This just sounds as if someone putted all the recent Nintendo patents and every available NX rumor into a blender and got this mess as a result.

Aside that it contradicts what we know for sure of the NX. Yes, Iwata said that for the next hardware they had to look for a way to appeal to the West's home console-oriented market and to Japan's handheld-oriented market, but that doesn't mean we are getting this weird mess. Be it the hybrid or not, Reggie and Kimishima have make it clear that NX will primarily be a home console, unlike this rumor, which makes it seem to be primarily a handheld. So this already contradicts one of the only things we know for sure of the NX, that it primarily is a home console. That raises a big red flag, and good reason why this rumor should be taken with a huge grain of salt, more than usual.

It doesn't contradict anything Nintendo has said. 

Even Iwata said he wasn't sure if they would multiple form factors OR just one. 

Nintendo has never said what the nature of the console is, in fact I think only Reggie has called it a "console" as kind of an off hand statement. Nintendo themselves has always officially said "system" or "platform". 

Interviewer: "It seems more to me that the NX will have an effect on the Wii U due to the fact that both will be consoles."

Kimishima: "I suppose it can be seen that way.However, the NX is neither the successor to the Wii U nor to the 3DS. It's a new way of playing games, which I think will have a larger impact than the Wii U, but I don't feel it's a pure replacement for the Wii U."

While he does suggest the hybrid idea, but he also pretty much says that whatever it is, it will be primarily be a home console since he doesn't feel it will be a pure replacement for the Wii U, it will not be a successor to Wii U or 3DS, but it will be a home console, but also not a pure replacement to Wii U.  

So by Kimishima's words we know:    The NX will not be the next Wii or DS but a new concept, it will primarily be a new home console, but he doesn't see it as a ure replacement for the WIi U, most probably because of the hybrid concept
