Nintendo NX is a portable console with detachable controllers (Eurogamer)

Eurogamer are reporting that Nintendo's upcoming NX will be a portable, handheld console with detachable controllers:

On the move, NX will function as a high-powered handheld console with its own display. So far so normal - but here's the twist: we've heard the screen is bookended by two controller sections on either side, which can be attached or detached as required.
Then, when you get home, the system can connect to your TV for gaming on the big screen.
A base unit, or dock station, is used to connect the brain of the NX - within the controller - to display on your TV.

It was your last chance, Big N, now if its true youre dead...
Ah and even if its not- they already said NX will be a mix of portable and home console which wont continue 3ds nor U, which means no back comp., so....
And also if its a hybrid home/portable console- current tech will never fit in a pocket with maxed performance, which means weak proccessing power which means less 3rd party devs which means dead console (see also on same topic- wii U). Its not like when wii came out an there were no gaming for casuals, now theres mobiles... ninty please wake up!
Fuck this gen up and youre dead! Two bad consoles in a row means dead company... please dont!

I think Nintendo call pull of some nice looking games though. They managed to get Smash Bros. on the 3DS, with it not being that far apart from the Wii U version (considering the 3DS is much much weaker)
You also have RE:Revelations by Capcom, who managed to make a 3DS game look as good as a 360 game.

The thing the K1 devices are lacking now is dedicated developers. Most of it's games are either ports or android games that aren't made with a specific console in mind. Also, the android OS sucks for gaming. If we get big game developers to create and optimize games with the NX in mind, I'm sure it can beat the PS4 with a few games.
Read his twitter puts up a valid point about why this is ridiculous. https://twitter.com/SMetaldave64

What are you talking about? A hybrid is amazing in terms of home and portable as it means power in your home and outside. The ps4 didnt have a backup and it went well. And yes current tech kinda can with both polaris and nvidia shield.
Who is Super Metal Dave64 though?
He's about as trust worthy as emily rogers if not more.

Some unknown.

IMO, the MH is very likely fake. Hybrid is where the industry ought to be heading
MH isnt fake if it was confirmed in a business report

1. So basically not trust worthy at all? When was Emily Rogers ever right?
2.MH doesn't exist, it was a scenario made for that article...

Both really aren't hard to do... The date and a random game are nowhere near as big as the concept of the console.
I recommend actually reading what they say before calling bullshit.
Heres a quote:
Same would apply to any Third Party game made for PS4 as the target system. Porting down to Tegra X1 = not worth it.
Are you trying to tell me that, thats not logical?

1. Nvidia shield ain't as powerfull as gaming pcs nor ps4, ulness I miss smthng...
2. Know why normal gaming PC is better then gaming laptop with same specs? Cause cpu and gpu work a ton better when cool then when warm. And good cooling device isnt gonna make a portable console slim, so its gonna be very fat...
3. Big CPUs in general are better then smaller CPUs of same generation (again, Im talking generally). To my understanding in each gen theres a "best" density of "processing power"/"volume it takes". If you take some small proccessors and stick them together into a bigger one - mosta time its gonna work better then the small parts its made of. So even if we gonna get more good small CPUs- the bigger ones are still gonna kick their asses... like I didnt see scientists using smartphones to calculate complex shit, only building- sized super computers....

Isn't it possible that this is the controller, since it looks like an advancement of the wiiU controller to me. I seem to remember them saying they wouldn't abbandon everything of previous consoles up until now.

I dont think you understand the meaning of "hybrid" this means a p2p system between a portable and a home console meaning that the portable wouldn't need a very powerful processing chip as all the video is streamed to it. Next, a gaming pc is better as it can hold a much larger better gpu.
Next, big cpus aren't better, its the density of pins on the back (forgot the technical term.) What you say about bigger ones is just bullshit, do you even know how pc's work? A quantum computer chip is tiny but wrecks all chips larger than it. Phone chips cant get better because of heat not size.

Nah, its a new console.

What is the point of having two little detachable controlers that are just like 1 stick and 4 buttons? What kind of games do you want to control with that?

Its not ergonomic either. Making it impossible to play some twitch reaction games like smash and I don't see any possibility of more controllers. That's why this things fake.

:rofl2::rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:

Early last year
Fans: Hey Nintendo, we heard that you're making an android console
Nintendo: Dont' believe the hype, we're not making a Android console

Mid last year
Nintendo: We didn't want to show the NX UI because it looks too much like Android
Lighty: Uh huh.... but you're not making a Android console right.....? Suuurrreeeee

Today
Source: Guess what muthafuckas! NX runs on Tegra and it's dev kits include a fairly known Android tablet, the Google Pixel C
Lighty: LMFAO I told you fools! :grog::grog::grog::grog::grog:

Streaming is shit even on the nvidia something. If theres no server like 1 metre from yo house streaming is slow as hell. Also that would need some net, which is pricy on the go(at least in my place) . About the quantum com. 1. I said (twice) "generally" and 2. If you make two (or hundred) such computing chips work in parallel the computing power will increase. And still its not in public use. Also, all the cpus that are made for REAL computing like in science are HUGE, like some km squared... why is that? Dont they see that your tiny little chip is faster then that?(sarcasm)
Always bigger is better when talking about same gen tech of same tier. Just place more cores and your output quadraples!
So as I said streaming is stupid, slow and still not ready, mosta gamers prefer to run games themselves, and bigger is better, so you gonna need to choose decreasing size or performance...
