I'm predicting next year. I also say the sooner the better, assuming that Nintendo is smart enough to not include some crazy add on like the Gamepad. They could have done the same thing with a controller with gyroscope controls included. That is where they really messed up. Anyway I'm predicting HBM and much more recent hardware.


I want it too but unfortunatly I think that HBM will still be too expensive next year. Besides, Nintendo wants China so I think they can't make an expensive console.


It depends on how far they're willing to go to use it. 8GB of HBM for unified memory should be plenty to last the generation. If they are going with a APU like AMD was saying then 8GB of HBM should be good. Maybe Nintendo keeps a little bit of DDR3 set aside to run the OS. 2GB of DDR3 should be enough to keep it functional.
