Am I the only one that thinks this is the intire console in that picture?
It sounds like a "smart console",.... like the tablet is the console.

 

Don't think it's the whole console. Looks like a WiiU pad and what might be the NX handheld. 

 

If these rumours are true, it looks like Nintendo are doubling down on their mobile investment. 

 

The reason I don't believe it's the whole console is due to a lack of a disc drive and Space for a big HDD. If Nintendo want to make a console as powerful as the X1, they will have games that will take up space. I don't think Nintendo will go full digital either. 

You realise that Wii U Basic have only around 2GB space, and yet you can play almost any game that is released without need for external drive.

Device like this from rumour would definitely have SD or MicroSD card reader and USB for external storage, and we already having memory cards with 512GB of storage, I dont say people will buy 512GB for that device, but currently you can buy 32GB SD card (Wii U premium has 26GB of storage) for less than $10 and prices are just keep falling like rocks.

I could easily Nintendo shipping device like this with 64GB of storage and consumers could easily increase that storage with SD card, USB stick or some different kind of external device, while Nintendo would use memory cards for games, same like 3DS is doing that.
