It's up for debate because if Nintendo were to release NX2 (or whatever) right around the time of the PS5 and XB2, would Nintendo just be a generation ahead of the competition? |
It's not really up to debate. Nintendo has been releasing their home consoles a bit early compared to sony or ms but they follow a pattern or time table. Only way for that to play out like that is for Nintendo to start releasing console very early or console gens as a whole get shorter. .5 consoles are just rumors at this point (Phil has already said they're not doing that) and nintendo hasn't made any annoucements about NX's launch window (it could release this year or next year) or even what it is. People can believe whatever rumors they want but I rather trust that a lot of companies stick to what's proven to work or to tradition itself with alot of things. Nintendo is more stubborn in that sense. Sony is not in a position to gamble with products not turning a decent profit or with products that are making money (VR by itself is a big gamble). MS is the most likely to try and change things or do something different with the console gens/consoles but they already denied that they're doing anything related to upgradeable consoles. People love to jump to conclusions with the rumors.
