| Soundwave said: I don't think so, having the "better" versions of all the major third party multiplats has certainly helped Sony this gen so did MS pricing the XBox One at $499. But Nintendo doesn't have any of that to capitalize on .... PS4 will be $299.99 with thousands of games, millions of players (and people want to play where their friends already are), and have superior multiplats to what this NX is going to get. XBOne might be even lower than that by next March ($250 perhaps). Honestly I don't think a lot of major developers are even going to bother with this thing, EA sounds very non-commital and if they're not in, Rockstar is almost definitely in that case not in. This is not going to have equal third party support at all, and what it does get are going to be shittier versions. Who the hell is supposed to be excited by this? This has to be a portable or its Wii U all over again (too late console with underwhelming specs). I wouldn't be all that surprised if XBox 2 is ready for fall 2017, thus making all the attention about PS4 Neo Vs. XB2. No one is going to give a shit about some rinky dink little 1 TFLOP or less Nintendo console, just like the Wii U. |
No, it has not. Not recovering from a massive PR disaster 5 months before launch is what helped Sony this gen. NX will easily outsell PS4 at $300 and XBO at $250, even if it costs more.
I think you're absolutely false about devs. Bethesda has a reason to stay clear of NX in the beginning. That's it. Everyone else will jump in, because it would be a bad business move not to, and once it proves its success, the effort will grow even more prominent. It's definitely going to have on par 3rd party support, because it will have an on par system. Having a weaker version literally won't matter, just like it didn't for PS2.
It's not and it won't. It's not too late as it's not releasing at the end of a console cycle, but at what is the relative beginning. PS4 and XBO are barely 2.5 years old. You're eggadurating because of your lack of understanding. Neo and XB2 won't matter in the slightest to the success of NX. All those do are help keep momentum from falling off for the platforms they are succeeding. It's like saying people won't by the iPhone 5S because of the Blackberry L2Y or whatever. Nobody gives a shit. Apple is Apple. This year PS4 is PS4. Next year, NX will be NX, and no incremental hardware upgrade by comparatively obsolete hardware designs are going to stop that success.
Blackberry can be 50% more powerful, but it will still never be an iPhone.
