true. looks like your favorite sources were right, and tbh i'm really excited can't wait to see the final product. Some people are kinda mad as usual, but a handheld with this power is greatness imo.

Pokken selling close to a million on the wii u is pretty good. Yes its a diferent type of game bu pokemon fans are buying it. Its sold alot more than tekken on wii u.

I meant to say that if the nx sells well and is powerful enough third parties will make games for it if they sell.

It will be more appealing to casuals because it looks like a tablet that plays Nintendo games at home or on the go.

To make a $400 + console?.... I really, really doubt it.

They've already been touting about power NOT being their primary focus, so you already know the answer to whether they were holding out for a new chip.

I think Nikkei is correct on this one though. "Custom Nintendo OS" could still encompass a forked version of Android, Amazon already does this for their Kindle tablets and phone. 

Nikkei has been correct multiple times in the past (Nintendo making a 3DS XL, Nintendo making smartphone games, Nintendo funding a Seaman game ... that was true, the series creator confirmed this at Mr. Iwata's funeral, the game was never released). 

That seems a lot of wishful thinking, but I do agree they should have just gave in and put android on it, go the full path, but:

"Another source said the system would run on a new operating system from Nintendo. It won't, contrary to some earlier rumours, simply run on Android."

That should have specific advantages too, if they want to customize their software to take better advantage of the hardware.

I guess we'll have to wait and see, but 1 thing seems certain, it's a handheld replacement. I thought that would be the case for a long time now, but these news pretty much confirm it.

If this is true, I'm not even considering it. Nintendo is already making be feel anxious about considering a purchase, but these rumours are only making me more skeptical.

But that Tegra X1 is at 20-25watts only.

Nintendo could have "overclocked" it and use say 40watts or so, when its in its docking station.

It could probably be in the 650-700 GF range, if they simple overclocked the hell outta the chip, and gave it better cooling.

It would still be weaker than a Xbox One, or a PS4, by roughly only being half as strong, but it would still be a big upgrade from the Wii U in terms of power.

Tegra X1 has a processing power of 1 Tflops, which is a lot lower than PS4's 1.8 Tflops. FF VII Remake already looks like it is pushing the PS4 hardware. Even if overclocked it would be less than required. I don't know if Tegra X2 exists yet xD

When you try to make a device that combines two world, you have to nail it or otherwise it would be a mess. Nintendo learned that with Wii U, and because the Eurogamer article is so scarce with details, I can't see how it will work.

That mock-up with the portable and the detachable controllers details what appears to be a tablet, otherwise the controllers would be tiny. That doesn't go well with portability. And at the same time, those controllers may be smaller than a wiimote, so I'm sure how comfortable they'll be while playing with the device connected to the TV.

I'll wait until Nintendo unveils the damned thing to make a final decision, but so far it doesn't appeal to me.

Alright, smart guy. If this thing is supposed to be a console portable hybrid, how is someone supposed to play their motion games on the go?

It doesn't make sense.
