| Mummelmann said: The type of gamer/customer who appreciates higher resolutions and likely VR, are not the ones most likely to appreciate those types of games, so that seems counterproductive as a concept to me. Casual gamers and customers care a lot less about tech, resolution, more about price, availability and "it" factor. VR is a long way off from being mainstream with the prices it currently has, these will stay high for some years to come due to (likely) low product volume and sales mostly to enthusiasts. 4k as a gaming concept is not ready for mainstream, regardless of stylized visuals and other technical work-arounds and demographic tailoring. If Nintendo were to aim for simplistic gaming with VR and 4k with the NX, they'll be shoothing themselves in the foot one more time by offering a bipolar gaming concept with no real demographic, just like they did with the Wii U, let's all hope they have more sense than that. |
But they don't have to focus on just 4k or VR. I am just saying that it seems like people are forgetting that a console can have multiple resolutions and framerates. NX and PS4K better at least be consistently 1080/60p and if they are, then 4k/30p would not be unreasonable to acheive. With Sony pushing VR and 4k, Nintendo needs to tout 4k capabilites or something next-genish to even compete and get a serious look at from gamers.
