As the new year has come, many fans of Nintendo NX are anxiously anticipating the newest installment of the popular gaming console. Based on some reliable reports, the popular Japanese company will release the new version of the gaming console by March of this year much to the delight of the gaming world.

Nintendo NX is expected to be mass-produced in 2016 with the target sales of at least 20 million units. The contract for the mass production of the said gaming console will be awarded to Foxconn Electronics but there are some doubts if the sales goal will be reached.

According to other reports, Foxconn Electronics is only capable of manufacturing and shipping between 10 and 20 million units of the gaming console. The company is neither denying nor confirming this rumor. It has not yet released official statements about the exact number of Nintendo NX units that will be produced by 2016.

Nintendo itself is still silent about the details and features of the new Nintendo NX. However, according to a recent report of CrossMap, the new version of the gaming console is likely to include a new membership service that will accommodate smart devices and dedicated videogame systems.

Many gaming enthusiasts and commentators have further speculated that the new gaming console will include the x86-based microchip either from Nintendo Company itself or from Intel. On the other hand, some are also speculating that the optical drive of the older model will be replaced with either SD card or hard disk drive that has higher capacity for storing games.
