I was reading this on Neogaf. It's intresting but at the moment it's just a concept. It could be intended in different ways. Maybe the game console is NX and the "supplemental computing device" is a PC or maybe the latter is NX and the game console is a WiiU or the 3DS successor. Or again, the game console could be a casual AppleTV-like device and the SCD another device made by Nintendo to give it Ps4/X1 league graphics. Only time will tell.

Or even beyond PS4/XB1 graphics. 

Yes, but you still have to consider most current X1/Ps4 users don't care that much about Nintendo. This hypotetical thing shouldn't cost more than a Ps4 overall when it launches.

A common PC as the SCD seems like the best soultion imo, but I don't know if it's feasible. Or even better, let the user choose between buying an SCD made by Nintendo or using his own computer as an SCD.

Perhaps AMD could release a line of "NX Approved" PC GPUs, that the user can then use to supplement their base NX.

Not out of the realm of posibility.  Alienware laptops do have their interal GPU and now you can buy a very small compact box for the new ones that have a desktop GPU in them to boost the gfx. Kind of liek playing on high settings vs ultra high settings.
