I was reading this on Neogaf. It's intresting but at the moment it's just a concept. It could be intended in different ways. Maybe the game console is NX and the "supplemental computing device" is a PC or maybe the latter is NX and the game console is a WiiU or the 3DS successor. Or again, the game console could be a casual AppleTV-like device and the SCD another device made by Nintendo to give it Ps4/X1 league graphics. Only time will tell.


Or even beyond PS4/XB1 graphics. 

Yes, but you still have to consider most current X1/Ps4 users don't care that much about Nintendo. This hypotetical thing shouldn't cost more than a Ps4 overall when it launches.

A common PC as the SCD seems like the best soultion imo, but I don't know if it's feasible. Or even better, let the user choose between buying an SCD made by Nintendo or using his own computer as an SCD.


you realize that as soon as a Nintendo console would hypothetically be at a higher graphical and performance level a huge amount of people on the Playstation and Xbox WOULD care right?

whether its gimmicks like with the Wii, or just technology, people will flock to whatever is the most current system

if the next Nintendo console as the most advanced current specs then third parties will develop for it, in fact the only reason third parties haven't bothered with the Wii U is not wanting to delve into the effort of creating practically totally different games for it in terms of graphical limitations 

 

I wouldn't read into the diagram QUITE as much as the OP has, companies like Nintendo are constantly filing copyright requests for things just in the possibility that they will use them

this could be a very minor added feature or accessory just as easily as it could be major

 

I think there is a MUCH higher chance that the NX will be some sort of portable / home console combination that uses the same software but either through direct downloads individually or through a card similar to that of the current DS (and flash cards can go up to insanely high amounts of space at this point in time)

either console owners will have a Nintendo account similar to STEAM online in which they can download their personal game to their handheld or home console (both systems will have access to the same library) OR there will be a universal chip/card of some sort that is slipped into the handheld or home console

I seriously doubt that in the primary operation of this system it will involve multiple models that will have to be connected to different periphials for varying graphics and performance. its too complicated and historically Nintendo is fairly simple in terms of the universal operation of their systems
