On the one hand, it's Nintendo, and they seem to always care more about innovating a new market for customers than innovating for the current market for customers. If they are approaching the NX the way they approached Wii and WiiU, it would not be remotely shocking to see the NX specs land right around those of the PS4/X1.

On the other hand, if the NX is being developed as a reaction to the WiiU's subpar reception, then they might be going hard after the market leaders. Even if the latter is the goal, Nintendo will still most likely shoot for a lower price point, because...Nintendo. That would have consequences, in and of itself.

If Nintendo is aiming to sell their handheld and console models separately with a unified library, then I'd suggest that they use the handheld as their 'budget' option and a strong console as their 'premium' option.  That way, people who want to use Nintendo hardware as their secondary platform get their wish and others that want to use Nintendo hardware as their beefy primary console get their wish as well.

A 480p handheld would be a joke, 1080p home console is ok

I'm sure it'll be at least like the PSV (540p), but it will probably be 720p. Nintendo actually cares a bit about smartphones... iirc Miyamoto was worried about the GBA being fastly outpaced (technically) by phones at the time, so they decided to rush the DS.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

I don't know if Nintendo is willing to spend so much money for an external consultant to explain to them what 1080p60 is. Seems like a waste.

 

You mean like the one they must have hired for Smash?

1080p with 60fps means nothing unless given context. There are many indie games that achieve this. It would be an achievement of they managed to do this on a graphically intensive game. Games like Uncharted, Quantum Break etc push the graphics engine hard with the various fx they put it, be it particles, deformation, destruction, global illumination, high polygon character models etc.

I suppose my question is whether the NX will be able to run games like that at 1080p 60fps or whether it will be less graphically intense games only.

Given the dual screen capabilites of the WiiU, Nintendo has shown themselves more than capable of doing so.

I hope the handheld is more powerful than that at least 720p. As for the console it needs to be more powerful than a PS4 IMO.

Handheld will be at least 540p though I think it will be 720p.
They have talked a few times about smartphones and I'm sure they are aware of how much of a problem they are. They need something great that won't be a joke compared to a smartphone, so 720p is ideal.
Knowing Nintendo, I fear they will go the cheap route and just keep the 480p of the gamepad and call it a day.

About NX console, I expect 1080p and 60fps. Though I'm not so sure, because now I'm starting to think it won't be more powerful than a ps4, just slightly more than a xbox one, so 1080/60 would be impossible right?

here's the thing though:

Rumors point towards a possible hybrid console and handheld. If this is true, then that would mean your spec guesses will make that impossible.


Guys, look at handhelds. You can look for yourself. Sure, back then it was hard to get good specs on mobile devices. However, getting good specs on mobile devices isn't expensive(nor hard) anymore.

Nintendo should not have a handheld that is as heavy as a nokia phone. If they choose to have terrible specs and a garbage resolution(such as 240p), then that just means Nintendo doesn't really care whether or not they fail.

At this rate it's more cheap for them to do a handheld with a good 720p resolution than something gimped. Their stubborness is the only obstacle.
