Lets hope they use this SCD patent. Any type of hardware boost would be welcome and at least be an ok compromise between having an affordable system and something that has at least some kick to it when being asked to perform on a 1080P home TV display.
The cool thing about having the Tegra X2 is the processor is likely very cheap too ... so Nintendo could sell SCDs with that chip for perhaps as low as $99.99 retail and that price could even go down as time passes. Bundle that SCD with a free game and it's a pretty neat new hardware philosophy that we haven't really seen in game consoles before.
It would be much more streamlined and better implimented than things like the 32X since the system would be designed to accomodate it from day 1.
