| numberwang said: Thinking about it, the WiiU version of Zelda Bofw may be the definitive version if the NX is just a Tegra X1 based handheld.
Price is also key to this, a Tegra X1 handheld could be made for 199$, down to 150$ in two years. Nintendo said, they wanted to go cheap this time. A Tegra X2 would be more in the 299$ range, but I dont think this would give much better graphics for a small mobile screen. X2 would shine with FHD screens though. |
Considering the Tegra X1 is more capable than what's in the Wii U I doubt that would be the case.
Most likely visuals will be improved on the NX if it's packing a Tegra X1, remember Wii U used 40 and 45nm technology, Tegra X1 was a true 20nm part, Tegra X1 is probably a good 2X plus faster than what's in Wii U.
X2 could be what's in NX or maybe the docking station has some additional processing tech to boost visuals when you dock the tablet system in front of your TV. Mobile screens can have the same resolution as their bigger brothers, you can 1440p smartphones like the ZTE AXon 7 (pretty sure there are others). X2 is likely a more powerful processor than the Tegra X1 so I don't know why you would think that it can't produce better visuals on small screens, if anything having a higher level of DPI would make the visuals look better, bigger screens would reveal more issues with visuals.
A handheld with better visuals than Wii U could sell well, provided it's got the right release price and games that appeal to that audience.
