The Nintendo NX has been anticipated since its maker confirmed a 2017 release. Despite of this confirmation, Nintendo has been pretty silent when it comes to details about this device.
However, according to DigiTimes, the Nintendo NX's production will start by early 2017 instead, which is six months later than the company's original mass production plan. After all, according to the unnamed sources stated in the article, the game console's delay is due to the company's desire to further improve the gaming experience for the NX, as well as incorporating a virtual reality functionality for the system. This ensures that the NX will have an edge over its video game and mobile game competitors.
Furthermore, the Nintendo NX will integrate video gaming and mobile gaming, with its 5 to 7 inches screen coupled with both a controller and a joystick. This will enable users to use the NX for mobile gaming as well as a video gaming device once it's connected to a television set.
According to Polygon, the Nintendo NX will also have the capabilities to be connected not only to other Nintendo systems but also to PCs as well as smartphones. This is something unprecedented, and a lot of fans are expecting this device to be on a whole new level compared to other upcoming consoles such as the PS 4.5 Neo and Xbox One Scorpio.
However, other than the Nintendo NX, these consoles are still unconfirmed. But Yibada reports that Nintendo plans to release around 9.5 to 10 million units from the NX's first production instead of the original 20 million units it first revealed. Despite this, the delays in this device's release are still inevitable due to the fact that the adjustments and new negotiations with suppliers and distribution channels will take up the freed time. In any case, fans might be able to get more information about the Nintendo NX at the E3 2016, happening next week.
