GfK wouldn't know this info.

This is a fake.

 

[muteki]

900p handheld would be pretty sweet.

 

[DrROBschiz]

It's clearly talking about the console. Look at the "what's in the box" section.

Stop pretending that you know ANYTHING

 

[Blackthorn]

Fake as fuck. Putting 900p60 as a feature makes zero sense, as a system capable of running at those specs is capable of running at 1080p, 720p or anything in between depending on its complexity. It's not a locked aspect of the hardware.

Hell, the Wii U ran Smash Bros at 1080p60!

 

[ekim]

The resolution and framerate depends on the game and is not some system wide setting. lol

 

[JordanN]

What's with the outrage of Nintendo releasing a 900p console when they came out with the 480p only Wii when PS3/360 came out?

 

[iMax]

This image is making me twitch.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

If true....still not good enough.

 

[enigmatic_alex44]

People seem to take this 900p/60fps way too seriously.

Xbox One had mostly 900p games (or less!) in its first year.
It wouldn't take long until 1080p60 will come out on NX.

Also 900p at SIXTY FPS! I'd prefer that over 1080p at 30.
Xbox One doesn't have many 900p (or 1080p) games at 60 fps right now.

What you seem to be FORGETTING is that the Bone is several years old now, same as the PS4, and the NX is 2016 tech and Nintendo's new next gen machine that will be in direct competition with the PS5, Bone 2.

If they are half assing it again and lagging behind even the current machines, the NX will die faster than the Flop U did.

 

[outunderthestars]

900p for games but 4k streaming for what exactly? NCL has never put out a media focused box so why do it now? Even more so why dedicate resources to a feature that most people don't have the proper display for nor is there a significant amount of content; then have said box not provide that 4K content or 1080p GTFO with this 5th grade leak.

900p would be acceptable if the handheld was also 900p. Maybe thats for the handheld, but 4k is still silly.

Fake

Netflix supports 4K. Nothing silly at all about supporting 4K streaming.

 

[BGBW]

At this point Nintendo just needs to reveal the damn thing and end our suffering.

Never. This is the NX experience. NX stands for No eXit. There's no getting off this ride.

 

[88random]

I'm ok with it if it has BC and doesn't cost more than 250-300e.

 

[wiibomb]

A.. Ar.... Are we for real complaning about... 900p?????????

my goodness... I love you gaf

Spoiler

Following the hyperbole

my exact reaction

 

[MrV4ltor]

Guys this isn't fake. It's a real survey by a very real company. Doesn't mean all the info is correct tho.

 

[georly]

If the 4K thing is true (ps4 is doing 4k video sometime soon, too, right?) - then I need to start looking into 4k tvs soon.

That said - how quickly will I blow through my data cap with that kind of streaming? Do they make 4K blu rays yet? How long before a console will do 4K games?

 

[Movalpolos]

Better be under $200 if they are targeting low specs.

 

[King_Moc]

Fake, on the basis that no one would ever specify something as being designed for a halfway point resolution like 900p unless they were trolling.

 

[ElTorro]

The 4k video streaming info probably just refers to the capability of outputing 4k@60 video in general. As far as I know, that would mean HDMI 2.0.

And yes, 900p likely refers to some display with that native resolution.

If that info is correct, of course.

 

[JrBaconCheeseburger]

sensor bar.

please god do not let that be included

 

[Insane Metal]

LOL @ the over reactions in this thread... calm the fuck down guys

 

[Shuggananas]

Guys this isn't fake. It's a real survey by a very real company. Doesn't mean all the info is correct tho.

so it's not fake but it's a whole list of nonsense with no confirmation
not really better tbh

 

[outunderthestars]

Hell, the Wii U ran Smash Bros at 1080p60!

Again, that bullet point most likely refers to the handheld unit.

 

[Naked Prime]

900p isn't really a problem...but who highlights that.....(unless it the handheld)?

 

[NDP_Mulcair]

Guys this isn't fake. It's a real survey by a very real company. Doesn't mean all the info is correct tho.

It's like NPD putting out a survey.

They don't have access to the console because they're not a developer or a Nintendo partner.

They're just a market research company.

 

[Kouichi]

The 900p/60fps section is so weird. What does that even mean? Is that the minimum? Maximum? Every game ever will run with those specs? Maybe it's just something GFK put there without understanding the implications.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

GfK wouldn't know this info.

This is a fake.

It's like NPD putting out a survey.

They didn't have access to the console because they're not a developer or a Nintendo partner.

They're just a market research company.

I'm gonna side with this guy.

I'm just skeptical of this all-around but these two posts seal it for me.

 

[aggienader]

So there's an NX Handheld device that will probably be sold separately? and it "flows" with main console? Interesting.

The rest is expected I guess.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Fucking Donkey Kong Konfirmed brehs

 

[Orniletter]

This has fake as shit written all over it.

 

[RK128]

People wondering why this rumor states that the NX runs at 900p max might be a hardware reason; if the NX is a hybrid or dual console, then the handheld will run at half the power/res as the console.

It mirrors how some of the streaming elements on the Wii U work, with the GamePad running at a lower res compared to the Wii U hardware (TV) and even in Co-Op we see this (Hyrule Warriors runs at 420p for each screen, gamepad and TV, when in co-op + half the frame rate).

This rumor might be false, but I could see it being true if the handheld runs at 450p.

 

[Muskieratboi]

No mention of Amiibo. Fake, or unrelated survey about general future game purchases.

 

[-Horizon-]

4K streaming...what
why
like streaming videos from the internet?
or streaming it from the console to online?
either way...why
That just seems so out of place especially with 900p GAMING! right after

A lot of people are just bad at humor online. That has to be it. That makes far more sense than people even entertaining the thought of there being some weird limit on the next Nintendo console that locks its resolution to lower than some Wii U games.

Sometimes, life is stranger than fiction

 

[Zoon]

Does that mean that if the SCD patent is utilised we can play games up to 4k?

 

[Draxal]

Is shovel knight in smash yet.

 

[orioto]

Or or or, ... it's the resolution of the new gamepad's screen if there is one!

The only way announcing a rez+fps makes sense is if it's a screen spec.

 

[iMax]

FWIW, I can't find any evidence that Nintendo is a "client" of GfK.

I think it's more likely that this is speculative market research instigated by GfK themselves—which is much more akin to what they actually do—based off the NX rumours, which would make sense considering it's using the system's codename.

 

[teiresias]

I find it utterly ridiculous that in a year when I'm seriously comparing what 4K OLED TV to buy to replace my 1080p plasma, that I'm still looking at specs for a damn Nintendo console that list 900p as a resolution. I swear, this company.

That is, if true, I don't see anything that makes me convinced this is real, but the fact that it wouldn't surprise me says a ton about how Nintendo has painted themselves the past few generations.

 

[Shuggananas]

Is shovel knight in smash yet.

chorus kids will release first

 

[Dr. Black Jack]

900p makes sense if the games transfer to handheld and that's the handheld resolution. Hopefully it also means a sub-$300 price point.

I wonder if any second/third parties will go with 30fps and push a higher resolution.

 

[J-Skee]

This is funny & all, but could you actually imagine if something liked this happened. That 35.9 million number would jump to 60 million in 2 months.

 

[maxcriden]

Anyone expecting over 900 hasn't been paying attention to the rumors. No offense. If it's 900 for the handheld tho that'd be amazing.

 

[Trevelyan9999]

Can't anyone make a survey that looks like that? There are some very talented people out there (remember the Smash Bros fakes?) so this would be easy for a lot of people to make up.

However, the 900p thing makes no sense, Wii U has (I think) aleast 10 games that output at 1080p, with Smash 1080/60.

 

[Kiddy Dong]

Lol not buying this at all. Even the bullshit reddit leaker put more effort into his leaks.

This is just regurgitating common speculation with a few oddball resolutions thrown in for "credibility".

 

[Fox_Mulder]

Yep, it's definitely a rebranded/slim Wii U

 

[maxcriden]

It makes sense if it's 900 across handheld and console, or if it goes 900 minimum on console.

Are we thinking the handheld will be 900 as well?

 

[wild wild rice]

What rumors? Wouldn't that make the NX less capable than Wii U in a certain sense?

 

[outunderthestars]

4K streaming...what

)

You can buy 4K tvs for $330 on Amazon right now. Multiple 4K streaming options exist and more are on the way. Why wouldn't a company support it on a console that is supposed to stick around for the next 5-7 years?

 

[Omegasquash]

I'm going to wait until I hear the specs from the horse's mouth, so to speak. Wishes:

1) My goddamn VC purchases roll over (lol)

2) No gimmicks needed. I don't want to have to waggle or touch anything or look at a smaller screen. Not that I needed to do it in every case, or that the smaller screen wasn't convenient from time to time, but I felt like gimmicks ruined some games. So, none this time.

3) BC - Would be cool. If they can, great, if not then well...I have old stuff hooked up.

 

[RK128]

You never know .

Nintendo said a few times they would never release there games on other platforms and becoming third party would shutter many of there development studios (as they would only focus on a few franchises; Mario, Zelda, Pokemon and maybe one more).

But I could honestly see Nintendo work with Sony or MS within the next 20 or so years at some point.

 

[CollectedDust]

If this is true, I'll bet that 900p is the resolution of the handheld device. It makes sense, in a strange way, that the system is capped at the resolution of the handheld.
