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

Core Nintendo fans are the ones who bought the Wii U.  If you hadn't noticed, there aren't that many of them.  And those core Nintendo fans would have bought a pure handheld or a pure console. Probably both.

What exactly does this offer the casual gamer?  Why would mom and dad pay 250 for something to play during roadtrips when tablets run as low as 50 dollars?  $250 is not cheap for a handheld.  

Fans can try to defend this, but it's just not a good idea.  It fixes very few of the problems the Wii U had.  Hopefully, Eurogamer is completely wrong about this, or explained it in an awful way.

To be fair, 10+ million core Nintendo fans is nothing to sneeze at. If only Naughty Dog supported PS, I'm sure the PS4 would do the same numbers.

THAT BEING SAID, I agree with everything else you said. This simply isn't a good idea.

Nah.  If the PS4 had the same third pary support as Wii U, and only Naughty Dog, they'd be lucky to get to five million. They just don't have the output or as big franchises.
