DigiTimes has reported an intriguing rumor that claims Nintendo will begin manufacturing the secretive NX system this October. This future generation of Nintendo consoles manufacturing time frames seems premature considering the Wii U is only 3 years old. But the rumor is that Nintendo will begin production in October and launch the NX in 2016.
DigiTimes claims
According to sources familiar with the plan, Foxconn Electronics (Hon Hai Precision Industry) will manufacture the console, but Pegatron Technology is reportedly competing to secure some of the orders. Both companies declined to comment on the matter, but if you want to learn more about the technology involved in this manufacturing process, you can visit website for complete details.
Nintendo in March announced its plan of releasing Nintendo NX in 2016 and has started visiting its supply chain partners recently. The orders are expected to be finalized in February or March 2016 and mass production will start in May or June 2016, while the console’s official launch may take place around July, the sources said”.
NX is going to be the console that connects the 3DS, Wii U, tablet, computer and phone all together. We have yet to find out what this NX exactly is or how it’s going to bring everything together. Let us know if you think this rumor is true or if Nintendo will wait a few more years to launch the NX in the comments below.
