This seems like a WiiU 2.0. If this last rumors are true there are 2 things that scare me.
IMHO nintendo always sucked when it come to battery, batterys are the black sheep of tecnology. How many hours would this thing be able to run by itself? Smartphones struggle with this. The shape of the NX is unknown, but the screen/battery mass shoudnt be lot different than the wiiu, good batteries are expensive. Can nintendo balance this constraints?
And not only that, we need to add processing power, of course that in handheld mode the thing could use worse textures, no AA, etc, and in console mode use the "normal" thing. How to balance this constraints: battery, specs vs costs of hybridization(cost of having the 2 modes, in creating software for both, the hardware for both, etc) in a near perfect way?
This is beyond if the NX should be on par with PS4 or the others to get third party, or when it should launch, although all is related.
I think this is what the wiiu should have been. Nintendo can do this console, it will be interesting see what they will bring. I believe sony could do the exact thing cheaply because they are better at designing hardware (opinion)
