NX is 2016.
Is there a source for this? I know it's confirmed that we'll hear about it more in 2016, but when has it been said it's definitely releasing in 2016? Thanks.
NX is 2016.
I'd wager the xbox one will be $199 msrp at some point in 2017, the same year this nx thing is most likely to come out.
I was talking about Xbox One, no way Microsoft will push it under 299$ (it will probably stay at 350 with bundles). NX will be ~250 at D1 imho.
He said that NX will not compete with PS4. What it really means remains to be seen, but i wouldn't expect something around 1.8tflops anyway.
Impossible if so they would be making a super budget Xbox One. The 360 now that reached 179 for the holidays is only 4GB! The xbox one have 1TB consoles nowI'd wager the xbox one will be $199 msrp at some point in 2017, the same year this nx thing is most likely to come out.
Are they? What have they gotten right?
Didn't he allude to good news about the NX recently that's related to the whole power debate?
I wouldn't. The 360 Arcade was the only model to hit $199 and it was pretty severely stripped down on the internal space and also discontinued. PS3 never hit that price. You can't even get XBO's for less than $300 let alone $200.

I wonder if Square would consider FFXV (and KHIII) for the NX as well.
There is a sizable FF fanbase on Nintendo hardware (from the SFC era/Crystal Chronicles, various remakes) and half of the KH games are on Nintendo handhelds.

Look, i don't know anything about NX, but if i believe one thing, then it's the fact, that it won't be a hybrid hardware, because that's what Iwata flat out denied.
Hmm, is there a source for that? Not doubting, just want to see for myself

In regards to price, I say $250 for the Console.
Has Nintendo ever done a hardware reveal/release in the same year?
If the Home NX launches @ $250, then what of the handheld NX?
Still hard to see that. Xbox One is not even 300$ yet. And I believe MS just reported they lost money so even dropping to 350 didnt help much with profits.Yeah you guys are right. $250 then in 2017.
If the Home NX launches @ $250, then what of the handheld NX?

I share Y2Kev's opinion in that anything over $150 is a death wish. Nintendo has got to keep things cheap, especially if they want to ship that rumored 20 million in the first year.
Having DQXI as a potential launch title is a pretty damn big deal, even if it's only a port.
It's funny though how this announcement doesn't actually tell us much about the NX as you would think because we have no idea which version of DQXI is being brought over.
Its pretty crazy that games are being announced for what is currently only a codename.
Has this ever happened before? Was there games announced for Durango or Orbis?
I guess the NX at the very least meets the minimum requirements for UE4.
It supposed to cost less than wii u, right now it is official 300$(was 350$) selling at a loss and Wii was 250$ selling at a profit.Now tell me how they gonna manage to go at least with xbox one level power while costing at worst 250$ and maintening profitability(at least breaking even) and don´t get me even started with the new gimmick that needs a console that cost as low as possible so they can get people thinking "why not?".Or the fact that their hardware business cannot be allowed to become an eyesore when they gonna release 5 mobile games at the same fiscal year as their new hardware.
Miyamoto said very recently that wii u cost too much and right now it is 300$ it needs to cost less than that or are you expecting 299$?
With he possibility of the PS4 version of DQXI being ported like that on NX (if it's not a downgrade, which is still possible, like a ps3 version for exemple), we're facing the real eventuality of a next gen capable nintendo home console.
I can only think.. How is it going to help them... That would be surprising if they adopt that strategy, cause they probably know that's not how they will make PS4 or XBO users to shift. They need something else.
But at least, as i said in the past, i'm 200% convinced artist teams at Nintendo are ready to unleash incredible things with that kind of power, and that's important. What i mean is, in the past, they've been sometimes in difficult situations to upgrade their graphics, cause everything had to be redone with so much more details (i think N64 to GC for exemple). Now they already have incredible models honestly, they've learned how to use modern shaders, modern light, they have great animations..
MK8 is so next gen ready. Keep the same direction, adds way more complex lighting, better textures, complex shaders, some motion blur.. You don't really have to update the models honestly (of course you can) and it'll look surrreal with a good iq.
Why should they do that for you?Did you buy animal crossing,mario kart,3d world,splatoon etc... maybe a few amiibo or at least do you use miiverse?Did you double dip on new 3ds?These are the people that needs catered first not ps4/xboxone/pc owner.
Totally agree with this point, and I think Nintendo definitely started utilising the enthusiast audience in the last year or two with Wii U (DLC, Amiibo) in order to monetise them as much as possible. Your general PS4/XBO owner just isn't interested.
Next year is going to be truly interesting. Nintendo has their back to a wall right now. Let's see what they do, cotton.
They did say Devil's Third wouldn't be published by Nintendo in America... and they were wrong, lol.
They also said the game sucks, and Famitsu said the game was good (kind of).
Can't really trust rumors anymore.
The PC thing isn't that surprising to me (easy way to help salvage the money they've already spent). I am surprised about Nintendo publishing it. I had heard earlier in the year that XSeed was picking up western publishing, well before any of the published information that that effect. I took the latter as confirmation of what I had already heard. I wonder if the subsequent correction that Nintendo weren't going to publish the game but opted to later is accurate.
The Wii U can run UE4, so NX running it doesn't tell us much of anything about specs.
What it does tell us is that UE4 is probably up and running already on NX. Seems unlikely Square-Enix would be the ones doing that themselves. I think that's a much more interesting takeaway here.
The problem is if its $299 no one will buy it. They'll just buy a ps4. Same situation they're in right now with Wii U.

Unseen64 twitter, which has been very reliable rumor source.
Seems like they are pretty reputable based the comments on neogaf and what press sites have to say about them. http://www.unseen64.net/
There's alot between "competing w/ PS4 on specs" (which Miyamoto himself expressed disinterest in just in a recent E3 interview) and a $150 Netflix box.
Remember, we know for sure that the $150 rumor was inaccurate and that the box is more capable than Wii U. Speculate on...

Wii U is no longer selling at a loss. It's part of the reason that their financials improved.
Iwata said:With respect to the impact of Wii U hardware sales on profit and loss, in order to sell 3.60 million units, we have to produce some more hardware units on top of our current hardware inventory. However, since the loss arising due to the hardware production costs being higher than our trade price was taken into account in the previous fiscal year, you could assume that there will be almost no loss this fiscal year for the sales of the 3.60 million hardware units.

eSRAM takes up about 3x more space actually (and draws about 5x the power), but only intel and IBM/GF are making eDRAM now. It requires a specialty manufacturing process and that bit Nintendo in the ass w/ Wii U's chipset.
Please pull the quote.
http://www.npr.org/sections/alltech...on-the-origins-of-nintendos-famous-charactersMiyamoto said:And the reason for that is that, No. 1, we like to do things that are unique and different from other companies, but we also don't want to just end up in a race to have the highest-tech specs in a competition to try to find how we get these expensive tech specs to the lowest price of the other systems. And so there's different ways that we can approach it, and sometimes we look at it just from the sense of offering a system that consumes less power and makes less noise and generates less heat, or sometimes we may look at the size of the media and the size of the system and where it fits within the home.

What UE4 games are on the Wii U?
Has Nintendo ever done a hardware reveal/release in the same year?
Also gives credence to it not being a handheld. If its a handheld stronger than Wii U then wtf lol
Bloodstained is going to. As noted above, it is not officially supported on the Wii U, which is no surprise. Wii U doesn't have the hardware to make it an easy port and it's pretty much dead for third parties who would be looking for UE4 support.
But the point isn't about performance; you can't gleam much other than "yeah, UE4 is running on NX." And that is not a performance indicator with such little context.

That Miyamoto quote really doesn't say that they're averse to a higher spec.
"And the reason for that is that, No. 1, we like to do things that are unique and different from other companies, but we also don't want to just end up in a race to have the highest-tech specs in a competition to try to find how we get these expensive tech specs to the lowest price of the other systems.

He's just parroting the longtime philosophy advanced by Genyo Takeda, which is that game hardware isn't just about pushing the limits of performance but is also about finding a way to achieve efficiency for the consumer - the common analogy is about cars, where there's a lucrative, prestige-driven market for high-performance vehicles but most consumers just want a fuel-efficient, family-friendly vehicle that gets them around.
Nintendo obviously isn't going to fit with the high-performance market; they would be doing themselves (and the consumers who justify the direction they go with their games) a disservice by pursuing that direction. And Miyamoto isn't saying anything we haven't been hearing for the last 10 years.
I think the failure of the GamePad to capture the imagination of the market has resulted in a lot of people sleepwalking into the presumption that NX will just be a traditional gaming box with a traditional interface.
I'm not so convinced Nintendo is ready to shed its philosophy of looking for a unique hook - a 'gimmick' for want of a better word - to marry with affordable hardware
It's why I kind of think the price debate is a little moot.
I think they will go hunting for a hook again, whether it be controller, interface, or something more nuanced.
Im talking about the one the OP was talking about there. Assuming console.No, Matt is also talking about NX being a handheld elsewhere. Both SKUs exist.
