There was only one of the eleven sources that commented on the story and did so by denying the possession of a 4k development kit. That aside though, the whole story concerned a mid-gen upgrade, not a next generation console. A mid-gen upgrade that was assumed to be cancelled for 2021 due to component shortages. Component shortages were definitely real for Nintendo - hence their downward revision of Switch shipments for the fiscal year - so the Bloomberg article doesn't get clearly contradicted and as such most of the sources should have been correct about 4k development kits. But again, the "non-existent console" that is refered to is a Switch revision, not a next gen device. |
May be conflicting information based on the mass production of 7" 720P OLED screens from Samsung to Nintendo for the OLED model last fall. To the new hardware they are working on.
Zynga were put under the spotlight and are under NDA. If you read theirs and Nintendo's responses they are both carefully worded to avoid litigation “To clarify, Zynga does not have a 4K developer kit from Nintendo”. Who says its a 4K kit? A portable console will more likely that fail to reach native 4K resolutions in current generation games and will only get to that with smart upscaling. Which Nintendo have seen some R&D in as they have set a patent in March 2020 for ML upscaling. This sounds like a response so Nintendo doesn't send out their lawyers.
I also find it really hard to believe that Nintendo would sent out multiple development kits to developers for nothing.
