Sounds like a small tablet sized handheld that will replace both Wii U and 3DS by topping the specs of both and allowing you to stream games to your tv while using the handheld as a controller. A handheld with close to XB1 level specs, that's darn impressive. But I have to wonder, what would the battery life on something like that be? The most powerful tablets out right now don't come anywhere near XB1 specs afaik, they're like half of XB1 specs. It is rumored to be using AMD's newest generation tech (CPU and GPU) which AMD claims are quite a bit more powerful and efficient, but I still have to wonder about battery life.
I like the sound of the haptic analog sticks, as long as you can disable the function if you find it annoying for some games. I could see it being cool in racing games, it could potentially allow you to "feel the road", much like you can with high end racing wheels.

That and price. I'm not a tech guy but it's hard to imagine it selling for less than 400$. That'll hurt it's ability to be sold as a handheld, assuming it even qualifys as one. With dual screens and analog sticks, I don't see how it's gonna fit in my pocket.

hypothetically speaking if these rumours were true and an NX handheld was going to be released in the next year that was capable of handling XOne/PS4 graphics then 400$ would not be an unreasonable price at all because that would be absolutely insane specs for a handheld system, in fact no handheld system has ever been that aggressively close in specs to the current gen home consoles at the same time
which makes me somewhat doubtful that it really is the case
