Nintendo NX: 7 New Leaked Details You Need To Know About

5. 4K/60FPS Video Streaming

For all the early rumours focusing on how the NX was going to be first and foremost a gamers' console, Nintendo are as aware as anyone that even a gamers' console today needs to double as an effective all-round media centre. So you won't hear too many complaints at the prospect of 4K, 60fps video streaming on the Nintendo NX. But what's significant about this is that mentioning it as one of the core features of the NX sends the message that Nintendo wants to present its console as having equally good media centre functionality as the PS4 and Xbox One. 4K video streaming would be useless without the corresponding TV-streaming apps to go with it, and Nintendo consoles have traditionally been poor at supporting them, with the few Wii U TV apps like Netflix, BBC iPlayer and Amazon Prime not getting the same level of support as their PS4 and Xbox One counterparts. Nintendo needs to get up to speed on the video-streaming side of things, and this is a positive indicator that they're determined to do it.
