Just because no such thing exists now, doesn't mean one can't exist. I can imagine a possibility of NX being a Handheld device that comes with a caddy that connects to a TV/monitor that is basically a HDD and power source. If they can put Wii U level specs into a handheld then it will be able to deliver very satisfying performance on a TV so basicilly can be a hybrid. 

The only limitation for a hybrid is how much power you can put into a device that is small enough to be an attractive handheld console.

There is no such thing as a hybrid console. I'm not talking about one not existing right now, I'm saying the concept is impossible.

Your example isn't a hybrid, it's a handheld. See?

They can't put wii u level specs in a 2016/2017 handheld for less than $299+ at launch.

I don't see what exactly is impossible in tablet like device that wirelessly via dongle could be connected with TV.

Device like that could be used like handheld or it could be used like home console attached to TV, so yes, it would be some kind of hybrid of handheld and home console.

Concept like that is very possible.
