That sounds like pure BS... Nintendo wouldn't break backward compatibility by going with AMD SOC x86 instead of ARM + Nvidia.

Basically assures it will be hackable to pirate games. There will be plenty of vulnerabilities with the chips.

No surprises here:

- Battery Life
- Weight

are higher priority at Nintendo then bells+whistles & performance.

Given the Nvidia APU would be ARM+Nvidia GPU vs any AMD x86+AMD GPU APU, Nintendo can/could maintain backwards compatibility.

While personally I'd like to see 'handheld gaming systems' more closely replicate the hand-to-hand distance of a 'standard' controller, having decent runtime on battery & weight down is important to.
