Out of curiosity, how are you planning to gauge that? It's pretty subjective.

If Nintendo has a decent specced system with a similar architecture to PS4/X1, the extremely low cost of porting over to said hardware would outweigh all abysmal sales on the system.

The gamepad isn't power.

There's a higherarchy.

Plus, I'm 100% sure the NX iteration of the gamepad will by much cheaper to manufacture. Smaller, and using much less plastic.

If they use a standard archictecture and decent specs next time around, then the porting costs for 3rd parties would be a lot less than with the WiiU - PS4/Xbone, so 3rd parties could port games and make money even with low sales, and with more games => more people buy the games each time = > more 3rd party incentives.

BUt they did show willingness to sacrifice an affordable price point.

Let's be honest, at $300 USD, Wii U is overpriced.

Nintendo will always have the weaker console now, their games dont need that much more performance since they reached gamecube level. For them its easier to add a gimick to their weaker consoler and sell it at a profit.

Lol, nothing unexpected. I have my doubts that their next system will match the specs of the PS4... which would be a total shame for a 9th system... even worse than Wii U.

PC is the best, and will always be the best for high end graphics. The PS4 and Xbone One struggle to remain graphically relevant because PC gaming is becoming cheaper and easier for console gamers to enter.

Nintendo has been around the longest, I doubt they will simply fade away because of their refusal to copy Sony's business strategy.

Overpriced doesn't mean unaffardably priced, lest we forget how the Wii was like $100 overpriced when it launched. I never said it was priced in accordance to it's worth, I said it was priced affordably. Even at $350, the Wii U was an affordable system.

it's time miyamoto join the pc master race.
