not really drawn to scale but generally:

--ps3
--NS portable------------------------------NS console
--------------------------------------------------------------xbox------------------------------------------------------------------------scorpio
---------------------------------------------------------------------ps4------------------------------------------------ps4 pro

  | ---------- this here is a massive gap ----------- |


NS console doesn't look too far behind the xbox but the NS portable is.

on ps4 some games get ported to vita and that's cool and all but the big games (uncharted 4) clearly don't.  the power gap is too huge.  on NS the downport to the handheld is compulsory in the same way ps4 is compulsory for ps4 pro.   and in the same way as ps4 pro's power is being underutilized the NS console's power will be underutilized.

 

so allow me to predict the future of NS:

NS isn't going to get a lot of the big home console games.  indies: yes.  last gen remasters: sure.   ...but things like red dead redemption 2 and mass effect andromeda are going to pass on NS.

which means i have 5+ years of people unfairly complaining that 3rd parties are being lazy assholes for not putting their games on NS.

happy happy joy joy.
