As I've stated before, I think NX is going to do the smart thing and integrate already existing peripherals into their fold. I think, gone are the times of first party dedicated peripherals.
For example, one of the main problems with wiiU, if not the single most deadly factor was the prohibitiveness of the tablet. Meanwhile, 80m people in America have a tablet, and like 200m+ own a smartphone. Had the WiiU used a smartphone or alternative tablet, they would have been so far ahead of the curve. Their tablet already added like 150$ onto the price of the console. Meanwhile, they could have simply done the Nintendo thing, and added a 50$ "thumbstick adaptor" phone/tablet casing which would have only cost them like 12$ to make. That is the Nintendo way. Not making a proprietary tablet controller.
Except, they will make a proprietary tablet controller...the portable NX. This will be the alternative to using your phone or tablet, but will be sold seperately as another system. In that way, you have two systems that act independently of each other, but also add value to each other.
It really is the perfect solution, and I hope Nintendo does it because it's so simple.
