need power, cause they are cartoony" ignore the fact, that without quality 3rd party support, NX will bomb. 3rd party games are more important than 1st party games, period. If the console is weaker than PS4. people won't feel the need to get it, cause it's no upgrade over the "market standard". The Nintendo console will be yet again relegated to struggle in a fight to justify itself as a secondary console for exclusives only. Not the best place to be. I'd be very happy with NX being my primary console this gen, but it has to be at least somewhat more powerful than the PS4. Taking advantage of 3 extra years and the advancement in technology, being powerful enough to play 3rd party games in 1080p/60fps with the same graphics would be the sweet spot that would sway many people away from PS4/Xbone. Obviously, the online service would have to be top notch with account system in the eShop and trophy/achievements, but how hard is that? Do that and the market is yours for the taking, Nintendo! |
I don't think it needs to be the most powerful to be successful. It needs to be able to run 3rd party ports with little fuss. It needs to have easy porting so 3rd parties don't have an excuse not to do it. The big selling point should be that the entire library of Nintendo games will be available on the device and won't be separated by the handheld division. Like I said, if Nintendo did this from the start and made the Wii U a console that it into an HD 3DS player, it wouldn't have had nearly the struggles it did. There would have been fewer droughts too.
NX could be a success if it is 2 things. Affordable, and accessible. 1 game can run on 2 devices? True ability to go from console to handheld without missing a beat? 3rd parties would be racing to put their games on the system and it looks like SE is one of the first ones racing to do so. It just needs to be in between PS4 and Xbox One to do so.
