I don't understand how can people expect parity with already 2-3 years old systems.
Nintendo can't possibly not jump on the opportunity of one-upping the competition, considering their delayed launch.

CoD and No Man's Sky or bust..
2 vitas and half a Cell duct taped together.
Nah I don't think that's what she means. I think she's just trying to imply that the rumor going around from that one Reddit user that they would basically have no third-party support at launch is probably false, because it's not something Nintendo would do.
Oh, I will edit my original post then.

Call of Duty certainly wouldn't be out of the question. EA Sports games and Mass Effect, Ubi with Watch Dogs, those are the big ones that have a chance of making it over.

There will be 3rd part things at launch to make people go "there's a chance!?" and then reality will barge in and the well will dry up, if the sales aren't there.
Um... I mean... there's precedence for that.

As powerful as PS4, minimum. That's what I'm expecting.
Parity could be anywhere. There's actually not a lot of room between Xbox One's power and PS4's power, NX could be at the same level or better. CPU is pointing to better, for now.
Well we have 2 generations in a row of them not managing that so...
I'd be very surprised if we didn't see at least CoD and Ubisoft's main releases for the first year or two. Even Wii U got two years of CoD and Assassin's Creed.
Ah she's talking about EA now
I don't know if she actually has info that she's implying with her tweets or if she's just bringing up facts about things that already happened though. She says to keep in mind that EA only didn't like the Wii U, not Nintendo as a whole, because they still gave the 3DS minor support.

Do you really think my post was meant to be serious?
I'm just sitting here and having fun while waiting for the official NX reveal in the near future.
- Lower price (300-350 at launch against 400 & 500)
- Low-power consumption fetish
- Extra cost in controller and/or "gimmick" like was the gamepad, weighting nearly half the SKU price
I thought NMS was sony console exclusive (with a PC one later)
Of course, but they have to drastically change their strategy towards hardware and have strongly hinted on this in past statements.
It's not hard to believe NX will be powerful and traditionnal, rather than rely on gimmicks and pure innovative gameplay and controls like the two previous home consoles from them.
That said, it would be terribly stupid for Nintendo not to include powerful hardware in the NX.
PS: I'm pretty sure 350$ worth of hardware today is more powerful than 500$ from three years ago.
I mean, the PS4K is supposed to be only a half gen jump over PS4 and they're looking at a $400-$500 price range it seems. If Nintendo is looking $300 or lower I can't imagine it'd be much more powerful if at all.
What delayed launch is this? Wii U is current gen and came out first. NX would be next gen, and super early at that.
The rumors I saw about it were pointing at a GPU 50% more powerful than PS4.
That's a huge jump in performance, this is what 3 years worth of hardware growth brings to the table.
It is? I thought a full gen difference is like several times more powerful GPU.

Surely 100%, no?
Edit: Of course you talk of the NX! I'm going between three leak threads here and brain is exploding....
NX being next gen would be like saying that PS4K is next gen too.
No it's not, Nintendo is late to the console generation, rather than early on the next, because their hardware is closer to the previous current Sony/Microsoft hardware power-wise than the next, by a wide margin.
Maybe, I'd be curious to know exactly how big of a jump there was between PS3 and PS4 GPU for example.
What do you mean ?
Edit: Oh I see, sorry for the confusion.
They hinted at iterative hardwares with a shorter release cycle, like iphones, and like releasing new 3DS (meaning with power boost) every 2-3 years. Just like sony and microsoft will start to do so too with xb 1.5 and ps4k.
It doesn't mean the first home console will be a power house. They can aim for a low entry price, and try to match competitors specs in later releases.
She's saying that we should not undervalue the importance of 3rd party support. 3DS got tons of it and made it very appealing. Also that Nintendo would never release a new system without at least some 3rd parties involved.
One thing I believe Nintendo really needs to do is change their hardware focus to be more accommodating for 3rd parties and work from there. If it's painfully easily to develop for, then negotiations need to happen, and more often to rebuild their relationships.
EDIT: She also says that no one at EA hates Nintendo. It's that they didn't like the Wii U and found it difficult to develop for.
I see.
Well hopefully 10k being verified will help us better understand Nintendo's plans with this generation.

This isn't how generations work
Care to elaborate ?
Pretty much. And she said to not over analyze her tweets too.
Yeah, guys, Emily herself is saying it's better to not overanalyse her most recent tweets. Simply, as she says, surely Nintendo doesn't want to make another Wii U.

They haven't given us any reason to believe otherwise. They could have easily with the Wii U and didn't.
Yup. The documentation was absolutely horrible and tech support from Nintendo took way too long to answer back. Or that's what I heard. Even heard that one EA team just straight up boxed up the Wii U devkits after being done and shipped them back to Nintendo.
Wii was underpowered and a massive success.
Why would they want to change this formula at that time ?
The situation we (they) are in now is very different.
Weaker than weak.
Btw I am honestly interested in weird controllers, gimmicks or interfaces so so far NX rumors have been interesting.
The software rumors on the other hand so far have been so boring (except bg&e2)

Not really surprising.
It's what it is and whether it will continue that's the big problem.

She has to approve you first. Private account.
That one up will only last for a month or two tops, when ps4k releases.
Probably fake, but for those that like to get any NX info:

Just coming back in, what does 10K know?
Parity with PS4K is totally fine.
It would still mean Nintendo has the most powerful system (tied with PS4K) on the market.
I was talking about the parity with Xbox One / PS4 people seem to expect.
This would be a huge mistake for Nintendo, if they decide to launch an already irrelevant piece of hardware in terms of processing power.
Sounds like he may have a reliable source.
We don't know, he waits on verification.
