Again, the only rumor suggesting it's a tablet is the one suggesting it's Nvidia. If it's not Nvidia, it's also not a tablet, so AMD "fitting" isn't an issue. And yes, the 3DS failure does discredit them. When you show you are willing to publish rumours that are eventually proven wrong, there is reason to doubt anything they publish. Expect a true home console for NX, with a portable element. |
Yes, expect Nintend to put the 60 million sector of their hardware to the back seat, so their thriving home console business can be the primary ... uh wait ...
Eurogamer isn't the only one reporting this. IGN and Peer Schnedier have verified it with their own sources. Peer Schneider has been covering Nintendo online for longer than some people have been alive on this board. Wall Street Journal, LPVG, Semi Accurate are also saying Nvidia based Tegra processor.
Even Julien Chieze, who SuperMetalDave64 was touted as a main source is now also saying that NX is a hybrid device with the detachable controllers.
The day dreaming over AMD tech is the same as the Wii U/Wii 2/Project Cafe days when a certain porition of the Nintendo fanbase whipped themselves into a frenzy by convincing themselves Nintendo had to use the AMD 4850 (a 1 TFLOP GPU) because "it just made sense". The actual Wii U turned out to be nowhere near that. It's nice AMD has this tech. Nintendo won't be using it though.
