So here's my question: If NX isn't a replacement for the 3DS or Wii U, what the heck is it? Handheld, home console? If it's either of those things, wouldn't it be a replacement? This just sounds like PR speak to me...

It is not a replacement it's a successor to most likely the 3DS and it's just not the time for it to be shown

Interesting. So what exactly is the difference then between a replacement and a successor? Isn't the newest console always a successor? When is a console ever 'replaced?'
