I still don't think people want to do anything with a game OS. "Because iPhone" is not a reason.

At least wait until the actual OS for this thing is unveiled, you're derailing every NX thread with some imaginary wonder OS that you've invented inside your head. This isn't even relevant to this topic. This topic is about the NX CHIPSET.

The Apple stuff is just stupid anyway, every freaking industry has some blow hard saying "we're the Apple of XYZ". There is no Apple of anything else. Apple is Apple, they are a one in a million company that is basically a part luxury electronics and part fashion brand basically and even they are largely just cruising off things that Steve Jobs pushed for that are now 7-10 years old. But they can get away with it because they are a "sexy/cool" brand.

You're warping words. Nobody's actively hoping for neat OS features to sell them on NX. It's not meant to be flashy. It's meant to be effective, and it will be. The reality is, that's what's going to sell them on NX. "Because iPhone" was never the reason. "Because of everything Soundwave forgets within a second of reading it" is the reason.

Why the hell should I wait for the reveal when they've told us this stuff already? Why should I wait for Nintendo's permission to talk about something they've already made abundanly clear for over two years now? Pay attention and stop ignoring evidence and awaiting validation.

I'm not derailing anything. Let's jog that memory of yours a bit. I'll walk you through how this whole thing went down. Don't worry - it's not a complicated series of events. First, the thread is about an Emily Rogers rumor primerily about not using x86 and having power close to the XBO. It's not just about the NX CHIPSET. You said NX needs a gimmick to make up for the lack of power. I said it didn't and would eclipse the PS4 and XBO in sales even if it were weaker than the XBO. You challenged me to explain how further. I did. Here we are. You had no problem duking the topic out until your flimsy arguments collapsed under their own flake.

And of course there can be an Apple of something else. Like when NX makes Nintendo the Apple of gaming with their XBO-level console that redefines consoles the way the iPhone redefined cell phones. You know, using boring old UI, firmware, marketplace, OS, and a unified platform. That stuff. Like a smartphone compared to old cell phones, come to think of it.

I actually came up with a term to simplify all this stuff so that I don't need to spend dozens of posts re-explaining it to people I've already explained it to. Don't know if I told it to you yet. I like call the NX a "smartconsole." :)

You're living on a fantasy planet.
