I'm playing Rise of the Tomb Raider on the XB1 and this level of visuals would be more than enough for Nintendo, a Zelda or Metroid or Xenoblade game with this kind of fidelity given to their artists would create unbelievable looking games with massive scale, and cartoony games like Mario/Mario Kart/Kirby/Splatoon/Donkey Kong would just cook on this. 

Nintendo's never going to sell great with multiplats, the COD/GTA/Madden/Mass Effect/etc. crowd is never going to choose Nintendo as their go to third party console anyway so spec matching is kinda pointless anyway. 

It'd be great if NX could match XBox One. Even on a 4KTV, Tomb Raider on XB1 still looks great, this is nothing like the Wii-HDTV days where going from PS3/360 HD back to Wii sometimes felt like jumping into ice cold water. 

Anyone else think so? We don't need a PS4 Pro-Scorpio killing NX, even XB1 would be great (now watch Nintendo not even get that, lol). 

Even vs. a PC, the XB1 version still looks decent, yeah the PC version looks cleaner, but at the same time you think back to the 90s when you enjoyed stuff like Street Fighter II on the SNES (or even the Genesis, shudder) compared to the arcade ... now THAT was a fair sized difference, today we're pretty spoiled. This really isn't:

the thing about standards is they change,..  it's really easy to move forward and really hard to move back.

 

i heard (and even stated myself with a gamecube) that graphics just can't possibly get better in a way that i care about.  then i played things on the next gen hardware and you know what... those gamecube graphics started to look like shit to me. 

xbox one graphics are a wonderful target for nintendo,.. all the way up until the ps4 pro and project scorpio release.  many people will probably talk a lot of shit about of the new hardware doesn't look much better.  but if you put a game in front of them from the prior gen they'll complain to high hell about how bad and dated it looks.

such is the way of life in all things (not just video games).

I go back and forth between the xbone and wii u all the time. I have no issues with it.
