People seem to be forgetting the ps4 and xbox one are supported by large capacity optical drives and have internal hard drives for good storage. The NX is a tablet with games coming on lower capacity cartridges and no hard drive. The ambition of NX games will be closer to portable games than home consoles for that reason. NX games will not compare to ps4 and xbone for other reasons than just gpu or cpu performance. If Nintendo really do use very large capacity cartridges we will pay dearly for those games and they will be uncompetitive with ps4 and xbone pricing.
The comparison of NX versus PS4 or xbone will be like wii vs 360 and ps3. What few multiformat games the NX gets will be cut down versions.
It might be an impressive and interesting tablet system but will be a poor home console.
Anyway do we really want to go backwards again with Nintendo supporting a weak system that performs below that of established console products with large software libraries and are just being replaced with much stronger home consoles anyway which are massively superior to NX.
It's highly likely the NX will be dead on arrival unless it really has a gimmick that can save it. That gimmick is going to be far more important than Tegra X1 in NX's success. |
Try putting your PS4 in your back pack and playing it on the go.
Or playing Android apps on your PS4.
There's your "gimmick".
32GB (and eventually 64GB) is the same size as a Blu-Ray disc too, so I don't think that's that big of a deal. Even the Nvidia Shield microconsole could accept a 2.5 inch HDD inside its casing too.

That is my point its a powerful portable system but is not competitive with home consoles. Also remember Nintendo expresses cartridge size in bits not bytes so 32 gig will be 4 gigabytes of memory and 64 will be 8 gigabytes of memory.
