With tons of speculation and opinions about the currently rumored form of the NX flying around, I thought we collect the biggest up- and downsides of it.
First, if you havent noticed yet, I'm putting emphasis on the word "rumor"! Whatever we have heard, for now its nothing but that, even if more than one website said the same thing! (remember the controller-leak guys!)

So, IF the NX turns out to be EXACTLY what the current rumors are saying (High-Power Handheld with Tegra chipset, that can connect to the TV and has detachable controllers), what are its biggest Pros and Cons? No need to list everything, just what comes to mind and hasnt been mentioned yet!

Here are mine:

Pro: Take all your games with you!
Im already a huge fan of Wii U Remote play, and, considering my daily 1.5 hours train commute have abused my 3DS nearly to death. Being able to play ALL of the games EVERYWHERE would be awesome!

Con: Powerful enough for Third Party?
While the system will likely be stronger than the Wii U, XB1 and PS4 are probably out of reach for a mobile Tegra chip. I was really hoping Ninteno didnt give up on Third party alltogether, but if those rumors are true, the possibility exists that Third parties are going to ignore NX simply for its lack of power.

 

Those are my biggest Issues about the currently rumored NX, what are yours?
