It will be a wind-up system where you have to turn a crank, and feed it saw dust. Now that's playing with power.
Ps4.5 to be on the safe side. 2.5 teraflop gpu, significantly better cpu, 16GB+ memory..
but it really should be Nintendo's dreamcast power wise.
The leaks have indeed started now that there are Dev Kits out. And some of the publishers who have them are claiming the NX will definitely be more powerful than the PS4:
"One software demo included with the kit crunches so many polygons that it’s currently impossible to run at 60fps using a current-generation Intel (we’re assuming a Core i7 Skylake) CPU and a nearly top-of-the-line graphics card…"

But until the machine is out, who knows...
I know not how powerful the NX will be, but the NX's successor will be played with sticks and stones.
or
The Nintendo NX was a console so powerful and so fast, it could use the waggle to influence the menu to start the game. It had such a high-end processor, it could even keep the Goombas it cared about from dying.
its really hard to call.
i would be surprised if its 50% more powerful than a PS4 though. i dont see nintendo trying to go for a PC killer because 1) their own games wouldnt really benefit and 2) the cost of development would be truly punishing.
i dont know what form its taking though. is it a hybrid? if it is then it has to use mobile tech. if its 2 seperate systems then i would imagine nintendo would still want to share as many things in common between the 2 devices as possible to keep development as simple and as straight forward as possible.
i think nintendos target will basically boil down to "what do i need to run the next mario 3D platformer at 1080P and 60 FPS?". without knowing what form that game will take exactly its hard to say.
but yeah, 50% over the PS4 would be very much the upper limit of what to expect i think and i suspect it could be closer to X1 levels.
all I'm saying is that on consoles and, to keep a good performance/cost ratio, the future is APU/SoC with HSA/Cuda. And with newer manufacturing process to reduce chip sizes I'm pretty sure that at this point they could deliver nearly twice the performance of a PS4 at nearly the same price.
Somewhere ever so slightly more powerful than a ps4 that will then get obliterated a few years into its life by the PS5 and Nextbox
There isn't going to be a nextbox. MS will ween say from a dedicated console. Xbox will turn into a windows app. garbage.
Same as WiiU compared to ps360. More powerful on paper but zero games will look better than what's available on those two. In other words, it will be a little bit more powerful than ps4 but you will never find a game that looks as good/better than The order/infamous etc.

I agree with this.
Hopefully enough to run a stunning meteoroid game!
I mean, obviously it will be able to run Captain Toad, so it doesn't really matter too much...umm...except of course that they are abandoning the Wii U so early
Nintendo got the shit scared out of them with the Wii U failure. They just look at all these dumb zombies buying PS4s with no games an solely based on power.
Easy formula, make it powerful as **** and sales will shoot past the PS4. **** the games, they can come years and years later like the Quad is doing.

It's really hard to say. I mean if you looked at this years e3 nintendo didn't seem to care about the hardcore gamer at all.
To me It seemed like a clever ruse so that sony and ms wouldn't be worried. Nintendo was that cunning in the past, however I fear they're going for the safe route; invest in mobile games and something a bit more powerfull than the ps4 on the console part. That would be the nintendo I know from the last decade.
but I know nintendo has the means to do something great here and I hope they learned a lesson with the wii u. That lesson is that they need to innovate, they cannot keep on feeding on their old stuff, that simply won't keep on working.
If the managament cares... is another question though. For all we know, the end of nintendo, as a console maker, is upon us.
Gonna be 200% better then PS4, i mean come on, its Nintendo, were playing with Power.
What a slogan they had in the old days.

I'm thinking that this is their gen and a half console. I think it will be strong enough to fly through both gens. However strong that may be, it doesn't matter. As long as the handheld is strong enough to handle ports of 3rd party AAA franchises with few changes. If this happens, then I can see NX lasting 8 years without issue.

Don't know if they got the shit scared out of them, this isn't the first time one of their consoles isn't doing wel.

I agree with this.
Wii U games are factually superior to games on Ps3 and 360 technically. Wii U's got more than twice the usable memory, 3.5 x the eDRAM the 360 had and a more advanced gpu. Nothing on paper about it, more is more.
Puppeteer on Ps3 is probably the best that console has in terms of cartoonish visuals but it can't match tropical freeze and runs at half the frame rate. Need for speed most wanted U has twice the texture resolution as its 7th gen counterparts and better lighting/reflections, which was a rushed port from EA no less.
Wii U was underpowered but to say it's no better than the 360 is simply ignorant.
PS5 won't be out till 2020. Sony doesn't have the money to release a new console any time soon. Their only hope as a company is to ride PS4 out as long as it will carry them, even if the bottom drops out and they find themselves selling at a rate of 3-5 million per year after the third year.
Slightly more powerful than a PS4. Will be interesting to see what Nintendo can do with the most powerful console ever made.
Uh, guys. Did you see this? It might be something big.

This source says the same thing. I can't blame you.
