Alright, I made my points and you made yours. Give it a rest.

One last time and dont drag this on, if its EASY to utilize developers would take advantage of superior specs.

Agreed, we made plenty points already.

However I don't think it will be all that easy (the extra fine tuning and QA efforts alone) and even when it is easy devs don't seem to take advantage.
Look up hacks to make 3ds games run faster on n3ds, why don't developers do it.
Modders added 60fps to Dark Souls on PC, didn't seem that difficult. NFS Hot pursuit, same thing on PC.
It seems parity, ie one version to maintain, is more on their mind than making the superior hardware shine.

Anyway I would like to see a new generation in 2019 or 2020 instead of a transistion to the mobile phone business model.

Well if people are making mods to take advantage New 3DS then I guess its relatively easy to take advantage of superior specs.

Nobody is asking for a new console every year or two. Thats a terrible comparison and you know that.

A real issue would be developers might spend less resoueces optimizing games for original 8th gen hardware. Given they could still get significantly better results on updated specs with less effort. So the work load could balance out that way but that sucks for people that dont buy upgraded consoles.
