They are. Nintendo has started shifting production to mobile platforms in order to have the largest possible adressable market.
There are few platforms now : AMD64 (PC, PS4, XBO), ARM (PSVita/N3DS) and PPC (Wii U)...
For us, it's not about specs, it's not about teraflops, it's not about the horsepower of a particular system. For us, it's about the content. Nintendo is a content focused company, we create content that makes people smile.
So for us we're focused on bringing our best entertainment to both the Wii U as well as the NX in the future. So for us, whatever Microsoft and Sony are doing in terms of talking about new systems, that's for them to fight out in that red ocean.

Someone has to inform him that Sony and Microsoft are focusing on the contents too...
Ok ok
The handled NX is light and has a ~5" 16/10 screen with decent resolution and motion sensors plus a cam/ir on the back.
When optionally combined with home NX, using an accessory sold apart it doubles as a wireless VR helmet, helping the home console just in input and head position/movement, and hand basic position.
Remember: you heard it here first.

No third parties confirmed... Also Nintendo's content is getting less and less, isn't it? As it take longer to make games.
Nintendo are focusing on unique content.
One E3, one unique game.

From a business perspective I suppose we can consider Nintendo to be in a blue ocean whereas other devs (except first parties) are in a red ocean...
There's little incentive to move from a blue ocean to a red one.

Their 1 year shares look a lot more like a waterfall than an ocean to me.
That and their software sales.

According to @sebbbi 's wishes for ARM consoles, not a lot...
My guess would be it may depend on whether the developer is using a third party engine that is optimized for ARM (e.g. Unreal Engine?) or if they're using their own custom thing.
But if I were to make that choice for Nintendo, I'd definitely go with x86 with UMA and off-the-shelf GPU. The faster you could port from the PC+PS4+XBone, the better.
Reggie is already preparing the audience to show them a console that will run multiplatform titles like crap and thus 3rd parties will lose all interest. Again.
It will be like the Nvidia Shield setup, however it remains to be seen if Nintendo is using the recently announced Tegra or one of the older versions of Tegra that Nvidia is trying to clear out. Not sure on how Nvidia+ARM TFs compare to AMD+x64 TFs.
Oh my god, NX really uses ARM + Nvidia GPU!? Why don't they make a high-end console?
Nintendon't.
It's likely one of their Tegra mobile gpu lines, not anything from their desktop lines.
The only way Nintendo will make a console within the power performance envelope of Sony and Microsoft is if they replace all of Nintendo management. The current management is stuck in whatever archaic self-delusional world they imagine. They dont get any bit of reality that the console gaming market has moved on or what it takes to be competitive. It is self-inflicted, such as not even looking to see what the competition offers in terms of online functionality that every consumer now expects to exist.
Their partnerships with other companies meant to pull them into the current world is laughable at best. They partnered to create a mobile game that is nothing but dress up dolls. Yes it did fairly well, but its not what their core market wants. They want their current IP games available on mobile and other hardware platforms.
I'm not sure on how bad their partnership with Nvidia will turn out for Nintendo, but I wouldnt be surprised to see Nvidia making out like crazy by selling ancient tech of old stck they had laying around for high margin prices.
Competing directly against MS and Sony would be completely pointless for Nintendo. The only way they can make money is by having a unique system. I think the proposed unification of portable and stationary hw sounds really interesting, and NX might be the first Nintendo console I actually buy.
So instead of unification between generations, Nintendo will unite mobile and home console.
So we're taking this as fact; has there been an announcement I've missed, perhaps? Or if not, remind me please, what key evidence exists for this partnership? If it's just that rumored NX capabilities align with NV Shield's capabilities it's only circumstantial evidence, and not absolute evidence of NV's involvement; after all, streaming video, remote gaming and so on have been a thing since PSP/PS3 days.
Another company could replicate NV Shield's tech, because that tech isn't really NV's tech at all. It's stuff that had been in use for years already before Shield ever showed up.
Nothing officially announced, but rumors floating around and from some decent places put Nintendo using Nvidia Tegra technology (ARM) and not AMD. It fits with AMD's 3 product wins being Sony PS4Neo, Xbox One Slim, and Xbox One Scorpio. It also fit better with the delay from Holiday 2016 to Spring 2017, as all console deals with Nvidia have been problematic in at least multiple ways.
Is it possible that 3 design wins actually include PS5?
