It proberbly won't even have more then 4GB of shared memory, even if it would match the Tflops it would still be worse resolution because of this and I doubt its going to match the Xone TFlops, actually, concidering the nvidia chips used the processor will even be slower and it won't be a octacore either, and the processor in the ps4 and xone is already pretty terrible.
We also need more data on the cardridges, will they be as fast and hold up as much storage as a harddrive? 4k games are generally around 60-80GB and 1080P games are 50-60GB in some cases already, they showed NBA 2k17 which is one of those games that is 50GB+ will the cardridge hold that?
Do we need to use USB HDD's again? that would make the base price of the console higher and also again it will reduce performance because they also need to be able to run without it
there are so many freaking things that point towards this console being NOT in range of the original xbox one that this discussion is completely setting a unrealistic expectation untill we see the specs.
One of the most TELLING reasons to assume the sceptics are right is this:
IF IT WAS MORE POWERFULL THEN THE XBOX ONE NINTENDO WOULD HAVE RELEASED THE SPECS because that would be a HUGE selling point.
A Xbox/ps4 powerfuill tablet, hell, id pre-order it ! |
There are some misunderstandings in this post.
Carts will almost always be faster than a HDD. No moving parts, just a stream of electrons :)
Nintendo doesn't release specs of their systems since... the Wii, I think.

Carts should be faster, but its not a sure thing. But the biggest issue is the size, if they want to put nba 2k17 on the console and the cards are less then 50GB then there will have to be concessions, or a download for the additional download and a massive storage in the console.
IT would be great if the cardridges are 64GB and there is a huge storage, think about it, when a game releases like red dead redemption 2, which is the biggest game to release next year and even if it fits on a cartridge it would still recieve massive updates, where do those updates go on the tablet?
So its not misleading, its a bold decision that might bite them concidering third party support and the quality of third party games, untill we know the full specs we won't know but its very likely the storage speed won't be a problem but the storage amount will be
