Like I said, Nintendo will aim affordable and yet functional devices.

I don't think Vita is something special toady, but Vita have incomparably better graphics than 3DS and I think there is no really need for better graphics than those on Vita.

Even Vita hardware NX portable will able to run almost evry Nintendo game, but you cant expect that Nintendo will make handheld version of game that will have exatly same graphics like home console version, and its not thing just about resolution.

Like I wrote, great example of what Nintendo will probably do is Resident Evil Revelation for 3DS and WiiU   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4BXd-v095Y

They need to put more effort/thought into the handheld than that. It's time to really start looking at the portable as the MAIN part of the NX equation, not some little add-on accessorie that can get by with 5 year old technology in today's market. 

Even kids are not falling for that anymore as evident by Nintendo hardware sales reaching new lows in both of the last two years. 

Yes I agree with the scalable tech part of the equation, but not with the Vita tech part of it. That thing will be badly outdated by launch day and by year 2/3 will be laughably far behind even $99 tablets in technology of 2017/18. 

At minimum they should be using a chip comparable to the Apple A8X (preferably at 14nm), which will be two years old by fall 2016. 


Of Course they will put more effort into handheld thant thet, Vita has incomparably better graphics than 3DS, and want be little addon accessory at any means.

We know what are main problems with sales this gen, and power of hardware is not one of them. Much more weaker 3DS is selling 5x better than Vita.

I didnt think Vita tech, but similar power of Vita. Who care if thech will be laughably far behind in 2017/18, if games still look good on NX handheld in that time.

I am not sure about 14nm, because next year 28nm will be still cheaper than 14nm, and Nintendo will aim affordable price, not last tech that will largle affect on price of consoles.
