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. |
Yeah, we know the name NX because it was confirmed by Iwata last year, the fusion aspect is still mainly speculation because nothing has been confirmed, its logical due to Japan's gaming industry favoring handhelds and Nintendo having their strongest foothold there. But so far outside of hints, we still don't know anything. Nintendo patents a bunch of stuff that at times is produced in different forms and at times never sees the light of day.
Here is everything we know about the NX.
- We only know about the NX is the code name.
- It will be Nintendo's next gaming system capable of playing Wii U level games such as Breath of the Wild.
- It is supposed to released sometime next year.
It could be a fusion, it could be brand new console, could be a new type of handheld or even high end cellphone that allows you to play games on the tv, we really don't know and are speculating. Some speculation maybe accurate but not all of it will be and until we get actual confirmation, all should be taken with a grain of salt since it is being filtered through various opinions on what people think/want it to be rather then what it actually is.
