This is the best roundup of rumors I've seen so far. Thanks for this.

I think Wii2 (Stream) isn't that powerful. It may need more power - cuz I think when they announce the ps4/720 I think they will have double the power Stream has :S

stragomccloud4770d ago

Very clear and well organized.
Anyway, if this console isn't designed to compete with PS4, Nintendo could have the same problem as they've had this generation.

SantistaUSA4770d ago

Agreed! It should be at least twice as powerful as the PS3. Let's wait an see what happens.

Otheros004770d ago (Edited 4770d ago )

512 MB of ram says that it is NOT design to compete with ps4 and the next xbox. They are going the same route as the wii but using different hardware. I just hope there is less shovleware this time.

Edit: the next PlayStation and xbox are guaranteed to have more than 512 MB for the gpu. Being on console doesn't mean every game is way more optimize. The orange box and a bunch of other games are not even optimize on ps3.

stragomccloud4770d ago (Edited 4770d ago )

Unless that 512 is dedicated system ram or dedicated vram.

Afterall the xbox is is I believe 512 shared, and the PS3 is 256 for each.

So, if there is 512 system ram, and then another 512 vram, it could be more than enough. After all, these are consoles we're talking about not PCs. So, everything is waaaaaaaaay more optimized.

Anyway, I don't think we even really need big leaps and bounds after seeing what this generation is already capable of.

Otheros004770d ago (Edited 4770d ago )

I just notice something.

Looks exactly like this: http://www.sidequesting.com...

I was right. That top picture is real.

ChickeyCantor4770d ago

The screen seems like a cool idea, this way i don't have to be sitting in one place.
Move around the house and continue my game.

Ellimem4769d ago

A lot of RAM isn't needed for a gaming console. The OS runs lite and there isn't any multitasking to worry about.

White-Sharingan4769d ago

So you're saying that it wont multitask? then what's the point of calling it a next gen console if it can't even multitask. If you're going to make a more powerful console than a PS3 and 360, you need more ram so the game wont run like shit, we can see it on some PS3 and 360 games with major slowdown. Just give it 1gb of RAM and i'll be happy.

stragomccloud4769d ago

A game console just won't have to multi task as much as a pc.

My PC is running anti spyware, anti adware, anti virus, WINDOWS, skype, yahoo, AIM, Live messenger, apple stuff, steam, creative labs stuff, and lots lots more. Consoles just won't ever have to run that much at the same time.

Anyway, I do think that if it is only 512 shared, they are being idiotic.

Shackdaddy8364770d ago

Those specs are plenty for nintendo games. It isn't like you buy consoles like the wii and n64 for realistic games...

How Many More Victims, Like Garry's Mod, Will Nintendo's Hurtful Crusade Create?

Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."

The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.

gold_drake9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.

nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.

people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly

mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.

zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.

nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.

its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.

but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.

Inverno9d ago

Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
