3. I dont agree.

"NX will be released as different 2 consoles that work like Playstation Vita and Vita TV."

^ makes sense.

"The performance will be similar to the performance of the wii u. Could be a little bit more or less powerfull."

^ does not make sense.

PS4 is like 5-10? times the power of a wii u or something silly like that.
The homeconsole NX needs to be more powerfull than a Wii U, if its going to get any 3rd party support.

If Nintendo goes that route, then they would chose to give up most 3rd party support. Only the Japanese 3rd developers might put big titles on it since we would be talkin about a handheld of sorts.

It's a risky move. There can be no software drought then. None what so ever.

^ this.

It can work if they decide they wont even try to get any 3rd party onboard.

Then the 200$  PS TV / Vita like idea can work.

And it ll probably work better than the Wii U + 3DS does currently (Im talking about 2016 sales rates for both).

However Mobile phones are a ever growing threat for handheld consoles.

With a homeconsole that weak, you might risk "gamers" skipping it, and just simply playing smart phone games all together instead.

You keep saying such devices won't get 3rd party support but you seem to be forgetting the support 3DS gets.

When combined 3DS+Wii U get a pretty solid amount of Japanese support, indie support & kid/family friendly western support.

Then consider that 3DS didnt support Unity & Wii U didnt support Unreal 4, if NX supports both of those than its possible that it gets more support than 3DS+Wii U.

One last thing to consider is that Wii U had OK support from the big western publishers initially, EA/Ubisoft/Activision/Warner all gave it a few core IP in the first year, they will likely support NX initially.

With a unified setup, it is likely that NX will have 100% support from Nintendo, solid Japanese, indie, family-friendly support and OK western support. That would give NX a constant stream of new releases.
