Eurogamer: Nintendo NX is a portable console with detachable controllers (It also connects to your TV, and runs cartridges)

I see this as a perfect fit for using the SCD patent they filled some time ago.

I mean, yes, it is a portable device. Everyone saw this coming.

But the dock can be used as a power booster, having an extra APU that combines with the one on the handheld.
They could sell the dock as the console itself.
