Oups, my bad I forgot to say "from the point of view of the consumer" which I assumed you were, which I can tell you I am. Cause from the Nintendo side, I totally agree with you. Power is the least of their concern, it costs money to engineer a powerful system and if you sell them so well without doing much in that department, why do it? I also must remind you that this is pretty much what I ALSO said in my first post. I said, "did you hear Nintendo?" Then I added "Of course you don't hear" Then I added, something like "keep doing your thing" as in keep changing the hood but don't bother investing in a powerful engine inside your machine. Now if you're asking in general and not in the case of Nintendo specifically, the answer is cause more power means better graphics. And before you answer that graphics don't necessarily mean a good game, I'll say that neither do weak graphics. But as a consumer I'd rather good games + powerful graphics than any other combination. Not sure why you wish to settle for a few good games with weak graphics when you could get good games PLUS powerful graphics. (That is if Nintendo consumers woke up and demanded it) And finally the only question you might be left with asking me is: If I don't care for the Switch why is this a problem for me at all? Well the answer is obvious. If you guys (Nintendo fans) were more demanding and critic of your favorite brand, maybe Nintendo would invest in more powerful GPU's and maybe they would continue making home systems that can rival the Pro and the X. You'd STILL be enjoying BOTW and Mario Odyssey and all those great games but so would more people, you know those who care to see 2017 graphics in those games and not 2010 graphics in 2017 games. |
Nintendo has been pushing Metroid while Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey have been successes. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has been a worthy update. Platoon helps bolster the Switch lineup. Let's not forget about the soon-to-be-released Xenoblade Chronicles 2. This is what Nintendo fans want, and Nintendo has delivered from a games front. And to support that claim, the Switch has been easily outselling the Xbox One while giving the PS4 a run for its money. The Switch is doing as well because Nintendo is meeting the demand of its fans. The PS4 Pro and PSTV are my primary gaming systems. But when (not "if") I get my Switch, it's going to be the centerpiece of all my current consoles at the very least for the Nintendo exclusive titles regardless of power.
