Probably something like this:

1. NES
2. GB
3. SNES
4. N64
5. GBA
6. GC
7. DS
8. Wii
9. 3DS
10. Wii U

Nintendo + 10 = 11. Therefore the eleventh system shall be called NX. Yes, that doesn't make sense, but that's what people fantasize about.

An alternate theory is that the X doesn't stand for a romerical number, but the word Cross as a result of combining the software libraries of Nintendo's home console and handheld branches.

My personal favorite is that N obviously stands for Nintendo and X is nothing more than mystery, because the letter X oozes mystery and has been used in such a fashion plenty of times before. For example, the TV show X-Factor.

Actually X dosent stand for mystery, but actually for unlimited potential(in the sense you put).It is so because of its use in mathematics as the unknown factor in many equations, giving it the "potential" to be any number, from zero to infinite.

And I hope thats the meaning behind NX, would be beyond cool.

Actually no, it doesn't stand for mystery or unknown or undefined.  X- is the common math notation for a variable, an unknown value. The term X-factor when it comes to talent refers to a special, unknown, hard to define quality that can help someone succeed. It's rooted in the math origin, and it is definitely more about "mystery"  than unlimited potential.
