I doubt it will beat the PS4 in performance, I think even wishing for it to beat the X1 is pushing it. Nintendo is just not interested in hardware power, unfortunately

why should nintendo make a new console if they stay below the power of the X1? yeah guys, this is our new console the NX, it 25% stronger than the wiiu. and its  new.


Like I asked someone earlier, why would Nintendo make a new console that was a tiny bit more powerful than Gamecube when the competitors were making consoles 20x more powerful? Back in 2005/2006 that sounded like an awful idea yet it ended up being hugely successful.

they had realy working motion controlls, something totaly cool and new. and those were different times, hd was not a issue and 480p normal.
nintendo needs power roughly between X1 and ps4 to make all games in real hd and with a good framerate, and alot more power than the ps4 for 3rd party games in 1080/60 


That's completely pointless tho, the audience for these games will already be on XB1/PS4 with their combined install base of something like 80 million by the end of 2016.

Will the people who bought these consoles in 2013-2016 to play games like COD/GTA/Ass Creed/Madden/FIFA/Fallout/Watch Dogs/Destiny/etc switch over to NX because it now gets ports that are comparable to the others? That would be a huge no.

Are prospective buyers from 2017-2019 going to choose NX over XB1/PS4 when those consoles already have 100s of games that have strong online communities and are where all their friends are playing?

What happens 2-3 years later when Microsoft/Sony release new consoles that blow NX out of the water in terms of power?

Basically what ur asking for is Nintendo to release another Wii U, a device that tries and fails to attract the audience that plays the big mainstream western titles like Shooters/Sports/Racing/Open-World games. What incentive will people have for making the switch to Nintendo? There is none and they will remain of PS/XB/PC to play such games.
