20 December 2016
The internals remain a mystery, though. How close will it be to Nintendo's console?

AnonD-39937, 20 Dec 2016I don't understand why are they using hdd in a gaming conso... moreIt's a lot faster.
And a lot costlier.
I think the point is to keep the price competitive.

            I don't understand why are they using hdd in a gaming console? why not a M.2 SSD? Is a lot faster and stable when it comes to performance.

              But no tablet? That's very odd. I think this thing will probably kick the switch out of the park, as it will most likely have an even better chip that isn't massively bottlenecked.

                I think I'll buy the next one. I hope it supports Skype on TV this time...

                  why no tablet...that is sad

                    I'm so glad it hasn't be dropped like the tablet, definitely looking forward to the release and more infos.
