No I'm not a wall. I understand what you are saying. Netflix is a steaming service that works on multiple devices you already own. No extra hardware is required by the consumer.

A streaming game service requires a controller to use that service and a box with some security features to prevent unauthorized access to the games online.

As far as current internet infrastructure, maybe Nintendo has solved that problem with some kind of new compression technology. Maybe games will be partially downloaded while you play so your not at the mercy of your connection?

So the NX would be a hybrid streaming box with a hard drive. Half streaming box and half console.

No it doesn't. A streaming service does not require a box for security. What you're saying literally doesn't make any sense. The only issue with game streaming right now is latency and price.

Also, My Nintendo literally deconfirms any streaming service. My Nintendo is specifically made to award static purchases and specifically for the NX platform, something streaming is made to do away with. There's nothing even remotely hinting towards the NX streaming anything but your own imagination.

Nintendo's older games are very small data sizes and will be purchased and downloaded to the hybrid streaming box's hard drive. So yes you will own games to some degree.

This thing is going to reinvent how a steaming game service works. 

Imagine streaming a game online but your hard drive has the next ten minutes of the game preloaded on the hard drive in advance of where you currently are in the game. If your internet connection is fluctuating it will not matter because the game is buffered on the hard drive.

Aren't theories fun. Because this is all just rumors and speculation at this point.
