My initial thoughts

- So the hybrid concept was basically true? Maybe 1.2 TFLOP console + 300 TFLOP portable that can share games and combine together at home for 1.5 TFLOP+ at 14/16nm? Something like that? This is likely going to have to be $299.99 minimum at launch.

- We should be getting some leaks now that kits are out in the wild. 


tbh I'd be pleased with this, as it falls in line with my expectation.

But how does that coincide with "Nintendo would aim to put industry-leading chips in the NX devices, after criticism that the Wii U’s capabilities didn’t match those of competitors." which, especially with that underlined qualifier, suggests Nintendo will aim to be much more aggressive in that regard.  You think this is unneccesary article filler or is there some truth in it?  And wouldn't that mean something more powerful than PS4 etc?

"Industry leading" could mean they are using 14/16nm tech (relatively new) maybe even HBM2 RAM or something, and 1.5 TFLOP or so would be virtually indistinguishable from their competition so that would fit with that quote. Hopefully we'll find out soon via leaks for sure.
