ok gotcha, ya im really curious how they plan to do it, like Soundwave said, maybe its just multiple form factors with various pricing options.

what are your thoughts on SCD now that you have looked into it a bit more?

I still have about 10 minutes to go but, um, it's a lot to take in lol I'm not going to lie.

From what's being described, this is pretty monumental. At least, it will be if Nintendo actually implements it and can figure out how to sell it. I described the NX, from what I believe it to be, as revolutionary for consoles, but if Nintendo can sell even 10 million SDCs, this is world changing shit.

But I honestly don't see how they'd market something like this, because it's really just an at-home cloud server. It's really boring stuff for the average consumer, and there's no way they can sell it with the console. It'd be too expendive. This is silly, but it would have to look cool aesthetically, it would definitely need to be supported with My Nintendo, and I dunno it would need something else. Like why would a mom want this? I mean, I want this, but this is extremely expensive and boring tech for the layman.

If the cross compatability of the NX hardware devices are reletively dependant on this thing, that might be how they do it. Like if I'm a dad with three kids, I might buy a NX and three NXDS's, and then by the SCD as a way to unify them or something. I don't know. I'm just spitballing. This is really exciting stuff. But nerd exciting.

EDIT: The reason why I bring up that dependancy is because I've always speculated that the NX would depend heavily on the cloud because things like cross save/buy/play etc, but if they have something like this, so much of that stuff can be handled in an infinitely better way here. Like I never even considered them basically creating their own massive cloud farm. Just insane stuff.

its possible that the portable variant of NX might not be able to handle some of the more power demanding games that the console has and the SCD would allow it to play those games without the need of buying the console to play them. So lets say

NX Console-$299, similar power to XB1/PS4.

NX Portable-$199, similar power to Wii U

SCD-$99, can boost Console performance closer to XB1.5/PS4K & Portable performance closer to Console.
