funny cause thats what some said about Wii U and we see how that turned out. I wouldnt be surprised NX is closer to PS3 than 4. And PS2 was pretty close to GC xbox. than it was to the PS1 from the prior gen much closer. It wasnt like the PS2 missed out on a lot of games due to lack of power, something that Ninty home consoles couldnt say for the last two gens. |
And Wii U's problem was not graphical power; it was barely having any releases that weren't ports for a full year or so after the initial launch in 2012. Nintendo consoles have never missed out on games for a lack of power; Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty didn't just abandon the system halfway through the Wii U's lifetime because it suddenly became less powerful. They stopped making games because they simply didn't sell well, which was due to the fact that nobody bought the system.
Another example that power means relatively little when it comes to determining who develops for what. The DS and 3DS were both far less powerful than the PSP and PS Vita, and yet both easily had more 3rd party titles and were far more successful as a whole. Power is largely only relevant when it comes to encouraging the consumer to buy the console in the first place, and if Nintendo can find some way to get around that, then developers will certainly bring games to it.
