They just had to troll us with "industry leading specs" dammit. I remember when OG Wii was supposed to make us say "wow" with the graphics.

Now If Nintendo released dev kits in 2016 I'd be a little more optimistic, but 2015...I suppose they could give powerful 28nm kits, within the ballpark of the final product locked down in the much more power efficient 14/16nm... but I have my doubts lol Nintendo never had a console that consumed power over 50w.

Even with power with 50W Nintendo can make pretty strong hardware in 2016, remember Wii U launch i 2012. and has only 30W power consumption with 64nm.

It was 40nm gpu/45 cpu for U.

Anyway, I'd love to stop talking about power, because the whole point of "Fusion" is it doesn't rely on certain 3rd party standards, but the topic doesnt seem to go away.  Nintendo simply will not compete when there are two other major companies going that route, and will try to be different & undercutting/cheaper.  I'd love for Ninty to be competitive, but it doesnt seem to be in the cards as of now, and reporting things like "industry leading specs" only adds fuel to the wet dream that only leads to a sad awakening lol.
