If the NX released both the handheld and home consoles at the same time...

Depends. If home console is more powerful than PS4 and gets all multiplats - I'm getting it. If it's not, I'm getting a PS4 instead and probably the handheld NX sometime down the line, after Nintendo revises the hardware and cuts the price.

If NX isn't capable of being the first home console option, I won't feel any sort of need of getting it before the price drops significantly. Just like with the Wii U - I can live without it.

Yeah, I think there's very good reason to believe that the 1st generation NX won't be more powerful than the PS4. I think that the NXDS will be a secondary system for a lot of current PS4/XBO owners, which is probably what they're going for.

But by the time the price drops "significantly," I think there will be another NX console out that will be more powerful than the PS4. I think they're going to do an Apple-like roll out with these things. A new NX every two years and a new NXDS every year. Like, significant hardware upgrades, like with iphones.

We'll see. I honestly doubt that a home console weaker than PS4 will take off. I mean, it'll already be 3 years on the market!! 3 years later and Nintendo would give a weaker console? Can't see it happening. And 2 years after that, so 3 years from now, people will already be starting to get hyped for PS5, so an NX more powerful than PS4 would end up just like the Wii U - getting slaughtered by the hype for a more powerful console.

Nah, can't see it work. I believe that a mandatory part of the Apple policy is making sure that their products are cutting-edge, or at least are top of the line. That's a big part of what people get excited for. Ignoring this part and releasing an underpowered console when so many people already consider PS4 weak is asking for it.
