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

Smartest thing Nintendo could do at this point IMO.

Sony/MS have monopolized the traditional console market and are oversaturating it with PS4 Neo and XB Scorpio, I always thought a hybrid would give Nintendo a shot at bringing something different to the table and build around their strength -- portable hardware, every portable Nintendo system has outsold its console counterpart since the SNES era.

This should get very good Japanese support at least, which the Wii U didn't, even the Wii was kinda iffy, provided it can handle XB1 ports (downscaled a bit).

Yh its the best they can do, though i would have expected them to instead make a powerful console that has offscreen portable support (eg remote play) instesd of a poeerful handheld that can be used as a console. Cause that limits how poeerful they can go on the console side of things.

And somwthing else, by this time next year, or in 2018.... The current PS4/XB1 will be getting what are arguably downscaled versions of the Neo/Scorpio games. So for said games to be on the NX we are looking at a downscale of the downscale?
