If the handheld was the center of the system then it could play the full game anywhere using only it's own processing tech, it wouldn't need the console to be complete. This isn't a single unit that functions like a hybrid, it's a console and a handheld you buy in the same box at the shop and you have everything, Nintendo can use one complete system with these two units to sell the future of their handheld and console games to a single audience. The beauty of this is that you don't have the limitations of a small tablet form factor, but you can play everything that Nintendo can make going forward and Nintendo's developers will have way less limitations compared to the tablet hybrid approach that Eurogamer were led to believe NX was. |
I think he has poorly chosen words, he later even call handheld "the thing", he could call base unit a home console, it's very obvious he has hard time explaining whole concept, he also in one video called it hybrid.
"I've talked to two people who have used it. One is from Ubisoft and he said programming for it is actually really nice and Nintendo is working very closely with him and that the concept is great because he said, you could play... Uh, I dunno how careful I should be with it... Let's say you could play Assassin's Creed once you have your handheld plugged into your console. And then, you could then detach the thing and take it with you and play the Assassin's Creed mobile game out of your pocket. And then when you get back home, plug it directly in and now it attaches back to the... That's brilliant. That's smart, right? Taking a form of the game with you as you go. So he says it's a dream to code for. And then somebody I know who's played on the NX for 20 minutes said... It's as innovative as they'd hoped and 'we wish we had done that.'"

Can you imagine buying a gameboy advanced and a gameboy player for $350 back in the day? that'd been rediculous. |
No way it will cost $450, after 3DS and Wii U Nintendo will not again go for high price espacily in middle of generation, they know it cant have higher price than XB1/PS4, also Nintendo said they aiming affordable price. Personaly I expecting $249-299 price point.

Its a very similar situation. Wii U was a PS3/360 level console when PS4/XBO were on the way. NX will be a XBO/PS4 level console when Pro/Scorpio just released/on the way. What makes you think mulitplats are going to sell significantly better on NX than they did on Wii U? By the time NX releases PS4/XBO will have sold over 80 million with the majority of the shooter/sports/action crowd already having jumped over from PS3/360, what will make these people switch to NX? Going forward, why will people looking for a console choose NX over PS4/XBO which have established libraries and large online communites for the big games? Why will people looking for the best versions of games choose NX over Pro or Scorpio? There really isnt a scenario that allows for multiplats to sell substantial numbers or being system sellers for NX. |
Fact that NX will sell much better than Wii U. :D
