Uhh... Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind featuring similar open world gameplay came out on the original Xbox. The only reason that wasn't available on the PS2 was because it was a paid exclusive.

1. Why can't a custom PowerPC based chip be put into a handheld? You're acting like ARM processors are magic. As for 2 screens, the DS says hello.

2.  Why wasn't the Wii U what you think the NX should be to begin with? People don't just buy new consoles for fun. I'm sure Nintendo would have been much happier milking the 100+ Wii owners than putting out the Wii U if power wasn't that big of a factor.

So your argument is that in order to sell a lot of consoles, you need to have a less powerful and cheaper console? The PS4 says hello. Not only is it the most powerful, but it's also the most expensive, but still outselling the cheaper and less powerful X1 almost 2 to 1 worldwide.



Also why on earth do you think people would buy a console that is less powerful than it's predecessor?


"Hey look at Mario Kart 9! See how it looks noticably worse than Mario Kart 7, even though it runs on much newer hardware."

I'm sure that would go over like a lead zeppelin.

 

Morrowind was 1 game. The xbox was way stronger then the original ps2. Games like the last of us wouldnt work either, scince you couldnt display all the emotions and co. 

PowerPCchips need fences. Thats why. They need more energy and produce more heat.Intel just manages to make x86 chips that arnt complete garbage (atom) and wont need a fence (intel core M). And those chips are expensive AF and still not much more powerfull then something like the a9x.

 

Because in 2012 mobile arm chips wernt as capable.

 

Mario kart 9 wouldnt look inferior ti mario kart 7. It would look similar (little better, litter worse) then mario kart 8.
