This simply isn't true, if the architecture of the NX isn't anything foreign as far as hardware goes. 3rd party developers simply don't need a year or two to do ports of whatever games they have in development and if the porting is simple enough it could easily be done in a short amount of time for launch...
Well people saying that the NX will be in the same position as the WiiU doesn't understand the time line in which the two systems are facing. The WiiU came at the end of the 7th generation and struggled out of the gate to clearly show why it was more advanced than the PS3 and 360. The PS4 and XbOne aren't even 2 yrs old yet, so how are they remotely the same situations?
There's a chance that the NX might launch next year and the current systems will only be 3 yrs...
So how much more powerful than the PS4 do you think Sony will make the PS5? People are contradicting themselves a lot, they think that by 2018 Sony will have finalized it's PS5 specs for the console to launch in 2019. Where is Sony going to get this super powerful gpu from and keep the same price as the PS4? We'll be lucky if PS5 is 3x more powerful than the PS4 currently is for the same launch price.
You just can't have it both ways and these semiconductor manuf...
Why do people need exact numbers all of the time, they aren't any exact representation of how powerful in contrast to current consoles the NX will be. Especially if Nintendo is putting their SoC on Finfet.
I would be much happier if Nintendo used a gpu with similar processing power to the PS4 and actually put a good CPU in the system and used HBM while launching for $299. A much better CPU and high bandwidth memory would let games on the NX perform much better than the o...
Not sure why people keep saying that the PS4 and XbOne have laptop gpu's when you can clearly go buy each desktop version right now in stores. The cpu's were definitely laptop grade, but the gpu's are desktop variants.
It's not that its meaningless, we just don't have enough info on everything that was presented. The demo could have been created in an actually NX development environment and Nintendo could have given them recommended specifications on what's needed to run the demo at a decent setting.
Here's what I don't understand is how people expect Nintendo to have such a robust online infrastructure with achievements that match Xbox live, but think they should offer this for free. Now if people said that Nintendo should offer the most compatible experience that they can without charging makes sense. But when people expect them to offer the same experience for free is insane...
I think what I like the most about all of these patents and recent rumors is that it seems Nintendo has a clear vision and direction that they want to go in for NX. Which felt lacking with the WiiU...
I think the unreal projects are an unimaginative vision of what Nintendo would do with such power in a console. Most people don't really get the level of visual creativity when it comes to the art styles that Nintendo would probably choose on PS4 level hardware and that's what's frustrating to see.
I think people are missing the point of where Nintendo needs to be with this next console. People seem to think that they need to completely put out something that obliterates the PS4 and XbOne all for $299. The NX needs to only be able to net Nintendo the best running software across 1st party titles and be strong enough to still have impressive looking games in the face of the next Sony and Microsoft systems.
Realistically what do people think that the next Playstation and...
Why are people so hard of comprehension around here? It was even followed up on Twitter asking what they meant by industry leading chips and they said in comparison to the competition WiiU not being up to spec in the public perception. How does this mean anything else other than they at least want to make a more powerful console than the PS4, which many here seem to think is impossible for some odd reason.
I don't think that Nintendo should worry about if 3rd party developers come back or not. What they need to do out of the gate is have a great launch line up and seek extra 3rd party exclusive games like Hyrule Warriors, SMTxFE early on. Even announce Bayonetta 3 for NX would set the Internet on fire.
They are releasing devkits and you come in here to say this, pointless really... No one that wishes this can state how 100% Nintendo games would sell better on Sony and Microsoft systems than their own. As I've stated before, just look at games that are similar in style and esthetics, how they sell on those systems.
You act and sound as if this came directly from Nintendo themselves. The only news that's been confirmed is that devkits went out and it seems Nintendo plans on using industry leading chips. Everything else is just speculation at this point from news sites.
It's pretty crazy that people are willing to say they will pirate games just in order to play them! Just support the publisher or go play on other gaming systems, it's as simple as that...
Yeah but Nintendo knows that if they show something that looks like the tech demo for a reworked Twilight Princess, it would sell on hype alone.

Not to mention that they way these guys say the game is a complete rework, like what they did with Deus Ex HR. Makes me think they took the ...
That was the thing, they never mentioned 3rd party just top notch publisher. Which many assumed Nintendo wouldn't outsource anything again to outside developers, but StarFox Zero has proven otherwise. Many are expecting a Nintendo direct any day now and the game to be released this November. Twilight Princess is one of my favorite Zelda's and if they rework the parts of the game that could have been better, this will be like a new experience. I remember I didn't care for Wind Wake...
I forgot to mention that when Tantalus teased this info earlier this year, they definitely said that the game would release in 2015 as well...
So people have been discussing something interesting that makes a lot of sense. The developer Tantalus that brought Deus Ex Human Revolution to the WiiU mentioned earlier this year 2 games that they were working on. One was a WiiU games that was being ported over to the PS4 and XbOne (ZombiU) and the other was soon to be revealed their biggest project that they've worked on and it was a rework of an existing game from a top notch publisher (many thought it might be Destiny at the time) t...
I can see Sony doing this to extend the generation and they might pull it in off in the face off the NX launch.
