| NoirSon said: At this point, we can also speculate that the system has a solar power component to help battery life when traveling, we can speculate this because frankly it is about as legit as everything else we've heard about the system from these rumors and 'sources'. Come on Botkai 5: Return of the Sun. |
That would be a textbook balance fallacy. Or rather an argumentative fallacy asserting that all sources are equally valid/invalid. We know that certain sources, such as Eurogamer, have a strong track record. Of course, we can assume Nintendo is 100% accurate, and therefore announcing the Codename NX is also 100% accurate. That Nintendo's patents are strong evidence toward the considerations that their engineers are making for upcoming hardware.
When you have multiple good sources giving the same information, then it is highly likely to be accurate. It is not the same validity as one bad bit of speculation, like your solar power statement.
This Nintendo Fusion leak was the first leak relating to the NX, and they managed to get the codename accurate. We know that X in Japan generally means Cross/Fusion. And that N always refers to Nintendo in their acronyms. We know that Nintendo was working with supplementary computing devices to enhance experiences on the main device. So it was either accurate for what Nintendo had going at the time in late 2013 and early 2014, or an INCREDIBLY good guess, it would be a smaller chance than 1 in tens of thousands.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
