Uh-huh... I don't remember a time when you didn't buy into a rumor. A couple of weeks ago you claimed that you called an Nvidia chipset for NX for years and then I showed you a post of yours from a year ago where you predicted what NX will be. Said post was a compilation of all rumors and patents that were floating around at the time, so you were convinced that AMD was going to provide the chip for NX. Another occasion of buying into rumors was when you fiercely defended Nikkei for claiming that NX will run Android. As if there would be any sense in Nintendo putting a competing storefront on their own platform. |
Uh first of all I was talking about the Tegra X1 (the exact Switch chip) *two years* ago on this board and how Nintendo fans should pay attention to that tech, well before anyone was talking about it.
AMD was the general consensus as the chip maker for a long time, so in going with speculation threads for the NX, since everyone else was talking about AMD, I factored that in.
Nikkei is still reputable and I would still consider anything they report worth looking at because they have gotten several (not just once) things correct about Nintendo in the past. Perhaps Switch was at one point having experimentation with an Android/custom Android OS, it would make sense because they're using mobile components.
A few years ago Nikkei reported that Nintendo had cut a deal for a Seaman game on DS/3DS .... that game never came, so people said "oh Nikkei was wrong", but at Iwata's funeral the Seaman creator was there and speaking with a magazine said Nintendo indeed had a deal for a Seaman game, the game just never finished development.
