Nonsense. The web browser app was reportedly running independent of the base unit, on the tablet. Of course, the tabled is not going to be nowhere as close as an ipad clone or "tablet" clone, but apparently it has enough computational power of its own to run some apps. |
The console does the work for the tablet, do you understand that? As long as the console is on or in standby mode, the tablet can be used.
So, a game can be played on the controller screen independently of the TV screen but it's still the console that is processing the image, not the controller.
So, yeah you could just browse the web, watch videos or play games on the controller with the TV off as long as the console is on or in standby.
The controller is only going to show the images generated and processed by this hardware unit [console] - and sent from the hardware unit wirelessly. That's what Nintendo said.
