Personally given the timing and the current climate of the Japanese videogame market, I believe Nintendo would focus more on their handheld future rather then try to compete in the main console market with a system that would just drive up expense of development even more.
Maybe it is the hybrid everyone suspects, but short of the surprise announcement that the NX is a retooled Wii U expansion device/successor a la Sega CD/32X or even Nintendo's own Famicom Disc drive add on in Japan or the N64's 64DD, is probably going to be related to Nintendo's strongest foothold in the market they care the most about... Japan.
