| LuckyTrouble said: None of that is "hard confirmation". If you want true confirmation, wait until Nintendo makes their direct that officially announces the NX and what it is. As it stands, everybody guessing it must be a home console is completely forgetting that when the NX was announced, Nintendo said it wasn't going to replace any of their current hardware, but rather supplement it. They had that vague infographic and everything that effectively told people nothing. "But a guy who isn't really all that involved with Nintendo game development anymore thinks the NX is probably a home console!" That is as much speculation on part of that person as every other thread about the NX on this site. |
That's not true. They didn't say it wouldn't replace current hardware, and they definitely didn't say that it would suppliment anything. The exact words were that it wasn't "a simple replacement to the Wii U or 3DS." Not a simple one. That just means that it's not just a regular iterative tech upgrade. It's based on a new concept, that concept being a unified platform with a unified gaming library.
The NX home console and the NXDS aren't simply replacements to the Wii U or 3DS respectively, they're apart of one, singular, unified platform that is a replacement for both at the same time.
They never said that anything would suppliment anything, so I don't know where you got that from.
