| Soundwave said: The console part of that equation is not ... looking good. Lets be honest, unless they upgrade this thing significantly, it is going to look badly outdated and third parties will predictably treat it how they treat Nintendo consoles. Beyond that, Nintendo doesn't have a breakout novelty with this machine ... it's basically just a Wii U, but you can now taking it out of the house instead of just out of the living room. There is no Wiimote here that's new and different from anything else and changes the game play. The game is the same, whether you play at home or on the road. The only fundamentally new thing this gen is really VR, but VR is too expensive to be workable for the audience type Nintendo emphasizes. |
Yh i was thinking the same thing. It's a strange position they have put themselves in. I am inclined to believe they are really pushing for the mobile aspect of the console for differentiation. Because if you really look at it, it's not boding well for them on the home console front at all. Its not gonna be as powerful as the XB1, and even that machine needs to use a dynamic rez ranging from sub 720p under load to around 900p when runnig amodern game like Titanfall2.
How will the NS run games like that? 540p to 720p? Nintendo made a choice, they are about to release hardware in 2017 that's weaker than hardware that was released over 3yrs ago (at the time it launches). I don't understand how or why they would do that, they seem to me to be taking a very very heavy gamble on the mobile aspect of the NS.
Hope it works out for them....
