Do they actually use that setup for consoles? I haven't heard about it myself.
In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

It's Nintendo. Does this really surprise you? They haven't tried to wow us with specs since the GameCube. This was also started under Iwata, who seemed to prefer the underspeced route. Considering his untimely death, out of respect I doubt Nintendo will change much from his philosophy for the NX, even if it should have been.
Does this tablet really have a fan? Surely final silicon will be passive cooling or is that the difference between the base and portable use. Soon as you put it in the base the cpu and gpu speeds ramp up and the base has a cooling fan. Sorry if I've missed that point in the thread already.
Still scratching my head about the NX leaks. Seems like a product destined to die very quickly unless it has some sor to secret sauce. I'm hoping for a basic VR setup but I'm game for anything except a simple tablet concept.

Actually *for a portable device* a Parker based Tegra (X2?) is a fucking beast of a chip. It's bleeding edge.
That's like 16x better than a Vita and next to a 3DS ... lol, it's like going from an NES to a Playstation.
And 720p for a 6-inch device is still a pretty damn good PPI, it's almost on par with a $1000 iPad Pro for PPI.
Having a screen resolution over 720p would be ultimately a waste of resources for a gaming-centric device, you'll get a very nice image quality at 720p on thte go at 6-inches provided Nintendo doesn't use an ass quality display and you save on battery life which is more important at that point.
I think the idea of attaching it to a home dock which can increase power would be a very smart way of closing the power gap for home use, my worry there is Nintendo will get lazy and say "well this is good enough" ... this would be a great way for Nintendo to compromise and offer people who want higher end visuals at home a bone. That would be a true "hybrid" device IMO, but we'll see if they do that or not.

Imagine what Nintendo could do if they had Sonys hardware people design a console for them. And all nintendo had to do was make the software for it. Or even if they just had a few people like Mark Cerny... to guide them. I feel the same, that somehow they always make weird hardware choices. |
Exactly. This is why I would prefer them to go 3rd party. It has nothing to do with wanting them to fail. On the contrary, I'd like to see them become one of the largest 3rd party devs/pubs around.
I mean, could you imagine how awesome a true sequel to Mario RPG and/or 64 could be when it's not held back by their HW choices. On a Neo, for example. And they would no longer have to worry about developing HW that appeals to decreasing number of people.

The downside to that is a lot of Nintendo IP would likely get shelved forever.
Nintendo wouldn't bother to make a game like Punch-Out or Pilotwings or Kid Icarus ... they make these types of games now because they have to support an entire platform. Probably something like Splatoon likely wouldn't get made either.
As a third party they'd just become like EA and all these other shitty companies and just pump out Mario Kart, Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, and nothing but every 1-2 years because that's all that would sell and they're under no obligation to diversify their library as they have no platform to really support.
Look at how much more diverse and great Sega's software was when they had to support the Dreamcast versus what it became as a third party.

on top of that i could see Sony & Microsoft getting into bidding wars trying to get various exclusives, meaning i would likely have to own both a Playstation & Xbox to get Nintendo's full output.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

AFAIK, Sony isn't stopping Nintendo from being a Sony-exclusive game developer...

Except the potential sales base for those type of games would be multiple time larger than it is, e.g. for Wii U.
Everything they can currently justify making would become just that much more profitable.
Sega had financial problems... Instead of failing, if Nintendo just went from console success to 3rd party dev success,
they don't have Sega's problem, and the same type of development they might do anyways just instantly has a larger market.
Even if they aren't interested in developing every single IP they hold, it seems like they would be more open to licencing them.
