Right. Why would you want to play it in docked/console mode on the go? Because that's the only situation I can think of where detachable controllers would serve a purpose. When you're at home, you could just pick up a regular controller that came with the system, which you leave at home and only use when you're at home.
I don't like the sound of the details here. A lot of questions and concerns. Seemingly not as powerful as PS4, so if third parties will want to port their games to it immediatley becomes more questionable. Or does it get more powerful when it's on dock mode? (GameXplain said something like that.) What would the battery life for something like this be? How would it be portable (fit in your pocket) with those detachable controllers?

To play multiplayer games ON the go. That's why detachable controllers make sense.
This device is likely designed so that you WANT people to gather around it, not to be played alone like a hermit.
That is right in line with Nintendo's core philosphy about family/friend gaming.
Also it's something that current tablets really can't do ... so it's a nice plus for Nintendo to have (simultaenous multiplayer gaming).
