True - PS2 had the best exclusives back then (GTAIII etc). But that's what I meant by it being an old fashioned way of moving hardware. It hasn't worked since the PS2 days. I think if you launched something that much more powerful than a PS4 now and marketed it right (another one of Nintendo's weak points) you could do really well. Also, just like the OG XB, they'd be behind the 8-ball by launching so much later than the PS4. I doubt they can outsell it, but they can do so much better than the Wii U. |
Unlikely, the problem will be catering to the lowest common denominator (right now, that's the XB1...since the Wii U is being overlooked for allot). If the NX is much more powerful than the PS4, it won't matter, because devs won't utilize the power. By that point, the PS4 will have a commanding lead, so they'll likely use that as the lead platform, and then port to the others.
It's unfortunate though, it'd be nice if devs tailored games to each hardwares strengths, but they don't. They put extraordinary effort into making each version of the game, as close to the other platforms performance as possible. Nintendo, imo, would be best served by getting some 3rd parties working on exclusive titles, if that's the case. Multi-plats simply won't utilize that extra power in any meaningful way.
