10 Things The Nintendo NX Must Do To Be Successful
10. Be Significantly More Powerful Than The Wii U
One of the primary reasons the Wii U just didn't stick with consumers was because it simply didn't offer much of an upgrade in hardware over the original Wii.
Those who bought the Wii U's predecessor purely on the grounds of its motion gaming had no reason to upgrade and, likewise, anyone who was chasing the dream of a Nintendo console with hardware on the same level as the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One was left sorely disappointed too.
The NX absolutely must have considerably more power over the Wii U. Not because I'm foolish enough to believe that visual fidelity is the only bar in which a console's success should be measured, but because if it doesn't - overall performance will suffer.
You can already see what I'm talking about with the likes of Xenoblade Chronicles X - a fantastic and gorgeous JRPG that struggles to maintain its quality due to the outdated hardware it runs on. Consistency first, please.
