Nintendo Aims to Ship 20 Million NX in 2016
Not only will Nintendo provide more information in regards to their upcoming NX console in 2016, the company wants to ship quite a few units–20 million, to be exact.
According to Digitimes, Foxconn Electronics, the company chosen by Nintendo to mass produce the NX, will begin production of the console by the end of the June 2016. The site also reports that Nintendo plans to ship 20 million NX consoles in 2016–twice the Wii U’s install base of 10 million; however, Foxconn expects only to ship 10 million by the end of next year.
While little is known of what the NX console is actually capable of, earlier reports from the Wall Street Journal reveal that the NX dev kits, sent out to developers in early 2015, contains ‘industry-leading chips’ that will not only make it more powerful than the Wii U, but the PS4 and XBOX One as well. Until more details surface, fans will have to wait seven months until the NX is officially revealed.
