OP
I don't actually think it's as cut and dry as that. One could take the opposite approach and say they are giving up on handhelds. What if every system here on out is able to be portable? Obviously there's the other direction to go in saying they are giving up on consoles, but then, what if every handheld here on out is able to connect to a television?
I feel like the subject of the nx in general is farily unique to me and many other gamers out there because i don't ever buy handheld systems. They are not practical for my lifestyle. At the same time i hunger for the day i can play some of the games ive been missing out on (luigis mansion, bravely default, zelda 3ds games) on my tv.
Also, if the nx is a portable and can handle a game like breath of the wild, should i care if the system is portable?
I think the nx may be exactly what the gaming industry wanted from nintendo. A platform they can develop "handheld" games for without having to worry about making multiplatform games on a system that doesn't sell those games well.
Which brings up an interesting prediction. The nx will have "unprecendented 3rd party support". Well, maybe that's an exaggeration, but i think we can expect equal support on the nx as we have seen for the 3ds. The nx won't be getting madden, or call of duty, or assassin's creed etc... but it will be getting games like bravely default, monster hunter 5, shin megami, dragon quest xx. If you DO consider it a home console (after all you can play it at home on your tv) then it will have the biggest 3rd party support since the snes and the most exclusives ever in nintendo history.
I know that's way off topic from the original question, but there's simply so much more to consider. That's assuming all the recent rumors are true of course.
