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. 

So all in all, you normally buy into stuff.

If the person gets something correct first, they have more standing in my mind, not sure why they shouldn't. And I'm just saying that's what the rumor is for fucks sake, I'm not saying that's from a source from me.
