1) I am not saying this idea is new. Like not at all. I have, in other topics said I think Nintendo stole this idea. Not from Sony, however, from SNK (Neo Geo X) if this is true. They have stolen from SNK before and I would not be surprised if they did it again.

2) My argument was not that this is new technology; rather, that hand held gaming has moved so close to console gaming that games can be made for the hand held first and then, "upgraded" to home consoles without compromising or even changing the game (other than graphically) content. What that meant to me was that Resident Evil 8 or (Monster Hunter 5) can start out on NX and then be ported up to PS4/XBOX One without a need to change the game at all. This idea that hand helds will not get the quality ports was probably true, but to say they cannot get quality titles would be untrue.

Handhelds would limit the game if its a current gen game. NX can run GTA V well if the specs are true but a game like The Witcher 3 wouldn't run well on it and would have to be simplified in order to run on NX.

I am not understanding or seeing your point, if you have one. If you are telling me that a game like Monster Hunter Generations would somehow not be acceptable as a home console title (graphics update withstanding... game play, content, and design is what I am talking about), then I would say you have not played the game. It is literally a graphical update away from being an acceptable PS4 title.

NX is the next generation of hand held so closing the gap even more would be expected. I do not know how the hardware will run (even on this rumored format), but I know that eventually hand held technology was going to catch home console technology. You would have to be a fool not to have seen that coming. It looks like that time could be now.

I still think it will be a generation behind graphically but after watching the digital foundry tests, I am not confident that it could run current generation titles on the rumored hardware as well (I saw it struggle to run older Mario Kart titles with any form of solid frame rate) as you think. Not that I think it is impossible, but maybe it will take more effort than developers would be willing to put into it.
