Forums - Nintendo - New NX details [Rumor]

"Metroid from Retro Studios"

Nope.



Around the Network

$350 with it being just slightly more powerfull than the PS4 at the end of 2017 will mean the console is DOA. By that time the PS4 will be $250 or $300 + AAA game and the PS4 will have an installbase over 60million, probably even 70million. Nintendo either has to launch at equal price and same/better specs, lower price at same/slightly worse (XB1 level) specs or higher price and vastly more powerful to stand a chance.
I also refuse to believe any rumor which says that the home console is not releasing at the end of this year due to this: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=214126&page=1#

The amount of details given make it sound exceptionally fake, especially for the home console which isn't due til 2017 yet they already have the size of its HDD and price point. 2 things we didn't know about the Wii U and PS4/X1 til 6montsh before their launch.

Beyond that you can't say the handheld will be just a bit above the Vita and then say it will run two 720p screens simultaniously. The home console sounds terrible. 2017 is too late in the game to not be significantly more powerful then the PS and not have a cool gimmick to make up for it.Which leads to the final nail in the coffin for this rumour. There is no innovation. At least try and incorporate formless screens, television streaming for the handheld or something. Nintendo have stated several times that NX will bring a "new experinece". I don't expect Wii levels of new but I expect from then a 3DS HD and Wii U2

Maybe that's the price they are planning. But of course it can change.

Who said that this is everything the NX has to offer?

For such a detailed report I think they'd point out any big unique qualities if they knew them.I don't believe this rumour, infact it feels like one of the faker ones I've seen but of course, none of us know what the truth is.



lol



Did anyone make a copy of the SMD videos? It would be fun to see comparisons of his 'source' vs all these other crazy rumors.

It's hard to believe any NX rumor that goes into specifics about hardware specs since Nintendo has been going above and beyond to keep everything about it a secret. It's doubly hard to believe said rumors when they are posted on an anonymous imageboard where anyone can pull the "My daddy is Nintendo" card.

Yep, if 2016 and 2017 are both around 20m sold years, I could see the PS4 being around 75m units sold by the end of 2017.

And priced at a 249$ for slim model. A 300$ NX barely faster than a PS4 wont give it any huge advantages.

 

Same, I think the NX is a home console and its launching this year.

The sooner the NX is out the better for nintendo.



Man, Nintendo needs to reveal this console so that all the rumours dry up!



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Lmao I can't take this much fakeness, slightly more powerful than PS4 launching in 2017 at 350$/€ ? From Software exclusive game ?

Don't forget the handheld only slightly more powerful than vita with two 720p screens.
