Could The NX Be Something Completely Leftfield?

Obviously it's not complete, nor exact. But I am very confident based on the patents that there will clearly be a home console NX with a separate controller. That layout is quite explicit in the designs.

Even so, realistically the console will be the passenger in the NX equation, the portable is going to have to do all the driving. Nintendo (traditional) consoles just don't sell very well, and that console against a 3-4 year old PS4/X1 has little/no chance. 

Not necessarily.  We really don't know what the vision is yet. I could see scenarios where the handheld is dropped entirely in favour of mobile devices.
