This extra power can then even be distributed via the cloud. That could hint very strongly at multiple types of NX devices at varying horsepower or a (cheap?) central NX device that can be upgraded locally for more power and then that power can also be shared via the cloud with the person having the more powerful setup being reimbursed somehow (Nintendo Account points)? Perhaps the NX can hook up to a home PC as "supplemental computing device"? That means maybe in theory you could do things like run your NX games at 4K resolution if you have a very powerful PC in the house or something. |
How's this, it could also be in thoery for the portable sku to be able to run home variants of games that are reliant on specs higher then itself, I agree this could be a means to have cheaper skus. Remember the patent months back, it mentioned devices reading and communicating with each other, maybe the portable can sync with the home console and play installed games using this.
