Well... The whole unification into one console is a bad concept/idea imo cause if its fails, they are royally fucked. Like for example, right now, the wiiU is selling terribly but the 3ds is selling very nicely so it evens out the losses. (Obviously not like even even but you get what I mean) Vs, if they have one device and it fails, well, for the next 5 years, they will not be making any money at all which is really bad. Sure, you could say, oh, one platform = more games and that is a valid point but it also results in higher risk if the platform isn't appealing, then good luck. Specially since that if you make it a portable console, like a tablet, well, it will be very underpowered compared to the ps5/x2 just cause it wont have the power requirement. And if you make it a console, well then u have places like Japan where they seem to hate buying consoles. (Those are just examples btw, there are many other reasons as well) What they should do instead is do what they have always been doing and just do a console + handheld. The only difference this time around should be that they are the same architecture, just the handheld version will be lower powered that way, all they should really have to do in order to port it is have lower graphics and there shouldnt really be that much recoding involved and this way, they dont have to rely on one SKU to be a success |
u misunderstood me, i fully agree that they should still have seperate handheld and console skus, just that the hardware is nearly identical so that they can release all games on both devices.
i think the handheld variant will be moderately more powerful than Vita just as 3DS is moderately more powerful than PSP. Something that can render Wii U quality visuals at a lower resolution/frame rate.
the console variant will be slightly more powerful than Wii U, similar to the jump from Gamecube to Wii. it will render the games at a higher resolution than the handheld version.
these devices will use games carts like DS/3DS use but higher capacity. Each will be sold in the $149-199 price range and launch sometime in 2017.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
