I'm not into all this technical stuff but I know you guys love to talk about NX so I leave up to you guys to disect this!

Sorry for the thread title change. Misunderstood the video. It should be more accurate now!

Could be true if "completely new concept" means proper hardware for once.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I'm on the floor/

OP: Hopefully! This would be great. I just hope it is at the very least as powerful as OG PS4.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

You had the courage to say what I've been wanting to say for a while.



I would rather he leaked pokemon footage. -.-

Note how he says "believes" instead of claiming to have internal sources ...

This x.x I cant wait till the 5th



If it's the "latest" 14nm Polaris chips. That thing will be a BEAST on a console. It'll literally lay the smack down on the Neo-PS4 which is apparently using an upgraded Jaguar based chipset so games can be fully compatible between the PS4 and Neo-PS4.

This isn't even a competition. It's a slaughter house. If, and a big IF Nintendo is using Polaris.... The NX is a NEXT generation console. Full 9th gen console. In addition to that, it can easily stream 4k at 60fps. So... yeah... graphic whores will be jacking off when this comes out. This isn't a small upgrade like the PS3/360 to the PS4/XBO. This is a generation upgrade as we know it in previous generations.

I'll believe it when I see it. I won't lie, I am a little excited with the possibility. If the NX won't be sold at a lost... The thing will be between $399 to $499... and it's going to sell well with the hardcore. It'll all be dependant on the gimmick, but if they are going this route. I'd expect it will be a normal console with the gimmick being optional. This sounds like an all in bet, much like Sony did with the PS4.




I think we need another "is this why the NX is releasing in March 2017" thread!!!!



His first reason doesn't hold much water since he bases performance on rumors and forgets to consider how much easier it is to hit theoreticals in console development depending on the situation ...

His second reasoning seems more solid but the showstopper is whether or not PSSL exposes GPU microcode ...

Then after that he hypes Nintendo NX to the high heavens ...
