I think you're right to be honest.

I appreciate your honesty in saying so

Agreed Christmas is a great period, if it had been last Christmas i would have agreed, but how many little ones will be wanting a Xbox One S or a Playstation Pro or the older models before the Nintendo unit, only those like ourselves would have dived in with so much out in the space of a few weeks, those already with the other consoles .

Hardware specs leaked.

1 tflop performance
256 cuda cores maxwell gen2 1ghz clocks (this be upgraded to pascal parts on release model)

cpu 4 core arm cortex a57 2ghz clocks, 2mb l2 cache

4 gig ram 25.6gig bandwidth, no dedicated vram

The specs are pretty terrible for large screen use, this to me is basically a new gimmicky handheld that has full screen capability, the controller is too big and cumbersome like the wii-u tho.

So timey, this is basically what you hated about the wii-u but you excited about it.

Nvidia somehow have conned nintendo to taking low budget parts that they otherwise couldnt sell, for comparison the upcoming budget circa £120 gtx 1050 is

650 cuda cores (almost triple of NX)
1.4ghz clocks (40% higher than NX)
2 gig gddr5 (vs normal shared dram on NX)
1.8tflops

The maxwell2 budget part 950 had 768 cuda cores.

Probably about 30-40% power of original ps4, on gpu grunt, but much slower memory throughput and also weaker cpu's.

You got a link to those claims' read it was nearly as powerful as the existing playstation 4.

If what you say is true then that is very disappointing and its only really the new Zelda that actually interests me to be honest at present.

and that new zelda is dual platform so will work on your wii-u

I got the specs from a techreport post on my phone.

In my view nintendo should just stick with the 3DS (but make a big screen adaptor for it). Then only release their new hits on ps4/xbox1/3DS. They should abandon mainstream console projects like sega did.
