I'm starting to think there isn't going to be (immediately) a pocket/handheld traditional type of NX. They seem to be doubling down on the 3DS to cover that lower cost/portable section of the market.

I think the intial NX itself will be portable but not a traditional handheld form factor (a mobile console). It was interesting the other day, Kimishima specifically referred to the Wii U as a "stationary console", a term they don't use often if at all ... maybe NX is then "non-stationary"?

Basically ditching Wii U but continue to support 3DS means that NX is definitely some kind of home console and not handheld.

In any case interesting reading, I am glad they don't planning to sell NX with loss and that they will have proper lineup.

I still think it will cover both handheld/console and the ditching of Wii U whilst supporting the 3DS is just so the 3DS doesn't go straight down to the sames sales level as the Wii U and still constunies to sell at current levels for another 6 months /through the holidays at least before dropping a huge chunk.
