So in an interview that Kimishima did he mentioned that the NX is a home console. This is the first time Nintendo has referred to the NX as a home console so its official now.

"According to Kimishima, the new NX console will be a home console that is sold alongside Nintendo’s current Wii U and 3DS gaming devices. Kimishima did not give any details on the performance of the console, but he did say that it was meant to be a new gaming experience. This could allude to a more powerful console designed to be a better competitor against the Xbox One and Playstation 4, but it might also point to a unique new interface similar to the Wii’s motion controls or the Wii U’s tablet."

Sold alongside the Wii U...I thought the Wii U was being discontinued?

I love how they keep saying the NX won't replace the WiiU in any way, when all signs point to the device having less than two years left on the market.

That's not meant to replace the Wii U. It's just that U is going to be discontinued and this more powerful console is going to exist instead.

Totally not a replacement.

The interview that the article cited has nothing to do with the NX. It is all about Nintendo getting into movies.

I'd like to see Kimishimas direct quote before I believe this article. Things can be mistranslated very easily.

Can you read Japanese?

I kind of assumed that after they announced Zelda for it.

But htere are still some people that think its a handheld but this confirms that its a home console. Also its weird he didnt refer to it as an hybrid console. This could mean that there NX handheld could be something were not expecting.

If it is being discontinued they'd still need to get rid of stock.

A bit hard to run the upcoming Zelda on a handheld.
