Well power and size aren't really directly related, PS4 is quite a bit smaller than XB1 yet more powerful. Also there is the Nvidia Shield TV which is more powerful than Wii U despite being much smaller and using Mobile chips.

Also I don't really think Nintendo has any desire to compete directly with PS4/XB1 so power isn't a massive issue, NX just needs to run modern engines like Unity & Unreal 4 while being easy to port games to.

I don't think they will try to surpass PS4/XB1 in power either, but in 2016 it's expected that a new console is at least similar to XB1's power level. Like you said, it needs to run modern engines and make up for good and easy ports. If it's considerably weaker tho, devs will probably not take their time to develop a somewhat different version just for it... this already happened before.

Anyway, this is my opinion, but maybe Nintendo will do something entirely different than what we expect. After all, it's Nintendo we're talking about.

Some other users kinda touched up on it but the main point of the unified concept is to be more self-reliant and be able to supply a steady stream of content without the absolute need for 3rd party support on par with the others. Essentially it would be as if you combined the support 3DS gets with the support Wii U gets.

100% support from Nintendo, strong Japanese 3rd party support, strong indie support, kid/family friendly support and if they can get similar mainstream western support that Wii U got in its first year than they would have a very strong and steady stream of new releases.

apple would sue.

 

That´s the first thing that came to my mind. Just make it the less apple as possible. Make it fluorescent blue or pink, but if it looks like an apple product well, I just hate apple products.

I would really love it if it was super small. If the patent of the discless console is true then the NX could be really small (and silent). They could make a really small NES, but colorful, retro but modern in some way.

I would not mind if it was essentialy "invisible" like the Compute Stick. Non-gamerz does not want to have big boxes that crowd the space around their TV.

Cool thought, but I hope it's a little more interesting than that. It reminds me of an Apple TV. Although, I wouldn't be against the white. Looks sleek and sophisticated.



It'll be awhile before I figure out how to do one of these. :P

I pray it isn't that small. That probably means weak hardware

If they could do a cross combination of the handheld home console concept, where users can still use some of the games they have on one on the other, it would be awesome. There would just be some minor changes in the controls.

Looks kinda like a flattened Apple TV.

If you look really closely you can see that it is a Nintendo 64

NX can't come soon enough. No more NX speculation threads then.

NX is love, NX is life. NX threads will never end.
