I'd love this to be true lmfao.

As fake as Aonuma's "Zelda will definitely launch in 2015" promise.

 



That's why I don't take NeoGAF's rumors so seriously since they fail to fact check in cases like these ...

AMD doesn't manufacture chips like the others said and I highly doubt AMD failed to adequately design some of their parts since Nintendo well knows the limits of their chip supplier for OVER a decade ...



I can't see how a major company would fuck up that badly.



i don't believe this on the grounds that in order for it to be true there would have to be manufacturing that occurred in the USA. we farmed that shit to china.

Worst rumour ever.



"For what is is worth: upstate New York coincides with Global Foundries fab 8 or fab 10.

AFAIK. AMD has long term contracts with Global Foundries, and the two fabs produce down to 14/22 nm respectively.

Of course this means nothing, it verifies nothing, it proves nothing. It does make it possible though"

I have a different theory. NX is clearly something different, Nintendo has never been this secret about a new system(even the Wii motion controls were announced one year before launch). What if they wanted to launch holiday 2016, but then rumours came that Sony and MS were planning updated versions of there systems?

So in fear of them being able to implement any features of NX in the updated consoles they delayed it to March 2017. Also instead of revealing it at E3, they are waiting for Sony and MS to announce their plans or they might even wait until the updated systems are released before unveiling NX.

With how paranoid NIntendo has been about the NX, I wouldn't be surprised if this were true.  I think Nintendo is tired of Sony and Microsoft parroting ideas that they popularize and, like you said; with the two of them coming out with upgraded versions of their consoles, Nintendo may want them to essentially finalize their hardware to the public before they can unveil theirs to prevent their competition from stealing their ideas.



It's possible, but I think the games aren't ready like Zelda.



Confirmed! Xbox One 2 and NX are the same console! Microsoft bought Nintendo!!111 OMG!



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
