It all depends on *what* it is. If it is a handheld, not surprised. If it is a handheld with home console properties or capabilities, again not surprised. If it is a full blown fusion (no more handhelds and consoles, just one device) or a full blown home console, I will be surprised. Beyond that, it would come down to what it's like. That could garner any number of reactions.

 

If it's a unified device of some type then it should be easier for Nintendo to launch because their dev resources would not be split. The 3DS or Wii U would not have had post launch droughts if Nintendo only had to just basically make games for one of them (even at variable resolution settings or something). 

EAD 1 next game is Wii U, EAD 2 next is 3DS, EAD Tokyo next game is Wii U, Retro next game is Wii U, Intelligent Systems' next two games are 3DS ... well imagine if all this was replaced with just "NX". No split in development resources. 

Nintendo might actually then have a problem of having too many games and having to space them out on purpose.
