Why didn't they make a powerful 4K console?

Why didn't they make a powerful 4K console?

Why don't they give a fuck about getting the same games as their competition?

Do they realize how great their franchises would look on a console more powerful than the PS4 Pro?

Imagine playing F-Zero with state of the art graphics in 4K on a 42" TV.

Or a new Kid Icarus game. Hell, even Star Fox would look ridiculous.

$700 nintendo console. Sounds dope.

Nintendo games already look great anyway.

4k is a meme that cripples both graphics and performance for the sake of a few pixels that are increasingly difficult to see.

Let's perfect graphics running on 1080p60 first.

>4k
Because a real 4k console would have a price tag in the thousands due to markup.

4K is fucking retarded anyway. The future lies in >60 framerates.

1440p60 would be ideal before jumping to 4k.

>4k meme

>he fell for the 4k meme

The only times Nintendo has made powerful hardware, they've been punished heavily for it. The N64 and Gamecube are two of their worst-selling systems, with pretty much only the Virtual Boy being considered a worse failure by Nintendo.

Maybe you should've supported them when they actually did make good hardware, instead of buying your fucking DVD player that happened to be able to play video games.

>4K

4k is a usless marketing scam

Why hasn't anyone made a powerful 4K console?

Call me when a single console can run 4k correctly.
Even PC struggles with that shit.

>a powerful 4K console
You mean one that upscales 1080p to 4k?
No thanks mate
If they were to really make a "4k console" It would cost a bit over 1k

>why didn't they make a 4k console for the 4k TV I just wasted money on? ??

As an animator, just even trying to think about making 4k assets make me want to throw up

>Why didn't they make a powerful 4K console?
Why doesn't Samsung make one? Or Apple?
Nintendo is a phone game company. That's why they make proprietary game tablets.

>Imagine playing F-Zero with state of the art graphics in 4K on a 42" TV.

What is Redout?

What is Wipeout HD (kek)?

What is Dolphin + F-Zero GX?

Yes, nintendo is retarded.

i was hoping this obvious bait would fall of the board with no more than 1 reply.
Oh well. that's what i get for overestimating you fuckers.

This. 1440p will soon be the next 1080p. New GPU's can already go way over 60 FPS with 1440p

>why don't nintendo make a third of the same thing rather than doing something different and competing on a different axis?
really makes you think

>Why didn't they make a powerful 4K console?
They can't

Not even Scorpio will be capable of native 4K

PS4 Pro fails to even get passed 1080p 30 fps in several instances. What the fuck makes you think they're going to release a console with 4K? If anything, 2k is the new standard for a while now, at least on PC, and consoles won't have that sorted out for another 4 years.

Because even a $2000 PC isn't even a powerful 4k platform.

Graphics whore: the thread

>Why didn't they make a powerful 4K console?

they already charge 300 burgerbucks for a handheld """console""" with 5 years old hardware, if they make an actual 1080p+ console the pricetag would become

They're selling this piece of junk for 300 bucks, imagine how much they would charge for something capable of 4k.

>thinking Nintendo cares at all about having powerful console
>thinking Nintendo even sees Sony and Microsoft as competition

Nothing to do with the hardware and everything to do with Nintendo crippling their system with shitty marketing and proprietary media instead of standard cd/dvd roms.

It gives Nintendo an excuse to pump out cheaply made consoles for their horde of cuckboys though.

Why do we need a 3rd generic shitbox? I like Nintendo consoles because they (occasionally) provide experiences/utility I can just get a better version of on my PC

I also don't think Nintendo's first party games really suffer from being on older hardware. Fuck, I still think Galaxy looks gorgeous, and there's still no other 3D platformer on modern consoles that come close to competing with it. So really, Nintendo running on slightly weaker xbone-esq hardware isn't a big deal, where as the utility of being able to take the switch to work and play games during my lunch break (something I can't do with my PC) is more than a fair trade off

Apple is Nintendo's competition and they will continue curbstomping them.

*can't

I see loss.

Beautiful.

Oh, jsut noticed the filename
