| mountaindewslave said: impossiblet to say at this point. The PS4Neo is obviously just an upgrade essentially and part of the current gen. The NX however we have no room to say yet. if the NX is considerably more advanced in some technological way than the current systems (whether in application OR tech) then obviously it will probably be its own new generation. if the NX spec wise is similar to PS4/Xone then I think its safe to say that its not really a new gen |
No. to say that is like saying the WiiU isn't part of the PS4/XB1 gen cause soec was its more in line with the PS3/360. now one told Nintendo not to put in 8GB of RAM or a more powerful CPU/GPU. they chose to do that cause they felt that was all the need needed to complete with whatever Sony and Ms were releasing just a year later.
they were also the market leaders at the time. meaning they had no pressure of launching first. they literally could have waited for sony and MS to launch. they made all those choices on their own.
If they release a new console now, even if power wise it's more in line with a PS4. It's still their next generational offering after the wiiU. for the chatzs sake, they could gropu it in with the PS4/XB1. or wait
so say the NZ comes out in 2017. then by 2019/2020 the PS5/XB1 irls released. what happens then? should we all assume that that's the 9th gen and Nintendo hasn't made their 9thgen console yet? so what was the wiiU? It think then it would rather be that nintendos 9th gen console released 2/3 years earlier then the rest.
