Re: Nintendo Bans Online Services For Prominent Hacker's Switch Console

yams99

see, that's a big dumb waste of everyone's time.

Quagsire can just format the console, sell it, then buy a new one. All the buyer has to do is contact customer support to get the ban lifted, because that person is not quagsire. And quagsire, financially speaking, is free to just go start up a new account on his new console, only slightly inconvenienced by his lost save files and eShop purchases (ironically, permanently discouraging him from using the service he's trying to undermine. Why buy when bans are always on the table?)

Re: Nintendo Switch Only Accounted For 7% Of Ubisoft's Yearly Revenue

That "only" singularly makes this the baitiest article I've seen in months.

You ARE aware that in 2015, when wii u was at 10-12 million (same as switch's first year), The Wii U accounted for 1-2% of total Ubisoft sales, yes? Who am I kidding, of course you are. Talking about that, then saying the switch is a massive improvement, wouldn't get clicks.

Re: Editorial: Nintendo NX in Multiple Form Factors Could Shake Up the Video Game Industry

Parallel computing, home and portable connect together and lend each other CPU/GPU power to be on par with ps4. Portable: 720p. Home: 1080p 30fps. Combined: inconsistent 1080p 60fps. $250home/$150portable. All games are cross compatible, which iswhy big publishers are excited for this system. 2 markets in one platform.

All this, if true, will instigate sony to revive their portable platform in a few years so they can also do a parallel computing power boost/cross compatibility.

NX stands for Nintendo 'Cross'. Because in Japan, X = 'cross'. Example: project 'cross' zone. Tekken 'cross' street fighter. If this is true, and it's final name is the Nintendo Cross, and Americans abbreviate it to just 'the cross'. It will officially be the most badass console name in history.
