I agree that NX is likely both a new console and handheld line with a shared or partially shared software library with crossbuy capability. I agree that x86 and ARM are the only viable solutions for NX, probably ARM since x86 currently uses too much power to be used in handhelds smaller than tablets, while it should be possible to build an ARM console that at least matches Xbox One's specs for a decent price by 2016. I hope the article is right about DeNA bringing Nintendo Network up to speed with PSN and XBL, with achievements and other modern online features, though I'm not so sure it'll happen. That July 2016 release sounds too good to be true imo, didn't Nintendo say they wouldn't unveil NX until E3 2016? Would they really release a console just a month after it's unveiled? The only way I could see a July 2016 launch is if Nintendo unveils it at their own event in early 2016. |
No, they said it will unveil NX in 2016.
