NiN couldn't wait for Pascal and went with Maxwell because they couldn't wait since they are really worried about a competitor coming to market with a similar if not more advanced piece of mobile tech?
Hmm.. sounds a lot like the NiN stole the Aikun Morphus X300 idea. If there is any truth to this, I would be much more inclined to think that NiN thinks/knows something else is cooking at PS. A vita successor? PS4Portable maybe?
With PS going hardware crazy, I could see it being a possibility, and one that would actually worry NiN somewhat, based on PS's non stop momentum that can't seemed to the stopped.
