What's NX for Nintendo?

The NX console will be similar to the Wii ... gimmick-based console with little/no risk to Nintendo because it will basically be using just a souped up version of the NX handheld chipset (just as the Wii re-used the GameCube chip). 

Except it will be focused on "new ways to play" more than aiming at casuals (iOS/Android takes care of the casual demo for Nintendo).  If it succeeds great, if it fails then it wouldn't damage Nintendo financially too badly. 

I think the gimmick will be wearable 3D tracking glasses (but not like VR that obscures your whole view -- transparent sunglasses with 3D sensors on them) that Nintendo patented a few months ago. That and a new type of controller.

While I agree the Fusion concept is happening, I think Nintendo will want to differentiate the home version in some way because home play is still very different from portable play, and this is how they'll do it.

Don't expect a conventional console in other words.

Do u see these 3D/VR glasses being mandatory or an accessory?
