Well they stopped targeting kids so they learned something at least, nintendo always had a thing for proprietaring everything like apple do so that wasn't surprising at all. They also stopped using 6 year old chips in New consoles which is really nice. Nintendo aren't that regressive you know?
when did they stop using old chips wii u old chips *new* emphasis on the new 3ds is still outdated by quite a huge margin the nx hasn't come out yet so that doesn't even qualify so really how aren't they using old chips?
The chip they are using is a maximum of 2 years old since the dev kits are confirmed to be running a maxwell based nvidia tegra chip which the only one is the tegra X1 which launched in 2015. The 3ds' processor was already 6 years old when it launched and the wii u's was about the same when it launched
ok so they got the information from dev kits? interesting well at least there getting better i guess a little late if you ask me
ok come on who uses the period key?
Amd haven't made a mobile SoC yet so that wasnt an option, anyway nintendo also confirmed themselves its a custom nvidia tegra chip and so did nvidia announce it. Let's hope it's pascal since those chips are way more efficient leading to better battery life + extra performance in a smaller package
No they haven't made any mobile device SoC, their K12 chip is launching this year but no OEM has said they are going to use it yet so they where defo not an option for Nintendo.
They have made SoCs yes. I already said that. They have not made MOBILE SoCs, understand now? As in arm/x86 based chip for phones tablets etc
Not really. Look at how PC gaming servers work. The companies that do allow self-hosted servers don't care what you shell out for a server. You can either host it at home, on a dedicated server that costs hundreds of dollars a month, or anything in between that. Look at Source games. Those can be hosted on a $10 VPS with no problems. Of course, if you want to host multiple games you're gonna have to shell out more, but that's beside the point.
Yet. If DVD playback could be added to the Wii with a cIOS, then I don't see why the U couldn't meet the same fate. Though this would also need people that actually gave a shit about the console.
People that aren't morons.
And you're failing English class. We all have our faults.
That's obviously not the only reason why I'm here. There were two other quotes in my post, but you willfully glossed over those because you got singled out for bastardizing the English language. Seriously, though, why would you choose to type like that? Do you like to look like an ignorant individual? I'll never understand why people are too lazy to hit a button.
....clearly not you. If you read the thread though, it seems EVERYONE else does.
I should also point out that the servers used for the Nintendo Switch are hosted by DeNA, Nintendo is more so borrowing them. So Nintendo has to pay loyalty fees for hosting their content on their server. Oh and good servers for better multiplayer you say? PSN didn't improve on performance when it required users to pay for their online multiplayer.
Servers require bandwidth, electricity and maintenance which are all not free
