"Uh, I dunno how careful I should be with it..." proves he has hard time explaining whole concept. He says that because of people being under None Disclosure Agreements, he actually defines the concept clearly, that's why people are able to quote those points. So you are saying $100 just for GPU!? How that's proves that is possible to make and sell home console and handheld and sell with profit for $299!? That doesn't prove anything. Fact is that we curetnyl have PS4 Slim for $299 and Vita for $199, thats $499. That's retail price, which are always marked up substantially for the sales chain to make money when it comes to PC parts, console makers get parts cheaper because they buy in bulk, which would include the handheld component. A handheld using the same core GPU tech would use a smaller processor, which means the smaller units tech will cost a smaller fraction of that. Breaking things down it's easy to make what I'm saying for that kind of price and make a profit. Yes it assumed that NX will be more popular right of the gate, beacuse Nintendo will not repeat mojority of Wii U mistakes (and beacuse Wii U was bloody mess), for instance we know that just Zelda BotW like launch title is much stronger than any title Wii U had in whole 1st year, also it very likely that NX is a hybrid, that means that is a aiming handheld and home consoles users in same time. Its very logical if you have console with instal base of 50 m and if you have console with console of 20m to expect that same games will sell better on that console with instal base of 50m, just for record I talking about Wii U and NX, not about NX and PS4 or XB1 for instance. Assumption isn't fact, it's a personal belief, nothing more. A single game doesn't make a whole platform sell tens of millions of units of a system which will appeal to the 3rd party audience. Better hardware sales doesn't guarantee better 3rd party software sales, Wii is a perfect example of this. TBH PS4 has a massive lead, will likely be very close to 50 million units sold by the end of the year, if not beyond that figure judging by the sales trend. No it's not logical to think that high hardware sales will end up in the system selling more 3rd party software. No Nintendo system since the SNES has had the ability to dominate in this area.
Now I'm not saying that NX can't sell more 3rd party software than Wii U, but in comparison to PS4 or XB1 it's highly doubtful that NX will even marginally incroach on the level of sales thos systems get when it comes to 3rd party games, definitely if Nintendo doesn't attempt to appeal to those gamers. Not exatly, for instance Emily 1st said that NX is not using AMD. Like I wrote, SMD had real source but he losted it very fast, after that he is talking nonsense most of time, he was talking that NX is Polaris based and that will be stronger than PS4, even competing with PS4 Pro, lol. This is a claim, there's no proof it's legit, what other things has Emily leaked to prove she is legit? Dave's initial source was still giving him what was likely valid information until they disappeared and it's logical to actually follow that trend until someone real gives contradictory information, but Emily hasn't been proven to be that, she's not a source in of herself and as far as I'm aware the whole "No AMD in NX" came from other places. AMD have been partners with Nintendo since before they were even AMD, ATI and their predecessors were the same pool of tech developers. Fact is that 3DS really had Nvidia based dev kits, so Eurogamer was partially true. But they NX article is confirmed by WSJ, ING, MWC, Emily, Naten Drake and some other sources. Eurogamer could be wrong, but if multiply reliable sources confirm your story and there is nobady that saying that story isnt true (at least not one single realibe insader), than that story is most likely true. It wasn't final though, Eurogamer seemed adament it was and that didn't pan out. WSJ and co all seem to be piggybacking off of that and there's a history before that of those websites making statements of performance that would be an improvement over PS4 in some part of the system, a core console and handheld component with processing tech as a part of the component with industry leading chips. AMD are the only vendor within the dedicated gaming console space, so they are industry leaders there, NVidia aren't, they're leaders in the PC space for sure, but not in the console space.
We finally have this Morphus tablet, which is identical to what Eurogamer states they've been told NX is in terms of it's physical look and functionality, the Eurogamer rumor sounds bogus too me and it certainly doesn't move Nintendo's console division forward to gain strength. The Morphus device hasn't appealed to many, if NX has that layout it will be ridiculed by the community, not because it's a Nintendo device, but really because it's a copy of a poor market performer. |
