It won't get there because Nintendo can't afford to put it there like they could with the GameCube. Nintendo's kind of stuck in Wii U manufacturing, due to basically proprietary CPU and memory as well as the gamepad. If the console had taken off, they could afford to order more and get discounts on economies of scale, but they're barely manufacturing them which is a bad combination with the very unique parts they need.
While i don't think NX Home is going to be x86 or anything to normalize with Sony and MS, it is definitely going to be made of off-the-shelf parts or something close to it, at least for the CPU/GPU.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
