Did we do it, /g/?
Did we yell and scream at Nintendom enough to where they're finally listening and making the NX as close to a desktop as possible?

It's more about the possibility of the Zen in the NX than videogames, so fuck off.

That might explain why the NX is being delayed to 2017. But if a Zen 4-8-core APU with DDR4 memory delivers the performance everyone expects it to, then it will be hilarious for Nintendo to be the performance king among consoles.

>all the new consoles are just custom desktops with less serviceability

It was inevitable since the original Xbox. Anything else is excess work with minimal performance gains

I know it was inevitable, it still sucks though.

Yeah kinda does, it was a nice area for atypical hardware. I remember the PS3's cell processor was actually capable of bitcoin mining back in the day. Ran at like 25 million hashes / second. Not comparable to GPUs but beat out all the CPUs of the day

Not just custom desktops. Underpowered, overpriced custom desktops. With locked down hardware. But you get a few exclusives that they paid out the nose to keep that way. Yay.

That's why the Air Force bought so many of them and ran them as a supercomputing cluster, until Sony took away the ability to install third-party software on them.
