| Ljink96 said: It also had a ton of tech gimmicks too. There's a balance if Nintendo wants to do another PS4 clone. And there was really nothing on the SNES's level in the 90's. There was only 1 powerful home console that had popularity at the time and it was the SNES. Now we have 2 of the exact same console on the market, and I really don't want another one. The argument is definitely there but I don't think it'll be the success that everybody thinks it will. |
Well, considering what was available back then when Snes launched, it really wasn't even powerful. The "tech gimmicks" weren't that much of gimmicks, as back in the day the trend was, that if you wanted your device to do a certain effect, you needed to have a dedicated processor doing it. After 20 years from now, having a CPU, GPU and audio processor may look gimmicky because everything will be on SoC. Then again, when we're talking about consoles and their RISC processors, it's always interesting to see the workarounds how to push the maximum performance.
You know, the two powerful consoles in the 90's context would look more like the game centric microcomputers that disappeared from the market because of consoles and cheap IBM-clones. Switch, in this context, would be your 90's videogames console.
