The stronger power wouldn't affect third party either since most of them either don't know how to make games that look that good because PS4/X1 can't handle them or simply don't support Nintendo... Waiting for 2017 would make for another major factor: PS4 and X1's install bases would grow A LOT, and I'm shure Nintendo aims to get an NX in the house of those people instead of releasing a new console on a market with a 70M PS4 and a 40/50M X1 ... |
I agree. I can't see Nintendo waiting out the rest of the generation and having the Wii name tarnish their brand even more while allowing Sony and Microsoft to overtake even more of the market. Honestly, I think the NX should be a platform that's updated with new hardware models every three or so years and natively backwards compatiable with previous generation NX software so that they will no longer have to worry about keeping pace with Sony or Microsoft in-terms of hardware. Also, mandate that all new software be compatible with its current generation and (bare minimum) the generation before it to give people the same amount of software support as a typical console generation.
