And that is why Nintendo has been acting so dumb lately - rediculously low power requirements.  Just increasing their power usage from 35 - 75w could net them 3-4x the performance!!!   The PS4 uses 150w and that thing is quiet and cool running as hell!

If by "lately" you mean the past 20 years sure. 

The Wii, Wii U, GameCube, N64, SNES, and NES combined don't consume 150 watts running games simultaneously, probably not even 100 watts. 

If they want to compete with Sony honestly they should just approach Microsoft and seek out an alliance and focus more on portables beyond that. There isn't room for three consoles that do the exact same thing, never has been in this business. 

 

Well yeah but nothing used much power before the PS2 era.   Even desktop cards were tiney because they hadn't been scaled up yet.  I am saying in the past 15 years everyone but Nintendo figured out that to have a decent gaming rig you need to use over 100w.
