Will NX be based on a Zen+Polaris APU?

I struggle to understand how we can say we have a source more reliable than Emily. Some folks are setting themselves up for disaster if they want to believe internet rumors over official sources. Its utter madness.

The Nx will not be more powerful than the PS4 but neither is the Xbox One and it gets plenty of 3rd party support.

Its crazy to think that a random 'insider' has more knowledge yhan an actual employees. And making her out to be this pathological liar is really disturbing.

Nintendo is not Microsoft. Since when is PS4 some uber-miracle console? It's outdated today plain and simple, as evidence by Sony themselves readying PS4 Neo. PS4 is nothing special.

That said Nintendo will probably do something stupid like go lower for shits n' giggles. They're probably not getting a ton of third party support anyway.

Yikes. She was quoted as saying it wasn't as powerful. My argument is that it doesn't need to be. What is your beef with the PS4? Nintendo for its part excells at getting performance out of its consoles and, with the right approach,  it shouldn't be hard for developers to optimize it either.  The Nx needs 3 things to be successful:

Strong exclusive lineup: check

Third party support: so far seems likely so check

Competitive pricing: not sold at a loss so not expensive to make... check

 

If it plays to its strengths it doesn't have to be a powerful behemoth.
