We talk about that already and like @Soundwave wrote, it's there speculation based just on AMD contract wins announcement AMD made few months ago, they don't have any actual info or source. Eurogamer article, all sites and sources that confirmed that article saying NX is hybrid, so basically handheld but with base unit that will be used for playing on TV. Job listing does not poiniting anything, because Nintendo this holiday season will still have handheld and home console, also Mini NES. It possible that all marketing leaders are moved to NX, and they now need new one for this holiday season. Actually after Eurogamer release NX article, we had just confirmation of those infos from multiple sources, we didn't had any reliable article or source saying those infos are wrong or with contradictory infos. |
Wouldn't surprise me as the Wii U is winding down that a lot of Nintendo marketing staff is being gutted.
They probably want to start fresh with the NX, but they still need to market the 3DS and Mini NES, and even some minor marketing for the Wii U.
Mini NES deserves a lot of attention too, it's probably going to be one of the hot gifts to get this holiday season, and I'm sure Nintendo also already probably has SNES Mini and even N64 Mini units prototyped those will need marketing also.
Even if going forward NX is a "portable" it will still need its own marketing division most likely, because 3DS is likely going nowhere until 2018 at the earliest too.
