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

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). 

umm. no.

it's how my wife and i already play our board games.

Well you can see immediately why that concept would appeal to Nintendo, but detachable controllers would allow similar ideas with deeper/better game play (IE: Donkey Kong VS.).
