If that's the case, it means great things for both Nvidia and Nintendo. Nvidia's Pascal series has proven its power with the Geforce GTX 1000-series, and given how powerful the K1(Kepler) in Nvidia's latest tablets and the X1(Maxwell) in the SHIELD console, Pascal is set to be a monstrous mobile CPU.

I really hope they are going to use the Tegra X2 chip, otherwise if they go with the X1 it will be so far behind the PS4 that developers may not want to bother (like the Wii U) so it may lack a ton of third party support again. I'm not doubting this might be a good system, but if Nintendo want to profit off this like they said then they should go with a good chip and not overcharge for a weaker one.

Hoping they are using analogue sticks and not circle pads this time as well as they are much much better.

NVIDIA Tegra Pascal will be 6 cores. 2 bigger Generation 2 NVIDIA CPU cores + 4 ARM cores. Then well the GPU which should be somewhere along 2-4 Tflops. :P Knowing Nintendo though if that is the case I expect a modified chip with lesser GPU, but not to much lesser.

X1 wouldn't be bad either. It aims for 1 Tflops. Enough to hold onto bottom end of the PS4/XB1 gen and get 3rd party support. If its X2/Pascal though. Devs won't say no to trying it out.

I highly doubt this many rumors are fake dude.

Lol as if Sonic 2017 will be a very demanding graphical game. Did you read what you posted? Very flawed, its another cartoony game that can run on anything. You ppl love to dream. Now if they said bf1 was scheduled to be nx release than yes, i would agree.

I just looked at your name lol now i know why you are making such comments of delusion lol it will be weaker than vanilla xbone and will in no shape or form play most multiplat games with parity just watered down versions.

Im still excited though due to alluded price and it being a strong handheld.

Them pascal GP100 are powerful end of and in my eyes more capable then Neo..plus neo is just for ps4 games not exclusives so it's bottlenecked by ps4 base model,basically better framerate versions of ps4 base games in ps4 neo,NX power is base model so devs can exploit it....

Plus it will have a dock maybe the dock adds more power ie SCD....basically allowing the pascal chip to run at higher frequencies who knows....maybe that's the idea they didn't want stealing off them...

@Fox the CPUs in the neo and scorpio are horrid so don't expect many framerate increases as much as resolution and visuals.

If the handheld is using Pascal 16nm Finfit Tegra chip than it is the X2 which will likely perform close to Xbox1 which is strait up beast for a portable, also makes a lot of sense for high detail graphics on a 720p screen. This could also mean the base houses Denver chips similar to the setup being used in new self driving vehicles. Those combined could easily reach PS4 level possibly Neo performance which is somthing to be excited about not to mention the potential supplemental computing device upgrade down the line. Even if none of this ends up happening it won't matter much because Nintendo pretty much always achieves more with less compared to other developers anyway.

@SSjDomon

[It's only great news from a portable perspective. Anyone hoping for a competent home console is, yet again, out in the cold.]

But; was it not one of the main problem's for Nintendo is that they could not get many 3rd party developers on board for their Living room console's?

I think in my opinion , that this actually plays into Nintendo's strengths in this case..being that a hybrid Mobile living room console design is geared to now be able to offer 3rd party Developers that mainly target the mobile PC and Tablet market a dedicated Platform where their games can flourish due to now having such a company that's like Nintendo brand power on a world wide market level to have such a platform for those development and Publisher's that may want such a platform.

I think this may infact allow Nintendo to carve itself out a sub section of the game market where Nintendo having the benefits of a platform like The 3DS but have an ability to serve what the goal of the OUYA was trying to obtain.

Even though OUYA pretty much did not build up enough marketable market share so to speak of..it did prove one thing that larger 3rd party publishers like Square gave it a go to see if it's Viable...with Nintendo offering such now but with a far larger brand power world wide..it may infact work very well in the market, of course there is no guarantee's in life that it will. But for me I think it may have a good chance to pull off such a platform in the market.

But the ps4 has sold more than wiiU. Ps4 sales must mean ps4 exclusives are more full of spark, than wiiU exclusives.

No ?

heheh

please sLeep

The version of the Tegra X they keep comparing the NX to is in a device that uses active cooling. With the die shrink and move over to Pascal they might match the Shield's performance in a handheld but that would still make it weaker than an Xbox One. With that said, it would still probably be good enough to run multiplatforms and if it's really a portable device with a 720p screen, most people likely will not recognize the differences visually.

This coming from the guy swallowing rumors, digesting them thoroughly, then pulling them out of his ass as facts when the console isn't even announced yet.

The smart ones aren't making assumptions like that.

The Wii and Wiiu were both bottlenecked by lack of power which is the reason not a lot of multiplats made it to those systems.

Now if a dev can easily shove their ps4/xbone games onto NX then i'm sure lots more third party devs will do just that. Look at Sonic for example, its possible

@Edmix Since when did the Vita have good support? Its practically been taken off the shelves here in the UK. Also there's a handheld called the 3DS which has the best japanese third party support, can't see all them ditching the NX.

If the NX is successful 3rd parties will invest, it's that simple, more about money than anything else.

@eddie- I cannot say that is the reason behind third parties not supporting the Wii U , you have to factor that the PlayStation Vita is clearly weaker than the current platforms yet it's still getting support it's actually getting lots of titles that are not coming to the Wii U, the reason why both those platforms like lots of support is because of their difficult and expensive architecture it's actually why the crew skipped the PlayStation 3 yet is on 360 it has everything to do with the ease of the architecture.

Resident Evil Revelations 2 , Resident Evil 0 and 2002 remastered, world of Final Fantasy and a whole lot of titles did not come to the Wii U yet ironically went to PlayStation 3 , 360 even the Vita as opposed to the Wii U, it had nothing to do with power it had everything to do with an expensive architecture.

If your reasoning is true how do you explain PlayStation Vita getting more support from some developers then the Wii U?

How do you explain that there are several notable releases that are coming out for PlayStation Vita that are actually not coming out on the Wii U, that are also coming to PlayStation 4 or Xbox One?

Just because of developer "can" doesn't mean they will.....

Once again could you please explain why we had literally a huge list of titles that were coming to Playstation 4,3 ,360 Xone and Vita that were not coming to the Wii U?

Power? You sure about that? I'm pretty positive it doesn't take that much power to run I am setsuna or World of Final fantasy etc.

Possible doesn't mean every company is going to jump out of the Woodworks and spend more money on expensive architecture just to produce a port, they didn'tfor the Wii or even the Wii U why on Earth would they for Nintendo's new platform? Once again consider the PlayStation Vita sold just as poorly as the Wii U and it is getting more games by notable releases in comparison.

Wii U is not getting some of the games that are appearing on last gen platforms and Playstation Vita.....

The reason is not solely power as there's a lot of examples that disprove what you're talking about please evaluate what you're saying and come back with a better theory.

The Wii U is very much stronger than the PlayStation Vita....

Agreed on the 2 consoles option, I'm not fussed about an upscaler or power box for playing on the big screen but I'd love a more impressive handheld from Nintendo as long as it's not a pad/tablet.

Except AMD was not willing to divulge any info about the other 2 designs hence why I said it can't possibly be the X1S since that one is releasing soon and we know more about it than even the Scorpio...

Maybe a PS4 Slim?
