Let me get this straight. The NX will be a handheld and a home console where they connect together?

Now im no graphics programmer but that sounds incredibly hard to utilize fully.

This is exactly right. Anyone who cites the PC model as an example doesn't understand how criticial the concept of "optimization" plays in the development of console games, and how poorly they would look and run if that is serverely hampered by supporting much larger, less optimized game engines that PC games utilize to support vast amounts of hardware.



Can we stop reporting on rumors of the NX? They're a done a dozen, and always started by people who are just having wishful thinking.



Watch me stream games and hunt trophies on my Twitch channel!

Lol maybe the console after the NX might be twice the power of the standard PS4 :P



I honestly care more about Vanquish 2 being a NX exclusive than the power of the system..

theres a rumor that NVidia basically is giving Nintendo gpus at cost because investors were upset amd had all 3 consoles

Nvidia, the company rolling in money while AMD struggles?  And to make those investors less upset, they're going to lower their profit margin?



Yes lets believe some random Brazillian Twitter guy who has no track record whatsoever.

I bet after the reveal he'll say: "Did I say twice the Playstation 4? I meant twice the Playstation 3, sorry my mistake!" if he says anything at all.

This man gets it. Vanquish was underrated.



I wouldn't mind if it's true. As long as the price falls in line. Which I think is...as possibility. Since Nintendo isn't focused on disc media from what we have seen, the NX won't need any huge moving parts, thus eliminating the need for a blu ray drive of any kind. That knocks a large portion of cost out the window, to be used for graphics or cpu.

If So, Nintendo needs to push 4K streaming at least to combat the lack of a disc drive.



I believe it. These rumors are far more plausible than a weak 720p tablet with a dongle.
