| JustBeingReal said: I read the op more than once, you've not provided a single source from Nintendo hinting at this and none of Nintendo's own patents or comments point to this. You can keep thinking whatever you want it going to happen, I just provided you with multiple reasons why it is highly unlikely, Kimishima's statement about Nintendo moving away from Wii and Wii U's approach is enough to support Nintendo not going with weak specs or a redesigned version of the Wii U. |
Nothing is hinting on a pwoerfull device either so thats redunant to talk about. its a prediction: not a 100% safe thing.
Here again the HINTS that the systme MIGHT be not powefull:
2 in 1 device with very similar architecture (i gave u sources to that). At the moment its not possible to build a portable device with ps4 like power for something below 400$. The losest you can get are gaming laptops with a gtx 960m (1400 gflops vs 1850 gflops ps4). But even those are 600$+ AND need a fence AND are way bigger then an usual handheld AND have poor battery life AND need to be plugged in for full power AND have often heat issues.
Nintendo already had problems with software development on wii u. Many games got delayed, released without full content (Splatoon, Mario Kart 8, Zelda Wii U, 3d World, Star Fox Zero). They also had problems to develop enough games at all. They will have more problems with better hardware (because worlds, gets bigger, graphics more beatifull, more details).
They already said they wont sell the system at a loss. Nintendo consoles in general are pretty cheap (around 200$ - 250$). The Wii U was their first expensive machine and it failed. The Wii was an in relation cheap system and it had great success.
Like already discusses several times, in terms of cartoony graphics the wii u can already produce very pretty games. The differences between an wii u and ps4 game arnt as big as they were in prev. generations.
