Nintendo have said their intention was to make it easier to port games. All of these rumors of "one cartridge, two specifications" are based on wishful thinking from Nintendo fans. |
you call it 'wishful thinking', but its just an extremely logical business decision. If Nintendo unified their platforms it would make pushing plenty of software out easier for them and also unite their fans and make for one awesome selling and successful console
I feel like a lot of Nintendo fans these days feel a bit torn on whether to go the handheld route or the home console route (or both in some cases).
those rumors are interesting but I really think it would be more exciting if they have some sort of interconnectibality to their home and handheld NX systems. like not even necessarily a chip card game that could be read on both systems and scaled to higher graphical ability on the home version, but even just a connected online library (i.e. you can download the same games for handheld or home console to some degree and share the library between both home and handheld systems).
a united library would do wonders for Nintendo imo. they are literally the only first part gaming/hardware company that has to work that hard on BOTH fronts to push out lots of quality software. Sony does not do the same for the Vita that Nintendo has done for the 3DS (at least in the past, the software for the 3DS has been a bit dry lately)
I will mention that if the home console NX is not coming out until the end of 2017 that if Nintendo wants to take the console market by storm then I would suggest they attempt to go for graphics CONSIDERABLY better than the PS4 /Xone. if the games only look marginally better then that is not going to sway gamers, especially when at that point there will most likely be talk of the next Sony system.
anyway interesting rumors, makes you wonder what bits (if any) are accurate
