why not on a PS2? why not on an SNES? why not on an Atari 2600? Why not on a Texas Instruments calculator?

 

because being underpowered is only 1 of the reasons, the main reason is different architectures would require the developers to dedicate a specific team to code the game in specific for this exotic architecture that no one uses.

it's all about cost/benefit.

also, it's not 'downgraded' to ps4/xb1, the games are made specifically for those platforms, and then, given what we know, taking advantage of the better performing machines, those should get stuff like higher res textures, better AA, better shadowing, better frame rates possibly.

just thing of these machines as you would of a gaming pc. just because you can have different components inside, because the main architecture is the same, the games don't need a special port for each of the configurations each person may have. it's a very simplistic way of putting it, but should get the basic idea behind "why not put it on the NX?"

Well you seem to already think the NX is a failure. If it sells well, then why not put their games on the NX? Cant be that hard or expensive.

i didn't not say that at all. it might be quite successful on it's own right. judging from the rumors only, in terms of power, yes it's going to be a massive fail. would you consider the wii a failure? i'm sure Nintendo didn't think that. Power wise... yeah it was absolutely terrible for it's time
