A Few Gamecube 2 Details
GameCube Successor in Development
Nintendo collaborates with NEC.
Bloomberg is reporting that Nintendo is planning to collaborate with electronics giant NEC on the creation of the GameCube's next-generation hardware successor. The home console, which sources have indicated could debut in 2005 against Sony's PlayStation 3, is still without an official title or codename.
NEC previously supplied the graphics chip for Sega's Dreamcast and Nintendo's GameCube, and has recently invested 40 billion yen into the creation of a new production factory in Kumamoto, Japan.
NEC is working on developing a system LSI that would serve as the core of the new game console.
The continued Nintendo alliance with NEC comes in response to Sony and Toshiba's stronghold on the videogame market, according to Bloomberg.
Yes, ArtX etc. made the chip, but NEC did actual production. I think they will have more involvement in other areas of cube2 this time./\
