I saw those threads and it was nothing but speculation.

1. How powerfull will NX be?

2. Which architecture will XN have?

3. Will NX be BC to wii u?

4. Will NX have any kind of gimmick and what will it be?

5. When is NX release date? At least, what year?

6. What will be the price?


If it was mere speculation, I wouldn't have been so spot on. I didn't pull those predictions out of my ass - I based them on things Nintendo has been saying and practicing for years. They could have been misinterpreted, but they weren't, because there's enough crossing info out there to squash major misinterpretation like that. 100 slightly different vague statements make for 10 explicitely clear ones.

1. The handheld will be significantly more powerful than the Vita. The console around PS4/XBO level. It's expected to run DQX, to it has to be, though I think it'll err towards being the weakest of the three.

2. No clue, though it'll likely be similar enough to the Wii U for full digital BC. Can't say it won't be x86, but if that means scrapping Wii U eshop BC, it 100% ain't happening.

3. Yep. Likely 3DS, too. Digitally for both.

4. The unified platform is the gimmick. Being able to share a library across multiple hardware interfaces.

5. Next year. Likely the end of November. Wouldn't be surprised if the handheld came out in the summer too.

6. Handheld between $200-$250. Console between $300-$400. Unless Nintendo pulls something out of their ass to make it cheaper. I doubt no disk drive is that solution.

Keep in mind this wasnt any speculation but stated as facts:
