How could the console be much or any more powerful than Wii U and how could it be an effective handheld from a battery standpoint? If they have some true genius masterminds that can figure those two things out, then fine I guess. But I don't see a fusion console that doesn't sacrifice power on the console side and durability on the portable side being a reality. Both the console and portable aspects take hits. It's like combining both to make both inferior products. I think it would be a huge fail, and this time they wouldn't have a successful portable market to fall back on like the 3DS. |
Mobile processors by 2016 will be quite powerful. The Tegra X1 which is launching *this* May in a $200 mini-console from Nvidia (sold at a profit with 3GB RAM no less) generates about XBox 360/PS3 visuals, maybe slightly bigger. It runs Crysis 3 for example. This is a mobile, smartphone/tablet chip mind you.
Lets say Nintendo had a similar class of chip for the NX portable.
If they put three of those in a box for the NX console (brother system), it would be a fairly large upgrade over the Wii U.
Nothing to throw a party about OK, fine, but Nintendo's games already look fantastic on the Wii U really. Something that's even a nice sized upgrade over that would be OK I think.

OK great, but then what are we looking at from a battery standpoint when it's used as a portable? I'm no techie, so I really don't know but I wouldn't imagine a decent portable battery life being very feasible.
