Nothing is going to stop reverse engineering on a Nintendo product. Hell the Wii U emulator is now at full speed with audio.
Keeping it from having a dual-boot feature and such would definitely help against it lol
Lolno. The internals are being made by nVidia. It's even a using a custom Tegra chip. The chips that were designed for mobile Android devices.
So because it uses a certain chip means you can just ignore coding and everything? All the chip does is make it possible to happen or give games better performance in a mobile state. The extensive coding and testing the developers would have to do to implement a useless dual-boot would just make the cost go up to help compensate the amount of resources they had to use to make it happen. Plus they're only using a chip that is on phones to make it more portable friendly lol
In my opinion, if they go the way they did with the Wii U OS would be the best course of action. The Wii U's OS is already pretty good at having both Gaming and casual internet browsing or video watching, without the need of 2 OS's. If this new console goes the way they did with the OS from the previous, and polish it and give it much better features and code, it would really make the console amazing for all age groups and audiences
Making it have a dual-boot option would just unnessicarily complicate the system and how it'll be used, along with making it have the potential to make the costs higher and prolong the development.
