Industry leading to me means compared to ps4 and xbone which are strong last gen pc's and nowhere near cutting edge.  The xbone is already being sold fr 249.99 a year before nx launch and they have some extra expenses like a disc drive and unneeded ports like hdmi in. Nx could easily big 50% more powerfull than that for 399.99.  Mathematically speaking it is very plausable but whether nintendo does it is yet to be confirmed.  50% more powerfull is nothing. that's like going for gamecube to wii.

Industry leading will simply mean that the manufacturer of the processor/apu is an industry leading manufacturer. And you are comparing special offer prices. The Xbox one is not officially priced at $249.99

It has nothing to do with how vetted the information is, its false information.

As I have stated already, NX sdk hasn't even been shipped. And unless Nintendo plan on selling a $600+ console or taking a major loss per unit, the NX will at-best, be roughly the same spec as ps4, at-worst, just below Xbox one.


I don't respond to one person's random speculation. I only react to leaks. And without a disc drive and 150 dollars more in retail cost than xbone and one year into the future it could easily be 50% more powerfull. That's not a big leap.

50% more powerful IS a big leap, as for the Xbox one, you are comparing launch price WITH kinect, to sale price WITHOUT kinect.

Even beyond the issues with finding more powerful hardware you end up with something that would have twice the TDP of the ps4, and Nintendo have never, in their history, gone for hardware that uses high power consumption, they are unlikely to start here.
