If the NX was like a handheld, then it would at least be more powerful than the 3DS and maybe as powerful as the Wii U. If it was both a console and handheld, well, that kinda makes a mess of things... If it went that route, then I would be certain it would still be more powerful than the Wii U. It would kind of have to be to be competitive in the current market.

Well as far as i know you simple cant make a handheld much more powerfull a the wii u right now. The strongest mobile chip so far is the Apple a9x (used in iPad pro) and that might already be to expensive for an nintendo handheld (that ipad is like 1000 bucks).

 

Alot quotes from iwata hinting a "2 in 1 device". He said somethin like they will merge their handheld and home console systems in the future so they dont have to develop games for both systems anymore. And as far as i know nintendo also merged their handheld and home console studios some months ago, so they dont have seperate development studios anymore. Really hinting a 2in1 device.

Yeah, that would be weird if it turned out to be a handheld. If it's a hybrid, I'm not really sure how that's going to work. It probably wouldn't if it turned out to be one. 3rd parties probably won't support it. They probably wouldn't know how to...

I'm leaning on the side that it'll be a regular console and not a handheld, but we will see some time this year..
