Maybe, it has some hybrid/portable fonction to it, but it definitely won't be something that's just basically a handheld console that you can hook up to your TV. -Nvdia having a partnership with Nintendo ?! Nope. It's probably going to use an AMD chip. - Looks like people don't remember about these NX controllers rumors not so long ago, lots of people fell into it even big ''leakers'' too. I'm gonna trust the words from Nintendo itself to see what the NX is, until then it's all useless speculation ... |
There's nothing that Nintendo has said which discredits anything from Eurogamer.
Even Iwata's quotes regarding the hybrid stuff were taken well out of context, this is his comment from 2014:
Still, I am not sure if the form factor (the size and configuration of the hardware) will be integrated. In contrast, the number of form factors might increase. Currently, we can only provide two form factors because if we had three or four different architectures, we would face serious shortages of software on every platform. To cite a specific case, Apple is able to release smart devices with various form factors one after another because there is one way of programming adopted by all platforms. Apple has a common platform called iOS. Another example is Android. Though there are various models, Android does not face software shortages because there is one common way of programming on the Android platform that works with various models. The point is, Nintendo platforms should be like those two examples. Whether we will ultimately need just one device will be determined by what consumers demand in the future, and that is not something we know at the moment.
He doesn't discount a single device, and who knows from this base NX they could make 3-4 variants too, the 3DS certainly has multiple variants.
