Do you guys think it's possible that the NX could be compatible with VR?

They managed to buiod the Wii U which was barely more powerfull than a PS3 a year before the launch of the PS4 for €350-. Somehow I will think they can manage to build a weaker console than the PS4 in 2017. If you compare the PS4 and Wii U in matter of power it's clear that Nintendo doesn't give a crap about power. Besides I don't know what Nintendo needs all that power for in the first place, since their main focus is cartoony stylized graphics which don't require all that much power, unless they want to compete with Ratcht and Clank visually.

The tread is about VR..

Also.. we all know that having a console on level (or above) PS4 would give them better 3  party support.. (and you just wrote me in another tread.. that 3 party is important.. meaning you actully answered that yourself  :)

Yes but that would also mean they should ditch powerpc and BC compability. The Xone has less power and recieves fine ports from third party devs (yes 50% gpu power is a lot) considering Nintendo's no sold at loss policy, a console around or just above Xone makes much sense since they can build for €250- and sell it for €250-. The NX shouldn't be more expensive than a PS4 if it is not considerable more powerful than a PS4. With this option it recieves much third party support and has not more power than necessary than to make cartoon games look absolutely gorgeous. Price can be a huge selling point when done right, this alongside a good portion of third party support can suit Nintendo fine. If it is more poweful than a PS4 it is going to cost probably €300 to make.

As for VR I don't know if Nintendo should do that but if they do cartoony VR can be a succes as well and needs conciderably less power than realistic VR and has probably better results to begin with. But in the thread you also metntioned OR and Vive, which would be ridicilous to support considering the power it needs. They could make an external GPU/CPU for VR support to make it on par with PSVR. And compete with Sony on that level to and use that same box to upgrade none vr games somehow, less loading times more stable framerates, better alizing etc..
