I've stated before and since any specs were revealed this gen most would have shitty cpus this turned out to be true, so to be fair my own perspective is skewed.
amd 8350 stock >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> NX>>>>> X1 >> PS4>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Wii U. All 3 of big 3 manufacturers got this issue wrong, yet I know next gen 2 of them won't cause they tend to do a decent job. Nintendo isn't impressing anyone.
And how would you feel if it released at $250?
Honestly I don't think Nintendo is going after Sony and MS as mucch as maybe they are pivoting to the apple tv market and creating a set top box that shares a software platform with their handheld before eventually merging the two.
$250 or $300 would be a competitive pice at that power level and it would far surpass anything in their target demo.
Not saying it is right or the right direction but Nintendo is definitely not trying to beat Sony and Ms on power.
