This is a weird "leak", and people are already going nuts over it...It's weird to say the NX is at 900p and 60fps specifically, I mean, the Wii U can do 1080p 60 if the game is simple enough, so what do those figures actually mean? What the power level targets for most first party games? What it streams to the portable?
What do you call the PS4 for example? It does 1080p 30 a lot, 900p 30 sometimes...
Ascribing those numbers in isolation to it is just weird...

I even doubt that. It's 480p vs whatever the game resolution is outputting right now. I'd avatar bet the whole console is not running games at 900p exclusively.

Yeah... It's pretty funny to see all those people "Ewww if that's true, there's no way I'm touching this thing, ewwww"... But they're so fund of playing their Xbox One and PS4 in 900p60 (at most) or 1080p30, or 900p30, or even less... And what about the fact that a loooot (most) of AAA games that can't even keep a stable 30fps ingame...
Honestly, true 900p60fps would be totally ok. Xenoblade is 720p30 and it's gorgous, Bayonetta 2 is 720p60 and it's great. So 900p60... Honestly, no problem.
you must have missed the entire last 2 years of resolution shit on these forums huh?

Maybe if the OP described the nature and source of these surveys it would clear up some of the craziness.

Agreed. The hardware is done at this point if they are launching it in 2016.

Ok, I haven't read the thread, but people seem to be freaking out.
900p seems to be the native screen resolution of the handheld device. The stationary console will of course be capable of 1080p. Wii U is! That's just probably the target resolution for 3rd party games (many of which run in the resolution already on Xbone and PS4. People say you can barely notice the difference too.)
Excite!

I hate the idea of games being designed with the handheld side in mind. I don't want gimped and/or gimmicky console experience.

PS4 supports 4k video playback.
OT: I very much doubt this is legit. I doubt the res would be lower than the Wii U, plus FPS would be down to the software, not the hardware.
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 conduct any market research, and even if they did, they would handle it in-house.
Neat. Maybe they just wanna know so they can predict how nintendo's stock will fare this year. Make up stuff about NX based on info out there, see how market currently reacts to that information, determine how strong nintendo might be in near future if all the predictions end up true. Seems logical.

This is very fake. Why would it be limited to 900p? Wii U can do 1080p.
Did you think about checking that before posting?
I'm pretty sure there's a good supply of unsold X1s in Japan...

900p60 is fine
however pretty sad they are not going all out in terms of power

I don't know why GAF think Nintendo will match power with PS4 and Xbox One on CPU and pixels. They won't go for 4K Blu-ray, 1000p +, and Dolby Digital soundnor something. They're goinf for something not thr norm or cheap PC parts that they can make a profit. Since I'm not a graphics whore like half of GAF, then colour me intrigued, but I wanna see hardware spec rumours more than anything.

Neat. This should be put in the OP too.

On the other hand, if sharing a library gives me Ace Attorney, Etrian Odyssey, Monster Hunter, Fire Emblem, etc on the big screen.

NX = Nintendo Xbox.
PS4 does not support 4K, there's no option to change UI to run at 4K, and no video streaming service has 4k content for PS4.
No it doesn't.
What a disgusting thread. There is "rumor" in the title and the majority just takes it as fact, because Nintendo equals bad hardware decision. If this is fake, then the fakers know how to sell a Nintendo rumor, just put all the known facts, some basic stuff, bad hardware stats and everybody belives it.
It tells a lot of the mindset of the people here. But Nintendo also need to change there image, because this happens too regular.

I knew there were a few services over there, but never knew how well utilized they were.
It *could* make some sort of sense if it was for the eventual NX Handheld, but as is it screams 'Throw something in that sounds semi-plausible but will kick up a shitstorm'.

Come on dude, I think you can count on two hands the number of PS4 games that are not in 1080p.
Nintendo has a presentation to investors scheduled on February 2nd at 8 PM ET.
They'll probably start talking about NX then.
If not in February, then they'll reveal it like how they revealed the Wii U (in late April).
That's their fiscal year, so I believe they're reporting prior earnings not predictions.
Plus, whilst they may talk vaguely about their projections, don't expect them to go into any worthwhile details.

When it says achievements I feel it's going to be something different than what first comes to people's minds.
Nintendo Direct X Box.
Of course, but assuming AAA levels of fidelity, that's too high for even a hypothetical 9th gen handheld to hit consistently. It's not like Nintendo's art styles automatically cut GPU usage in half.

It depends if their NX ecosystem allows you to take the NX handheld device on you when you go away from your house.
I agree with a few here that have said the 900p is for parity between the home console and the controller - I suspect that the controller is a 3DS type device powerful enough to be it's own console in its right so you can game from home, leave the house and continue as you were on the move.
Gaming on the move, then going back home and connecting to the TV device to continue. Sort of how you might listen to Spotify on the move on your smart phone and earphones, to going back to your home and connecting to your bluetooth device to play music at home.
I think NX is a two console ecosystem. The issue of course is getting both hardware elements to a specification that allows for maximum development potential without making it prohibitively expensive.

I believe 900p is a target and also perhaps the native resolution of the handheld device.
Considering many current gen games run in that resolution (and struggle to maintain framerate at that), it makes a great deal of sense to me. Could also be that they are using embedded memory as a framebuffer again and 900p is the best fit for the amount (32 MB? 64 MB?) that they have decided on.
Oh man, at the people freaking out at 900p. Have you not paid attention to any Xbox One software? Did you really expect NX to trounce PS4 in hardware?
Or you know. The 900p was written by a 12 year old getting the internet riled up.

900/60... Is this some kind of new measure? Also.. looks more fake than my 2 millions dollars.
