It's times like this I'm glad I'm totally clueless when it comes to specs.

Rumor: GFK Market Research Survey about Nintendo NX leaked

But they did not get away with it...
And 60fps is not a standatd.
Framerate and res are arbitrary elements decided on by the developers. Now Nintendo may think that 900p and 60fps is the 'sweet spot' for what they are using the games for, but its obvious that 4k res and 60fps would be the maximum output resolution on the machine due to HDMI 2.0
In any case, i don't expect NX to be all that powerful anyway and probably not even comparable to PS4 or XB1, although far stronger than the Wii U. Miyamoto already said last year that the NX is all about going in with a low cost for maximum penetration, and that they were not trying to compete with their rivals.
Which as long as its capable of making beautiful games, has a traditional control scheme, and is more supported by nintendo, that's all that matters to me

No it doesn't. Show me a source that proves otherwise that isn't a wiki.
Why don't you read my post? There is no 4K content available on the PS4, and you cannot set the UI to run in 4K. Yoshida saying it supports 4K content before releasing in 2013 means jack shit in 2016. It doesn't have hdmi 2.0 or hdcp 2.2, and thus will not support streaming 4k content from Netflix or Amazon.
If it physically does not play any 4k content, it doesn't support 4k. They might release a new PS4 sku that supports 4k media, but that remains to be seen.
Yeah, it makes sense to throw the sensor bar into the box if our current Wii U purchases will be transfered to the new console AND if they plan on keep releasing Wii/ Wii U digital titles on NX.
Do you play games and keep the screen on all the time with wifi on?
Or is it on standby for most of a day with the screen off?
Your phone also probably costs $400-$600 unsubsidized, though.
Also, aren't a lot of Xbox One games running at 900p? Not sure why everyone's losing their shit over this.
You mean it support 4K via a USB memory or something?
As far as I know we have no WY too stream 4K content on PS4.

Yes PS4 supports 4K, here is a video of it working.

yeah now take a look at the quality of games you play on your phone, and the battery life when doing only gaming
Profit margins on phones are far bigger than on consoles.
Read my post again. I meant 900p in combination with 60 fps and 4k videostreaming. Most read nothing but 900p, which already doesn't make any sense, in context with 60 fps and 4k it is just plain fucking dumb.
Yeah it makes a lot of sense. Add in the SCD thing and I can see it using the extra "grunt" to output at a higher resolution when using one at home or something. Makes sense to me.
This rumor just doesn't make any sense. Why would Nintendo reveal 900p/60 as a console spec?
Also, even if it is true, I love how everybody is acting like this will be the maximum output (essentially less than what the Wii U is capable of). What if this is going to be their absolute minimum output as a standard for every game?
It's still a bullshit rumor regardless.

Word.
I'm just in it for the games. In other words, the wait for real NX news continues.
That'd still be pretty crazy to me. The battery life is gonna be abysmal.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
The display driver (the IC) on the console should definitely output higher than 900p - why limit web browsing to 900p? Moreover that 4K is in the same leak.
The only scenario where this resolution limitation makes sense is for 1:1 game streaming to the handheld, though they did not shoot for 1:1 on the wiiU so I don't see why they should now.

Running a 3D game is much more demanding than checking Twitter. Play a 3D intensive game on your phone, the battery is dead in 2h.
Yeah, you're only proving that it plays a 4K media file through a 1080p interface. That's not native 4k. You physically cannot set the PS4 to output in 4k. Stop with this nonsense.
Am I supposed to be impressed that a PS4 can output a still photograph in 4K or something?

I think i can agree with that. I have plenty of games on Xbox One af 900p, Witcher 3 for example and they look fine on my 55 inch. But if all these games are going to be 60fps standard on the new system....damn. I think i'd rather pick that than 1080p/30fps. I love 60fps.

For the love of god, the PS4 outputs 4k Video and photos....

Except, historically, it's been 10% back for every dollar spent, in addition to points for free physical items and games. Not the stupid hyperbole you just posted.
Just stop. You physically cannot set the PS4 to run in 4K. The most it can do is 1080p. Look at the fucking video settings on your PS4.

You said PS4 didn't output 4k Media. It does Please don't be bitter.
We've been talking about 4K video for this entire thread and you're citing an app that can display 8 megapixel photos on your TV as "4K playback". That doesn't count and you know it.
Also, you can drop the condescending tone. It's not appreciated.

This is some made up bullshit.
This is some made up bullshit.
Resolution and framerate are decided on any plattform at any time by every single developer alone.
The PS4 does not output 4K video at all. Case closed.

Did you actually read the page? Sony themselves are saying the PS4 will play 4K media like video and photos. What part do you not understand?

Wifi is on and I play games, also VR which takes a hit on the battery for sure. The screen is not on 100% of the time obviously. So long as the battery can be removed so spares and improvements can be had/made, then it's no issue unless you really want a weeks play from one charge.
No, you can get my phone and newer 1080p phones with better batteries for £200-£250 on pay as you go. Yes Xbox games and even PS4 games run at 900p, but as many have said, this is a new system and should not match or be lesser than older systems. It kills their desirability, because people do not want to pay more to buy a new thing that is worse than the old thing they own. It's really easy to understand.

People continue to lose their shit over X1 games being 900p.
Personally, I think 60fps being a standard (if that's what this is implying) is significantly more interesting. A system that mostly runs 60fps games while PS4 and X1 continue to battle over resolution would be a very smart zig for Nintendo to pull.
It'd keep them relevant in hardware/performance talks and also provide a very noticeable difference for a lot of players going from a 30fps game on PS4/X1 to a 60fps game on NX.

It's all true,apart from the information part...probably
Boggles the mind we're on page 15 and there are still people who believe this. Apparently GAF is only technologically literate about their console/pc of choice being 1080p times better than someone else's.
Also it's a good survey question because I find 900p60 > 1080p60, but others will not, so definitely something to figure out what is the better marketing message here.
lol, no I didn't.

So a video of it working, and Sony themselves actually saying it works. If that's not enough to prove it, them I'm done, you're clearly too stupid to understand.
