its just PR talk.They say this everytime a new console is to be released.The same was said when they went from the GBA to the DS.They probably just mean it will have a new gimmick of the sorts.That can mean anything.Could be good or bad.In another words, we are still on the same place:we know nothing about the NX.
About not affecting 3DS, he just meant the period from now to the release.And he gives pokemon as a reason that the 3Ds will still sell even with the official announcement.So yes, there is still a chance that the nx is a handheld or a hybrid.
My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
