*Translated the bolded: Power IS important

 

Idon't see Wii U in that list. Maybe those Nintendo  consoles made up for the lack of power by being stronger with marketing and games?

But its not, its not important for Switch and it wasnt for DS/Wii/3DS,  also for PS2 that was weaker than GC and OG Xbox. Wii U would be failed even with power (Wii U failed in evre way), fact that I have mentioned you 4 gaming hardware that were successful proves you are wrong. For Nintendo much more important is new or different experience compared to concurtation like Wii and Switch.

Power on those systems wasnt a heldback. The balance betweent power/hardware reliability/price is important to not heldback sales, is like a triangle that has to be really well distributed. If it get unbalanced things cant get very ugly, like x360 RROD, ps3 launch price or Saturn lacking power for 3d games. People tend to think power isn important, but think if Nintendo ever cameback to making NES hardware and saying "our development efforts are now focused on NES hardware again", they would get a huge backlash. What im trying to say is, power just stop being important when they are not holding anything back.
