Nintendo NX: Your hardware prediction / what you would like to see?

Nintendo will pull a Nintendo on us - so I'm staying away from making predictions on NX right now.

Only thing I ask is that they put enough power inside to bring third party developers to the table.

One interesting point is the BC issue - if Nintendo move away from PowerPC architecture then how do the address BC? Streaming a solution? Nintendo have a history of including backwards compatibility so they're going to find that tough to walk away from, plus BC on the NX will make the system twice as attractive, heck of a library to walk into if you've not owned anything Nintendo for a while.
 
Forget about old stuff. Start fresh with x86 and with a powerful console.

This time around work hard on online and create something comparable to the competition and with it offer a service like steam, if you own it, you own the account, not games being tied to console. Also moving forward by staying on x86, all the games are available again on a new console purchase in the future. That makes most sense.

There rumours that the dev kit is very powerful. I hope this is true and the console is released in around 13 months time rather than 24 months. They/we could do with a console that is easily the strongest with nothing coming from competition for 3+ years after.
 
I think it's more of a flippant comment in relation to their lack of power (which isn't entirely without merit when compared to historical trends).
