To add to my last post, Nintendo launched the New 3DS in October of 2014 in Japan, January 2015 in Europe and February 2015 in North America:

That means it would be THE most idiotic business strategy to have the NX being yet another portable system. If the NX only has the ARM SoC, it will be a failure because future traditional home games will be made on x86 => Vulkan/DX11/DX12 APIs, and no ARM SoC can hope to have XB1 level of graphics by 2016. Furthermore, combining an x86 APU + ARM SoC in the NX would put Nintendo in a unique position compared to MS/Sony to sell games of Japanese developers like Konami that are 99% committed to mobile (including Android) gaming. 

You need to realise that New 3DS is revision of 3DS, not completely new console. Also, Sony released Super Slim PS3 one year before PS4 launch, Micorsoft release Xbox 360 E in same year when Xbox One is released. So no, that isnt at all the most idiotic business strategy if the NX being yet another portable system.

Console are x86 but all other devices on which you can play game are ARM. We already know how many games we have on phones and tablets, how many games Indies realasing on those platforms, even some big 3rd parties, also Vita is ARM and have solid 3rd party support especially in Japan. So again no, NX will not be failure if only will have ARM SoC, but of course that better solution would be x86 for home console.
