Actually it couldn't, if higher end software "50%" more powerful than the ps4 could be made for the same price, Microsoft and Sony would be making a killing on hardware, they're not because the components are still expensive, and higher spec components are more expensive still, to make something 50% more powerful than the ps4 you're looking at a BOM per unit of at least $600 to build something to the spec of what the latest nonsensical skylake stuff is claiming, BOM wouldn't even play a part in it because the hardware to outspec a top of the line GPU and cpu doesn't actually exist. (Hint: its why they're called top of the line) |
Industry leading to me means compared to ps4 and xbone which are strong last gen pc's and nowhere near cutting edge. The xbone is already being sold fr 249.99 a year before nx launch and they have some extra expenses like a disc drive and unneeded ports like hdmi in. Nx could easily big 50% more powerfull than that for 399.99. Mathematically speaking it is very plausable but whether nintendo does it is yet to be confirmed. 50% more powerfull is nothing. that's like going for gamecube to wii.
