If one set of controllers wasn't enough, now you go and add a second one? Wouldn't it be easier if NX had buttons/joysticks (or circle pads) like a traditional handheld and then have a gamepad to play at home?

Usually, going simple is better.

 

That's basically what I suggested, except you'll have the options to use sticks/grips while on the go, use it without any controllers attached, and use circle pads on the TV if one actually prefers that. 

I disagree with that in general and especially in this case. Having options is better than no options, and Nintendo has been really good about that with the Wii and Wii U. Gaming wouldn't have evolved to where it is now if things were kept simple.

Being simple and being more of the same are not the same thing. Wii had a revolutionary controller and Wii U tried the same thing, yet Nintendo kept things simple, wiimote & nunchuck for one and the Gamepad for the other.

What you are describing is two sets of detachable controllers to use and interchange depending on where or how you'll play, and that's not simple.
