Really excited to see where Nintendo go with their new console! I have seen online that the NX won't be shown at E3 which is very surprising, but as far as I call it will fully revealed later on this year though I couldn't find a specific date.

More powerful than a PS4? That's impressive. I'm therefore assuming it won't be a handheld again like the U was

So if it's more powerful, than the PS4 I wonder if it's going to use the same spec's as what the PS4.5 is going to use.

I'd take a guess and probably use a slightly newer CPU, probably higher clock speed. And the GPU may be a Polaris chip since it releases next year. But probably just the same as PS4 but no CUs locked

The Wii U isn't a handheld.

isn't it both? box and handheld? Like this article picture? The gamepad is still used to interact with and even play no? I'd consider it a controller with handheld qualities. Either way, i was implying they should just stick with a somewhat unique controller along with a normal console. Nothing fancy like a gamepad, keep costs down and focus on power. Seems they have the hardware already done, so now they need to keep AAA devs interested and make sure there online infrastructure is ready. Then it'd be a winner since it would get the same games and the awesome IP Nintendo has

I see what you are saying but strictly speaking the Wii U is not a hand held console. The game pad interacts with the console but you must have the console switched on in order to play games and you must be within a certain range otherwise the game pad will lose the connection.

Hand held you can go anywhere and still play

Anyway moving on I have high hopes for the NX and sincerely hope that Nintendo knock this out of the park because if they don't then it will be a flop
