I think NX is a distinct platform from the Wii U. They're not going to use things like that outdated IBM architecture again as its killing their hardware margins. They'll probably incorporate elements/design philosophies of the Wii U GPU and memory architecture into the NX, but not a literal chip swap that would allow for literal backwards comp. So those games would still have to be ported, though it shouldn't be such a huge pain in the ass to do it. Should be fairly simple. |
Slow down on your BS. I can't believe I have to draw this to you again, but here it goes:
You forget that x1 will emulate the x360, even though it's x86 and the 360 was power pc and the x1 only has 6x the 360's power. wii u's sucessor will probably have 8-10x the wii u's horsepower, making BC through emulation even easier.
about your "unified ecosystem" bullshit from earlier:
1. untill nintendo says so, it's a fruit of your imagination.
2. if the "unified ecosystem" is true, it won't be the retarded way you think of (sharing ALL games, wich would be impossible and stupid, devalueing both platforms). The correct strategy is sharing VC and games like 2d mario, smash bros, mario kart, animal crossing, splatoon + smaller franchises like kirby, 2d metroid, fire emblem... all with cross buy and cross multiplayer but each system would have it's big exclusives.
3. you mentioned before that a handheld as powerfull as ps vita would be too weak for it. while the 3ds sucessor will be much more powerfull than the vita, that's not the point and you are again clueless to simple logic. check smash bros for 3ds and wii u. the 3ds is 50-60x less poerfull than wii u, but it totally managed to get a lower version of smash. A 3ds sucessor with 300 gflops (probably 15x less powerfull than wii u's sucessor, much better than 3ds vs wii u) and same architeture as the home console could get the job done in a much easier way, 540-720p lower graphics on handheld, 1080-1440p-4k better graphics on home console.
