| Miyamotoo said: Yes it seems we have. I don't agree at all that Wii U games are whole generations behind. I am very pleased how Nintendo Wii U games look, so just Wii U games in 1080p with AA and some smaler improvements and I would be satisfied. Zelda BotW is beautiful looking game despite don't have high-end graphics. |
Graphically they are a generation behind, I can provide examples and images pointing out the flaws even with the best looking games.
Artistically, Nintendo has always been in a league of it's own though.

Tegra X2 is about as good as it gets, that's bleeding edge for mobile tech and that gets you 625 GFLOPS, even with the Nvidia/AMD disparity in FLOP-age (lol), that only brings you up to about 812 GFLOPS or so. |
The abuse of flops is real. :(
You should probably look into what it really is and how it apply's to games.
| Soundwave said: Well having "lower power" doesn't make the hardware automatically cheaper to make either. The NX will have to have a screen ... a 7-8 inch screen even with a cheap resolution is still going to cost in the range of $40-$50, the battery doesn't come for free either, then you have you actual chipset costs ... just because it only outputs say 600 GFLOPS doesn't mean it costs 1/3 the price. That's not how component pricing works. |
In most cases, it's true, lower power hardware usually has conservative transister counts... So it should be cheaper to manufacture, if all things were equal.
There are few edge cases though.
There is the nVidia Tax you need to consider, they have all the eggs in their basket this GPU cycle so they think (and are) pricing chips at whatever level they want.
