If this is true, that means the NX's CPU won't actually be that much better than the PS4/XBO's, as he already exaggerated the difference between the PS4 and XBO CPUs. XBO only has a slight advantage due to a slightly higher clock. Though, I have read conflicting things on this. Ubisoft ran a test and came to the conclusion the XBO was slightly better, but I have also seen a site do their own test and conclude the PS4 performs slightly better. Either way, it's basically a wash and means nothing, as games still perform better on the PS4, since it has a much better GPU.
So, if the NX has a better CPU, but a weaker GPU than the PS4, it's not really going to improve Nintendo's situation. Even one that is on par with the PS4 isn't going to help. I think the NX is going to have to have a GPU that is at least 2x as powerful as the PS4 to even interest core gamers who aren't Nintendo diehards. But, after the Wii U's lack of success, chip manufacturers aren't going to be willing to make the cheapest deals with Nintendo, and considering Nintendo is going with another expensive controller, I don't see them going that powerful and keeping the price below $399. And I think Nintendo wants to aim for a $299-$349 price.
And like I have said countless times, this still isn't going to help them against a PS5, which will be 4x-5x more powerful than the PS4.
