    Default Why the internet is in a flap about Nintendo's NX console

    Nintendo is yet to reveal the first details of its upcoming NX console, and we are unlikely to hear anything concrete until this year's E3 conference in June.
    The NX. Probably.

    Regardless, the internet is in a flap about a new set of rumours about a home console and handheld hybrid to replace both Wii U and 3DS.
    Adding fuel to that fire, today saw a marketing survey slide pop up on NeoGAFwith a fresh set of claims - and again, reference to the NX as a console and handheld device. Eurogamer has spoken to individuals who responded to the survey and can verify it exists.
    Whether Nintendo commissioned the survey and to what extent its information represents the console's final form is another matter, however.
    The slide describes NX software as having gameplay which "flows" between the console's home device and handheld.
    Players will be able to earn and share achievements, surf the web and make video calls - so far, so believable.
    But the survey goes on to mention "4k/60fps video streaming" and "gameplay graphics at 900p/60fps". Plenty of Wii U games are 1080p, which makes this claim stand out as odd.
    Eurogamer understands the survey goes on to quiz responders on how much they'd pay for the device and whether they would want a console with a disc drive (or not).
    Another question asks if users would be interested in a Netflix-style game subscription service.

    The survey was posted by major market research company GfK, the same outfit which collects game sales data for Chart-Track in the UK.
    Immediate reaction to the survey - especially the 900p detail - was negative. Although, as already stated, it is likely much of the information contained within was simply to test the waters. Consider the marketing surveys which Ubisoft sends out each year with suggestions for further Assassin's Creed. Some questions reflect features in upcoming games - which are by that point already well into development - while others are there seemingly to simply canvass opinions.
    If this does come from Nintendo, it is probable a similar tactic is being used here. Or, if not from Nintendo, it is another company's best guesses.
    The only thing certain at this point is that Nintendo will reveal details on NX when it is ready - either at E3, or to the Japanese newspaper Nikkei which will publish all the details online prematurely and spoil all the surprises (as has happened in the past).
    We've contacted GfK for comment.

    Nintendo couldn't even properly replace the Wii, nobody knew the WiiU was a new console until people began purchasing it after a year of poor sales that made many stores write it off early on. Until there was a surge in demand for the console, but not enough for Nintendo to even come close to the success of the Wii. No handheld console sold by Nintendo, either as part of a console or a standalone could replace the 3DS entirely, unless it's got the compatibility to accept the cartridges, since the fanbase for the 3DS and Nintendo DS line of handheld gaming devices have been higher than that of the original GameBoy, Nintendo wouldn't just discontinue the 3DS without sorts of a backwards compatibility. When Nintendo released the GameBoy Color, it played regular GameBoy titles. When they released the GameBoy Advance, it continued to play GameBoy and GameBoy Color titles. The DS discontinued the ability to play GameBoy and GameBoy Color games, but allowed the usage of GameBoy Advance titles to still be played on the DS and DS Lite, until the release of the DSi. The 3DS was the successor to the DS, which there is compatibility to play DS and DSi titles, where some won't load on a higher 3DS firmware (Professor Layton and The Curious Village) due to the lack of DS support for older titles. Now this will be the same for the New 3DS and anything that becomes the successor, Nintendo will allow backwards compatibility for only so long before taking it away in future releases.

    Well, considering the popularity of Pokemon GO, that's very good news.
