While we still don't know anything official or on the record about the nature of Nintendo's upcoming NX gaming hardware, pretty much everyone is expecting it to be a new home console of some sort that will take on the role of a Wii U successor in some shape or form. While Nintendo still have not confirmed this, third party publishers are slowly painting a picture of the nature of the hardware.
Speaking to 4Gamer, Koei Tecmo President and CEO Yoichi Erikawa seemed to imply that the NX would as many suspected be a dedicated home console.
4Gamer: "Lately it seems that [home] consoles haven’t been doing too well, but is that the case? At least that’s what we’re wondering."
Erikawa: "Actually, I think that it’ll start doing much better. The PlayStation 4 has recently surpassed 2 million units in nationwide sales, and Nintendo announced a new ‘machine’ called the NX. From this point forward, I believe that each company will make clear commitments for these machines"
While this statement doesn't rule out the idea of a home console and handheld hybrid, it does seem to imply that the NX is more comparable to the PS4 than to just a 3DS handheld successor.
So, how long do you lot think before we actually hear Nintendo talk about what the NX is?
