If the NX released both the handheld and home consoles at the same time...

If they got AMD to make a cheap, low cost 14nm equivalent to the Wii U processor (which will probably be like $20 tops) and threw that into a box with a X86 processor + relatively off-the-shelf AMD modern GPU ...That would theoretically be able to run every single Nintendo and PC game ever made and more importantly every PC game already in development.

That means Nintendo could have thousands of games overnight, because developers wouldn't have to port anything. The games would already work. GTAV? Works. The Witcher III? Works. Metal Gear Solid V? That works. Super Mario Galaxy 2? Works. Mario Kart 8? Works. Splatoon? Works. Day 1. No problem. 

That's kind of a genius idea. Add in that maybe the new 14nm Wii U type chip maybe can also run/emulate Android apps, and the library such a device could have would be staggering. THAT would be cool. That would be a legit game changer.

No convincing, wrestling third parties to make games for your system, no "wait and see" from developers, their games are already working on the system from day 1. That's brilliant. Then between the console/handheld, since they could use that same Nintendo chip at least they could both share Nintendo games, but the console would have every PC game too (well mostly).

 

So the Nintendo console and handheld would use Windows + DirectX? Otherwise only a fraction of PC games would run. No GTA V, no Witcher 3, no MGS V, no CoD, no Assassin's Creed, no Tomb Raider, no FIFA...
