Why couldn't Nintendo just tell us what the NX was two weeks ago? These rumor's could have been tempered at least but NOPE, gotta wait till fukking December to know what the NX is.
If Iwata was here we've would have already seen the console by now. Right now I'm on a NX black out. Next time I wanna see anything NX related, I wanna see the console, the final name, the controller, the gimmick, the games, the release date and the price.
Till then,

That comes with the risk of trying new things. I still believe trying new things is better than just making a generic super powerful console with a normal controller. It's just that in the Wii U's particular instance tablet gaming never really catch on.
I also believe it would have done slightly better if it were cheaper. I don't consider $300 cheap. The problem was they couldn't lower the price without selling at a loss due to that damn tablet controller.

What is the Wii U then?
Tablet controller, $299 launch price, specs were much weaker than PS4 and XB1 which launched a year later. Sounds exactly like what you're talking about.
if anyone is interested, here is a 2 part podcast on the history of Nintendo:
I can't remember where I read it but I think part of the reason Nintendo has had such poor 3rd party for so many years was that they use to be
with them. That, and the fact the certain members of its leadership and stockholders were arrogant meant that when Sony came around with the Playstation the 3rd parties went

My guess is that majority of them just don't see the need to do business with Nintendo like they had to back in the SNES era and just sitting back on some

Can't imagine the relationship doing the NX any favors.

After speaking to seven different people this week, I can say with confidence that this is false. NX is not using x86 architecture like PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The NX has special, custom-made chips and the overall design of the hardware is very modern. The chips are industry leading because they are very modern chips, but having modern chips doesn’t necessarily mean Nintendo is aiming to create the most powerful hardware on the market. Furthermore, any NX rumors on “Polaris chips” and “Polaris architecture” are all wacky. There’s a good reason why those rumors are wacky.
In terms of raw power, numerous sources tell me that NX is much closer to Xbox One than PlayStation 4. Even that might be stretching it a tiny bit. Anyone who is claiming that NX is “two times the power of PS4 GPU” is being misled by their sources. Based on what I’ve heard, I don’t believe the NX will compete directly with PS4 (Neo) / PS4K in raw power.
There will be plenty of debates over the NX’s specs because it’s not simple to directly compare two apples (with x86 architecture) to an orange (that doesn’t use x86 architecture). But everything that I’ve heard (so far) indicates that NX isn’t going to blow away any of the consoles on the market today…except for Wii U.

CD Projekt Red says the NX will be great
CD Projekt Red - "NX Will Be Fantastic"#1
Video in German here.
Full translation here: http://www.nintengen.com/2016/06/cd-...astic.html?m=1
Host: What do you know about NX?
Fabian: It will be fantastic. As developer [CD Projekt] you get access to the hardware and everybody [at CD Projekt] is looking forward. We know things.
Host: Are you lying now?
Fabian: No, no.
Host: Sometimes I cannot tell if you are telling the truth or not.
Fabian: No, no! It was like this in the past as the Wii prototypes came in, back then called “Revolution”. It was so funny that in Japan they were all very excited at the developer studios of SEGA, they thought it was very good. The Europeans took a little longer. Like “Well, maybe this doesn’t work”, you know, because it was technically just a GameCube. It was not much more. But NX what you hear [of the developers] about NX is all very positive.
Host: But the hardware will be much worse than the new Xbox.
Fabian: I think this will never again be the main emphasis in the future [for Nintendo]. Can it [NX] be better than the new Xbox? Take a realistic point of view: is Nintendo able to build a console that has got more power than Xbox?

To add to their statement, before the launch of the PS4 and XB1, a dev from CD Projekt Red said that the consoles were very weak from what they had in mind.
Could mean nothing, could mean something. Then again I do remember devs like Take 2 and EA being hyped for the Wii U and that turned out fantastic.
