Soundwave on 16 September 2015
| se7en7thre3 said: I think its safe to assume the portable version of NX will launch sometime between June-Dec. '16. Its also a safe bet to guess it'll be powerful enough to receive Wii U titles, like Zelda UNX. So unless Nintendo is really desperate to ditch the Wii U because of negative branding/image issues, they can actually ride the NX and Wii U combo for a year or two. There will be no urgency to release a home version of NX, and Nintendo can take its time to decide on whether they want a simple tiny box version of the portable, or a higher end version. The longer Nintendo takes, the better chances of them going with the modern AMD 14nm tech. which IMO means the worst case scenario would be a PS4 level system in 2017. |
Nintendo: And here's our PS4 level system launching with 10 games in fall 2017
Microsoft: And here's our new XBox, launching fall 2018 that's 15 times more powerful with 4K resolution.
It'll just be Wii U all over again.
AMD's 14nm tech is ready to go for 2016 anyway. Use it for fuck's sake Nintendo, not every new product you make needs to have technology from the stone age.
