Forums - Nintendo Discussion - what if the next nintendo console was NOT in hd?

By 2 years the fabrication cost difference of HD vs SD will be near to 0. In these 3 years, the fabrication cost of the Wii didn`t fall like the cost to make a PS3.

It`s like a 40Gb 3,5" HDD. It`s basically the same price to make than a 120gb. This is why Sony is using 120gb in the Slim.

I have a better question:

Will Nintendo ever release a DS successor?

Yes, there is an article from a few months ago, they picked some sort of CHip or processor for the Ds's successor

3rd party developers woudl drop their support from 10% that the wii gets to 0%. not counting shovelware developers.

It would be silly, since higher processing (etc.) will not be as expensive, they may as well. However, I don't think it would be a huge deal if they didn't, but it would be better if they do only because of the declining costs of tech.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Epic meltdowns would be had.

And it would probably either have a lot of wasted potential, in terms of graphics, or cost like 50$.

I was JUST about to say that!

it would probably have zero "good" third party support, it might get shovelware; fitness and casual games only.



If is isn't HD, that is fantastic news. Then, almost certainly, it will use some amazing tech. Cross your fingers.
