Well its a mobile oriented conference... I doubt its a new console specially in this context

Iwata said to prove they are committed to dedicated video game systems, they have a new console named codename nx in the works.

Did he actually say console cause I didn't hear console... Handheld would make sense cause a lot of people are probably more afraid of their handheld devision

I think he used "system", could be handheld or home console. Regardless, they are not abandoning the current model, but merely adding another pillar. Many here are panicking and not thinking clearly. Nintendo is merely making shitty Pokemon shuffle type games on mobile games to advertise their brand. Unless they start porting premium games to mobile, I'd suggest a "wait and see" approach.

The problem of that is the investors. If the games fail, they will blame the company and Nintendo will lose money. If the games are very profitable, the investors will demand more effords for the mobile area, taking resources away for dedicated consoles. It's a  loose-loose situation. The only thing we can hope is that Nintendo makes money from this, but less profits that  the dedicated machines, so the investors are convinced once and for all that mobile is not the best way to go.
