9. AMD Included

Nintendo are taking steps to rival the PS4 and Xbox One with numerous reports suggesting the NX will feature an AMD x86 chip.

There are strong hints that the NX is involved in that, and if so, it could see Nintendo mentioned in the same breath as the other two major consoles rather than put on its own lowly platform way below Sony and Microsoft.
