Rumor: GFK Market Research Survey about Nintendo NX leaked

To my understanding a lot of people in Japan use the streaming services Nintendo provides.

I'd love it to be to have a frame-rate based technical development and not a resolution-based one.
Bring it on.

Honestly guys....The 900P/60 FPS rumor is what sorta makes this more legit,
It's so Nintendo to be like people cant tell the difference between 900P and 4K.

I only skimmed past that post but unless I missed something, I thought it was just that poster having a giggle.
Regardless, yeah, it's clear that this is probably nothing at this point. Those links and Mulcair's posts wouldn't hurt to have in the OP.
Now this might start to make sense if confirmed.

They LOVE to sell to the Blue Ocean market even after they rejected them after the original Wii fell out of favor
How much does your iPhone cost (not subsidized), how many 60 fps games do you play on it and how much battery do you have left if you play a 60 fps game for 1 hour?

err, I haven't got a clue what was cropped at the bottom of the survey. I just thought it was pertinent to point out that a large piece of information was handily missing...

This. I am actually right now working on a market survey questionnaire for one of our business clients and if they want to test a new/unannounced product we usually have to adapt / forge main attributes of the final product as the competition obviously also tracks such surveys.
So, yes, interesting insights, and the basic idea (flow between mobile and console derivate) sounds comprehensible but especially the mentioned hardware specs are not to be confused with an official announcement / confirmation.
Wow you all are taking this way to seriously. It's fake.
if 900p is true, lmmmmmaaaaaaooooooo
dead in the fucking water. keep in mind this is 2016 and ps4 came out in 2013. that shit should read 1080p/60fps, no questions asked. unless they're REALLY pushing the limits, it should be running any third party game they get as well as PS4 if not better.
at least they got achievements. in 2016.

This was a much more interesting rumor, true or not.

Yeah, that doesn't really mean much, even assuming it was true, yet it's much more specific than someone saying "900p / 60fps."

If Nintendo actually does have anything to do with the questions in this survey, it's actually probably a good thing they put in the bit about 900p.
They might be trying to gauge reaction, which is overwhelmingly negative. So it might be like, will people be alright with an Xbone level gpu?
Nope, I guess we're gonna want to get this up to at least a PS4 level gpu so we can at least reliably target 1080p.

Damn it Nintendo, we're reaching critical mass here.
You need to reveal some concrete details about this new system of yours. People are getting antsy.
Timing is just about right. Just go for it. We're sick of rumors but we're dying for info.

Regarding that 900p/60fps, a few thoughts:
1. Nintendo has already demonstrated on the Wii U that they can pump out some absolutely gorgeous visuals on that hardware. Mario 3D World, Captain Toad, Xenoblade, Donkey Kong, and to a certain degree W101 are head and shoulders (partially because of art style) above what we got on PS3/360
2. If 60fps is a standard for the majority of games on the Wii U, I'll gladly take the hit to resolution.
3. The cost of the standard box needs to be low. Like, $200 to $250 low. I don't mind them skimping on hardware a bit if it means the box is cheaper.

The potential inclusion of the Sensor Bar is pretty interesting. On one hand, it's good that Wii Remote support will be maintained. On the other hand, with the lack of a bundled Wii Remote, I don't see many developers using it. It's a bit of a shame, because it would cost them very little to just include it at this point.
With VR becoming big, a return to motion controls may be imminent. New ways to use it will be born, and the control style could gain more acceptance by the core audience. Wii had some really intuitive motion control-based games, and I want to see more of that.

Japan still uses faxes, Fisher Price Nintendo services probably seem like the future to them.

I am not sure what that means, how many polygons are rendered @ X framerate depends on so many factors beyond hardware that the statement sounds suspect as being some sort of real thing.
But don't you see, that kind of rumor wouldn't have gotten as many clicks and replies as this.
With Microsoft and Sony having huge media arms with a lot of say power and influence, this behavior can almost be seen as extortion.
Information Age is much crazier than I imagined growing up.
The PS4 and Xbox One barely have any 1080p games to begin with...

At this point the NX could be anything.

Yep, actually leads credence to this leak
C'mon, you know full well that no console would realistically have a fixed resolution/fps output. That's absurd.

Yup. I've been saying this since the very first NX rumors. I think NX console will be roughly 2-2.5x the performance of th Wii U at best.
Edit:
False. Almost every game on the PS4 is 1080p. Only a few aren't.
Because nobody with common sense would believe it.
I guess not!

ok japanese blogs started to pick up this rumour haha
What if NX is already in the house??? D:
The 900p is likely for parity between the "console" and "handheld" sides of it. They are likely aiming for the exact same visual output on both. If it is a single physical device, it is likely the best they could do on the handheld screen, while it would output to a TV using HDMI at 900p.
The NX will likely look much like the WiiU controller without the physical console. It may have a small receiver that it sends picture signal too (like WiiU controller from console, but in reverse), so you don't need to run HDMI directly from the controller...

Everyone still uses fax machines. It's the most reliable way to send a document because you get a confirmation that a document has been successfully received.
Unless your post was sarcasm.

Reading the Twitter posts of "Emily Rogers" who apparently knows what that survey contained, it does seem like they're speculating hypothetical NX features and asking survey participants what their reaction would be if the console had those features.
Nintendo gets European sales data from GfK to monitor the health of the retail video game industry but their relationship with GfK Group is largely tangential outside of it.
Furthermore, it is my opinion that the NX is already a finished console design-wise that's launching this year. There is no need for Nintendo to conduct any market research, and even if they did, they would handle it in-house.
