Nintendo NX To Be Compatible With Xbox One, PS4, PC And Mobile: Analyst

Nintendo is still covering under a wrap of mystery its NX platform, that is set to be a hybrid system including characteristics from both the handheld and home console world. Part of the future Nintendo strategy is also mobile (smartphone and tablet) and this is something we will see becoming increasingly more concrete in a few months thanks to the partnership with DeNa.

Such a high degree of mystery is allowing everyone to speculate on what could happen with Nintendo NX, however, and now we even have an analyst who suggests the platform could be somehow compatible with PlayStation 4, Xbox One and other portable devices.

The report cites PC as well and that could be more possible since you could think about a Nintendo console strictly connecting to a computer in order to make some particular application run or whatever. But PS4 and Xbox One?

Xbox One has a HDMI-in port, meaning that it can output HDMI signal coming from another device (set top boxes, usually), and looking at that from this perspective it could be likely Nintendo is not going to prevent its console from offering such possibility.

Very interesting report by @gibbogame: Nintendo’s NX may work with smartphones, PCs and even rival consoles such as PlayStation4.
