What's NX for Nintendo?

What a horrible idea cause it presumes that the console will be run by magic and that Nintendo will leave the handheld space!

Firstly, if a console is portable, there is no reason for them to have a handheld which = cutting their most successful division

Secondly, this has to be within a $300 price range and it has to be portable... That means that the hardware itself will be as weak as the wiiU or just a bit stronger but still not even close to being as powerful as a ps4/x1 let alone ps5/x2 because this nonsense idea has a bottleneck which is the battery.. Who on earth would want a next gen console thats not even capable of "current gen"? And the third parties won't even bother so basically, its wiiU 2.0 with the handheld division gone!

Or if its $200, then it will look like trash on the TV and considering the future is 4k... Upscaling sub 720p to 4k or to even 1080p would look like ass and the performance of it will be weaker than the wiiU

Hybrid system is a horrible idea and there are many more reasons as to why this wouldn't work

Hybrid system is not the same thing as fusion/brother platforms. 

Doubt Nintendo gives even half a poop about 4K displays btw. The only place you'll be playing Nintendo games on 4K anytime soon is if Apple releases a 4K iPad. 

NX is described by Nintendo as a "new concept game system" one that will introduce "new ways to play". In other words ... expect another type of Wii style console that has some wacky/weird controller gimmicks. The ability to share games with the handheld due to similar architectures will likely be another feature. 

My brother has a 4K TV. Upscaled 1080p content doesn't look bad at all by the way.
