But Nintendo never said its a console or that it wont release a console later on.
All they said is it "Wont replace the Wii U or 3DS" but it could have "Many form factors" in otherwords it sounds exactly like a Handheld/Tablet Device.

Nintendo have refered to the NX as a console a few times. They're also reportedly (by the same site who correctly reported the same thing about some of Nintendo's previous systems in the past) ceasing production of the WiiU this year. And we are seeing signs of this with Nintendo's very low estimate of WiiU sales for this fiscal year, and the apparent stock issues in Japan. And of course the lack of new software.
If the replacement for WiiU isn't coming soon, they wouldn't have already begun preparing for its funeral.
The thing about not replacing the WiiU or the 3DS should be taken with a big grain of salt, seeing as Nintendo said that DS wouldn't replace the GBA.
Especially since Nintendo probably don't want the NX brand associated with the term "Wii".
Although whether this portable device will be the console is the big question here. It seems that that is what's being reported here. Although I haven't looked into exactly why they believe this to be the case. As in if that's their assumption, or if this is what has been reported to them.
If this really is all there is to it, then I think the NX is going to do poorly.

alot of people dont say the quote accurately, its actually that NX wont be a "simple" replacement for 3DS/Wii U meaning that its a new concept instead of being a 3DS 2 or Wii U2.
