What's NX for Nintendo?

Well yeah there is a bunch of difficulties with doing this but you are looking at it in a narrow way.

What magic are you talking about? I assume it would run on electricity like every console. On the go it would run on lithium batteries just like a handheld. While docked it would charge the battery and operate in the same fashion laptops do with the cord plugged in. How much battery would a Wii U need after being shrunk down? IDK, but less than what the current model does.

First, leaving the handheld space would intail not having a handheld and this would be a handheld... The fusion concept is essentially not elminating either division's function but combining them. You could easily say they cut their home console division but again that's flawed. What fusion would do would reduce their need to have two seperate hardwares that support two seperate software processess.

Second, yeah price point is a hurdle. I don't know if it would be cheaper trying to fit a Wii U in a handheld device or to go with new hardware. The idea is not to be as powerful as PS4/X1, that's been pretty obvious out of Nintendo with Wii/WiiU/DS/3DS. The possible launch date also doesn't quite align it anywhere near what "PS5" or "Xbox random number". Those consoles won't release till somewhere between 2019-2022. Nintendo could release a new handheld in 2017 and make it a Wii U and still have years before the next gen jump. That's if they care or not and trying out a fusion device could simply be their new handheld if they decide to release a dedicated home console to match that. Fusion would essentially attempt to save the Wii U by making it the sucessor to 3DS. Strange yes, but also crazy. 

This device could also be sold as a handheld and the hub could be the optional home accessory for it. This could help the price issue. If it works fine as a handheld there is no need for a TV hub, though making it optional has its drawbacks. There is no reason to force someone who has a Wii U to buy a handheld Wii U that comes with a Wii U. (lol) They could keep this handheld home console hybrid along side their next big thing and just treat it like their handheld that has TV capability/backwards(horizontal?) compatibility with the gen 8 Wii U. Which is also weird.

The battery bottleneck comes in when its trying to play games on the go... You can't have a console-like experience on the go without killing the battery unless the console is super weak and even if its the wiiU with a smaller die size, the battery will still be a huge factor

Firstly, How would that be flawed...? Just because its a handheld that can be docked to a TV doesn't mean its a console or just because its a console that's portable doesn't mean its a handheld (depending on the size). No one will see it as both.. It will be seen as either or... Yes, they won't distroy one of their divisions but they will distroy a source of revenue and a market because instead of having two sources of revenue (console and handheld), they will have one

What Fusion will be is that it will be a huge flawed concept if its what you are saying... It can't have the power of the console cause its trying to be portable so it will be weak compared to even the ps4/x1 so there is no real reason for people to buy it apart from Nintendo fans. Then you will have that overlap of people that buy both the console and the handheld to experience gone because they will just be buying one "system" instead of two...

Secondly, if they make it as weak as the wiiU... Then you will have the same issues as the wiiU from the console PoV... There will be bad press cause third parties are going to skip it entirely and gamers that aren't Nintendo fans wont really care about it. And since its going to be an expensive handheld because of its power, the handheld people would shy away from it because it will cost too much, specially with the whole docking nonsense... Its been proven that if it goes over $200, it won't sell very well so as a result, what will happen is that the sales of it will be less than wiiU+3ds combined because you don't have that overlap and the handheld will be too expensive

If it has an optional home accessory in order for it to be a console, that means they essentially killed their console market and they will be never coming back to making consoles ever again because no one would take it seriously which is not a good thing for a gaming only company. It will be seen as a handheld... Not a console at all.

I have no idea what you said in ur last two sentences so I will skip that loll
