Shaymin just keeps shooting down all potential rumors with a sawed off shotgun of facts.
But my info is more sound and logical then those of EG and Nvidia tegra or x2 oh wait.... X2 doesn't exist, it's called pascal... but wait.. it's being used in smart cars.
I know it sounds like I'm being cocky, but for the love of Shiggy-san it just makes sense. I mean if you look at history, Nintendo helped build atx from the 64 days and went on being ATI and then was bought by AMD. long long history there between the two.
Nvidia wouldn't make sense, sure they could customized the chips, however Tegra or Pascal, is something that would need to be able to shrink to handheld size, and the battery life is under 2 hours.
And the performance would not me up there for a home console, and would be roughly xbone level kind of power.
Plus it would still be expensive to get a tegra or pascal to fit in a handheld. it just wouldn't work, Nvidia doesn't like to lose money and I don't see them making a deal with nintendo and lose money just to get a foot back into the console market.
Add in the fact Nintendo would see better gains with polaris and much more affordable than Nvidia's tegra/pascal chips.
You could argue that nvidia doesn't have to announce any SoC's as a reason why their behind the NX, but........ They do have to report to shareholders of sales, especially one of interests like Nintendo.
In either case, Nvidia has no SoC's todate regarding to consoles, While AMD has three, with the 3rd to be announced at a later date. I believe that date is nearing.
I don't believe in a hybrid and I think words and comments from Nintendo and the pokemon company are taken way out of context.
Nintendo has stated that they would not be using anything related to the Wii/ Wii U. as they want to distanced themselves from the disastrous sales of the Wii U.
Iwata even shot the hybrid theory down, even if he's no longer with us, I'm sure Nintendo would carry his wishes.
Plus all the mock ups and descriptions of detachable controllers and a tabled look awfully like the razor table which used the Tegra.
I can't help that alot of these so called sources from EG are click bait or and seriously mislead. The EG article was written by the same guy who claimed the 3DS was going to use Tegra. Which we know never happened.
So history repeats itself, you can tell me that other sources are claiming the same including WSJ, however all of them just seem to be piggybacking off EG, but none ever list a legitimate source.
And yes, both WSJ and EG have a history of being wrong, on numerous occasions.
I'd be happy to admit i'm wrong if that's the case, however I believe it will be AMD polaris that's powering the NX home console.
Also, as I stated before, Nintendo would never put all their eggs into one basket. It's just possible that the two systems will share a unified operating system, maybe even using the supposed SCD slot on the NX.
Again, time will tell what this mystery machine truly will be.
