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: "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 can get:

- Hybrid concept

- Primarily a home console.

 

No where is the word primarily used. Not a pure Wii U replacement =/= primarily a home console. As explained, it doesn't make any sense for the hybrid to technically be a home console that can be played on the go rather than a handheld that can played on your TV. The Wii U is just mentioned more in their PR speaks because that console is dead already while the 3DS is still selling so they probably don't want people thinking it's getting replaced yet.
