1. The Wii U died at $300. Nintendo placed a major emphasis on their next console being of a lower price.
2. Miyamoto said Mario wouldn't be 'til E3 at the earliest. No way they have a new game out at launch.
3. No way the box would be bigger than the Wii U if it's a handheld.
4. "1080p and 60fps are being used by the marketing teams in relation to gameplay on to the console portion. I've heard unconfirmed rumblings of 900p for the infamous hybrid part of the device" makes no sense.
5. This subreddit's verification methods are dubious at best.
Conclusion: Fake
I remember another reddit "verified" rumor that was proven fake, not going to trust it for now.
Two months later:
"Rumor: NX exists"
E3 is only 3 months after the NX launch. That falls within what Nintendo has recently been calling its "launch window" the last couple generations. For example, 3DS launched in March, and Ocarina of Time came out in June, Nintendo talked about Zelda as being in the launch window.2. Miyamoto said Mario wouldn't be 'til E3 at the earliest. No way they have a new game out at launch.
At least try with something believable.
lol

I've talked to the main admin in discord about this, I know him, he's a good guy. He wouldn't post this without reason.
Oh yeah, I had forgotten that subreddits are like community threads. Like how they had an AMA with a guy that said he had NX leaks and the NX uses "DDR5" RAM. lol
(I'm very unfamiliar with Reddit.)
I think its more about the fact that it won't sell at 300$ than people wanting to buy it for 5 bucks.Really cant get people who complain about the 300 bucks.
They want good stuff but dont wanna pay more than 5 bucks for it like wtf.
Stop doing this shtick. It's neither funny nor smart. One 10k is enough for this forum.
Fake.
Like, this is the 200th rumor. I can't even muster some energy to care about this. We'll see the NX when we see it.
edit: ayeeeeee top of the page though!
How are you still hereI've talked to the main admin in discord about this, I know him, he's a good guy. He wouldn't post this without reason.
Do I have to prove it? This was before it was posted.
You're not really believable either because of this^ thing you pulled in that other thread.I did it because I hardly use NeoGAF and my friend wanted to see how easily people would believe it.
Sorry guys, you wont be seeing me here anymore lmao
Some odd inconsistences, first off:
Didn't Miyamoto say that a new Mario title would be revealed at next year's e3? That would be long after launch especially if it's a holiday title.
Same boat, at this point i laugh when i see a new one crop up
Of course not. This rumor is totally bullshit.They would not print NX on the packaging, regardless of if it is temporary. Discredits the whole thing.
4 launch games? Didn't they delay the console so that there would be a more robust launch lineup? 4 is what they made use of the delay time for? What did they have originally, 0?
This is clearly fake.
oops, gotta take this down
Huh? Millions of people paid $400 for a PS4, $500 for an XBox One. And by all accounts, this thing is two devices in one. I don't see how $300 is too expensive for mainstream.
