According to Yahoo Finance you are wrong. AMD has, according to this "won an order for Nintendo’s upcoming console, codenamed “NX.”" It's interesting how this say's console.

All the Tegra articles make a mention about a handheld. These are two different sets of rumors for two different consoles which go under the same code name.

ibtimes reported on recent job listings by NoA looking to market a Handheld device and another for a Console.

It seems like a lot of people are behind on the rumors. I think the question should be asking which member of the NX family will be using a GPU provided by whom? Right now, it's all speculation. However a lot of the rumors and reports contradict each other unless we take into the account the possibilities of multiple systems. At this point we start to see a clear picture.

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.

You do have a point there. Execpt the Eurogamer article was a repeat of an older rumor. I remember back at the end of April there were some rumors that Nintendo was working with Nvidea on a new handheld NX system. Actually most of the Eurogamer article was just saying the same thing a couple of months later. I was actually having a talk with my friend a day or so after watching Civil War about it. So for me personally. Eurogamer is just repurpousing an old rumor.


Nothing has been fully confirmed and it's still all rumors and speculation. I'm still thinking that we will see two devices that operate under one OS or something. I would be very suprised if we are only getting the one system. I would also be suprised if both systems are revealed at the same time. I think the handheld component will be out this March. The console I'm not sure on. Looking at the specs of the handheld. Breath of the Wild will defiantely run on it and I think it's really cool that you can dock it to your TV and play. That's a feature that people have wanted with the 3DS and DS for a long time. Even if it's a minority of fans, it's a welcome feature. Considring the upconverter to the TV will likely be good. It's going to be one hell of a platform for on the go gamers.

Nintendo has a lot going for them right now and they are going to be a very different company from what we know over the course of the next couple years.
