This is what bothers me more. NX shapes more and more to be the 3DS-successor. As such battery life is important. I wait for the reveal.

I also think Nintendo will give up on home console completely. They will say NX is the successor of the WiiU too, as you can connect it to the TV. Which will be basically a lie.

Going by the rumors I expect there to be a separate handheld based on a smaller Tegra.

I don't really care that the home console part is slightly weaker than the X1. It will still be enough to deliver Nintendo's 1st party games at 1080p60.

NX really shouldnt launch at over 249$ imo.
And I believe nintendo can manage that and still sell the NX at a slight profit.

The chip costs for a tegra mobile chip should be much lower than whats in a PS4 or XB1.
They dont need to spend any $ on a blu-ray drive, and they can use small cheap flash memory instead of supplying it with a HDD. Use of cartridges means dont need to install the games, just run them strait off of it.

Tablet with controller + docking station (thats basically just a chargeing port to sit the tablet in) for 249$.

I dont see why not.

The problem is that line of thinking didn't work with the GameCube either. People were willing to pay more for the PS2. 

For that strategy to work, the systems have to be expensive, and they're not, you can get a PS4 for a reasonable price, Sony/MS would just position the PS4/XB1 S as the low cost alternatives, and NX would be stuck there with 15 games vs. like 3000+ for the PS4. Even $399 for a PS4 Pro isn't expensive really, it's with inflation the same price a launch Super NES was, $399.99 is just a standard price point these days. 

Whereas for parents a $269.99 NX "tablet" (lets say) next to a $400 iPad Mini is pretty good value considering it can do things other tablets cannot. 

They missed the bus this generation, if they want to release a "serious" console now it has to be Scorpio tier or probably even better than that (PS5 competitor). You can't show up 3 1/2 years late in this business, you are in for a rude, rude awakening. 

GameCube would've trounced the PS2 given a 3 1/2 year headstart, any system with that long of a headstart is going to be make short work of a similarily spec-ed direct competitor. PS4 would dismantle a 2.5 TFLOP 2017 NX. Absolutely take it to school. 

Well, finally Nintendo will go 3rd-party and produce games exclusively for mobile devices...

The 2DS cost £79, I struggle to believe $79 is the US RRSP. The truth is the 2DS has kind of sold like crap (5m units to date), I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo is just getting rid of stock..

Regardless, NX is 100x stronger than the 2DS. The 720p NX tablet couldn't be $99-149 because it wouldn't powerful enough to compete with the Wii U when docked let alone match it in portable mode. they're paying for a GPU infinitely more power, a more expensive screen, a more expensive battery to support the additional power, more memory, better microphone/speakers, better everything... Its just makes no sense to compare the 2. The NVida shield tablet which without a controller is using a much older tegra chip then whats reported in the NX is selling for $179-$199. Obviously as Nintendo isn't the provider of the parts themselves they'd probably sell the same device for a bit higher. Add the fact that NX will likely come with dock/controller. $199 is absolute minimun and $249 makes most sense if they want to ensure profitability.

I see it as a strong possibility for Nintendo giving up on home console altogether. Connecting the handheld to the TV may be enough. But it's just speculation at this point, just as the thread-starter. Nintendo needs to finally reveal what the NX really is.

If they are trolls, they may have spread some of the rumors on purpose.

352 GFLOPS / 320 spu / edram until 550 Gbit /s (2 times gdr ps4p, and less latency) 

Wiiu have 2 screens.... 

That is a old thread from 2013, back before people really knew.

Now in 2016 we have people confirmed its 176 Gflops, after haveing looked at die shots of the GPU inside the wii u.

"The Rv770 has 180 lots of 5 shaders giving a total of 900 shaders of which only 800 were enabled on the full fat die as the other 100 were spares to increase yields. Looking at the latte die it appears to have 32 lots of 5 shaders which is 160 cores meaning 176 GLOPS is the correct answer." - Marlenus

160 x 2 x 550 mhz = 176000 flops  (176 Gflops)

Everything else beside what I just wrote above is wrong.

Now you know, stop spreading wrong information.

If this indeed will be Tegra based, then the other semicustom win AMD must be talking about must be an Amazon console.
