What do you think the next Nintendo console, assuming there is one, will have? So far what I know about it is
CPU designed or produced by NEC
And that's it. I'd guess NEC will only produce the CPU, but who knows, maybe it will even have powerVR technology integrated into it, making for a potentially kickass gaming cpu. As for a gpu, I think their only choice would be grabbing whatever ATI has at the time, unless they've started working on something. Though if the next system did have powervr technlogy, I could see them passing on ATI completely, especially if microsoft goes ATI. The other alternative I could see would be stepping out of the console business and making a gameboy advance that can also hook up to TVs, either a mini version of the gamecube+gameboy player, or something with powerVR technology. Oh yeah, I also still don't see nintendo having any serious Internet gaming, and probably will go for a $200 or lower price point.(Unless they really want to compete with the PS3 on an equal or better technology level.)
