I don't think it's all that mindblowing, it's extra horsepower, an add-on, a (hopefully) much more elegant 32X type of thing, but with modern cloud computing it can share horsepower via the cloud when/if you're not utilizing it. This is probably sensible so that the scenario of "little brother wants to play NX, but NX power is being utilized by John Q 500 miles away" ... the supplemental device will share extra horsepower so the main machine is always available to its primary user(s). Likely I'm guessing the SCD was envisioned as the dock for the mobile NX model(s) as well so that it can play the same games at full fidelity on the TV, but they probably looked at it and said "hey why not allow the main console to utilize this too? Yeah lets patent that", type of thing. |
Um, yes it is mind blowing. You're not understanding what this thing is if you're not. A product like this, from what the patent is describing, would easily become the largest cloud network on the planet, except all that computational power, I'm talking the equivlent of thousands of super computers, could be dedicated NX platforms. That's massive.
What the patent is describing is a network of these things, which means that the more people who buy them, the more powerful the network becomes, and Nintendo would be in charge of it. You are thinking WAY smaller than the patent is. That's why I'm asking if it can provide internet.
