You realise that Wii U was just a little more powerfule than 7 years old consoles!? Wii U needed to compete with XB1/PS4 not 7 years old consoles.

Nintendo can't win console war with specs, not in middle of generation and when we having PS4 Neo and Xbox Scorpio knocking on door. Releasing console that would be on pair with Xbox Scorpio means console of around $500, and realising $500 console in middle of generation would be suicide for Nintendo.

Nintendo with NX will go for 1080p gaming, some new concept and affordable price (most likly $300), so they really don't need stronger hardware than PS4. IMO in worst case NX will have power similar to XB1, realistically somewhere between XB1 and PS4, but also could have similar power to PS4 or even little above, I dont think NX will be much stronger than PS4 in any case.

Considering 2017 for release and that we have several speculation on PS4Neo for 400,00... I would say if Nintendo don't put too much money on the "special" side of the console they could release a console with the power of PS4 for 250 or Neo for 350 (not saying exact same power, but same ballpark). But from the several PR we got, I would agree between X1 and PS4 with 1080p60fps for Nintendo games is the safest guess, but that would also probably mean little 3rd party support after 2 or 3 years, at least while PS4Neo and Scorpio are around demanding backward support for PS4 and X1 the NX will have a good possibility of support if their architeture don't mean too much problem porting.

Totaly agree. About 3rd party suport, its almost certain that PS4/XB1 will get suport for same time like PS4Neo/Xbox Scorpio because both Sony and MS told 3rd party must make same games for bouth consoles, instale base of PS4/XB1 will definatly be mush stronger than for PS4Neo/Xbox Scorpio, and Yoshida said that PS4 Neo is just upgraded PS4 and that we will have PS5 when is time and that means PS4/PS4Neo will be replaced in same time. So if NX have similar power to XB1/PS4, similar or hard architecture for porting and dont have catastrophic sales like Wii U, NX could get solid 3rd party support for same time like XB1/PS4.
