It seems one of those has a real chance of making impact. It should be significantly more powerfull with the same architecture and Nintendo should proof their console has a reason of coming 3 years after the competition. |
No. The wii u was their test to use expensive hardware (first nintendo home console ever sold at an loss). Even if the chips weren high end, the gamepad and co made it expensive hardware nontheless. The Wii U was also their try to get third partys on board, failed as well.
The wii u was the most expensive nintendo home console ever sold at 350 / 400 $. And even graphically its not really THAT far behind ps4/xbox one. Check games like Mario kart 8, they could easily be ps4 games as well.
Nintendo talked about merging their home and handheld systems. So i really think the NX will be both, a playstation vita like handhed device and a playstation vita tv like device as home console. Probl more advanced then the vita, but the same idea.
The 3ds still was an success. Will probl sell more units lifetime then the xbox one. And the 3ds exclusives games were WAY easier and cheaper to make compared to the xbox one exclusives games. Still sold better. So in the end something like said will, especially for nintendo, be more profitable then a third (fourth if you count in pcs) high end system on the market.
