if one remains in the idea of a hybrid machine, there exists another possibility…
NX HH could be equipped with one will tegra X1 coupled to a system of streaming like the gamepad which is not limited to WiFi direct, but as I in already emitted board the assumption could diffuse a H265 video stream via Internet or the 4G…
HC could be a smartphone to optimize games way comforts, a smartphone at low cost (100 euros max) solid and very adapted to the young public that Nintendo to lost with its portables… to combine the market of the games smartphones + exclusive games type 3DS on this smartphone Nintendo …
And obviously to conceive a special PAD which could accommodate this smartphone in order to have true a portable console. It suffices then for Nintendo to creates a link between the fixed part and the smartphone passing through any networks (Internet, 4G), to integrate a chip of decompression h265 in the smartphone… What would make it possible to play everywhere in streaming with the games of HH equipped with a TEGRA X1 on Smartphone NX from the moment or one is connected to a sufficient flow…
In addition, if connection is insufficient to play in streaming, Nintendo could use the streaming for interfaced HH on the screen of the smartphone, that would make it possible to off-set calculations on the fixed part equipped with Tegra X1. The framerate, the resolution of the video stream have little importance for surfing on the Net or to surf in the menu… on the other hand the smartphone with 100€ will obtain (by procuration) the computing power of Tegra X1 (can be possible in 4G)…

So, NX could be HH with Tegra X1 + low cost smartphone optimised like HC with a advanced streaming système with HH for playing HH games every where + spécial pad for the smartphone to have good controls for HH and HC games...

The difference between Nintendo and Activision is that Activision is a software company so putting their software on every device possible is their business. Nintendo is firstly a console manufacturer.

Technically yes, Nintendo, and even Sony and MS, can do this. But that's just like saying they're becoming 3rd party like Sega. Thus, will end up making their own consoles irrelevant and possibly lose the opportunity to make more money.

The Moga controllers that hold your phone are very comfortable to use. I have the bigger version of this one and it has a boost battery in the controller to charge your phone while you play and also balances it nicely.

We've already heard from Nintendo themselves that it is a home console, so this speculation about it being strictly mobile is getting a little old.

Sigh... whatever. But i wasnt talking about portable gaming i was talking about console gaming... and you knew that. But hell if i care.

I own a Moga, a Moga Pro, and the Nyko attachment for the Dualshock 4; none of them are stable enough handle anything more than light casual gaming. Gaming as we know it on consoles just won't happen on mobile; there's too many hurdles, and as has been mentioned by others it would eat up batteries and burn out phones.

one thing for sure is its got a K12 or a Zen

Exactly. Some years ago I thought that powerful tablets/phones would run AAA console games, but today we have devices like iPad Air 2/iPad Pro and the big AAA games didn't come out. Mobile gaming is big but it's got its own audience and its own sort of games.

Nintendo using ARM isn't news. 3DS is ARM.

If Nintendo decides to go mobile-only, that'd mean that Nintendo just left the traditional gaming industry.

You can't just ignore portable gaming like it's not gaming.
