If the rumors are true, then that loss of portability would need to happen.

 

Why?

Lets play Videogames is a fairly new site and it's run by the former destructoid UK team, so these are legit journalists. They formed lpvg when Destructoid decided to axe the UK devision because of budget cuts.

As for the dimensions, keeping in mind that this is allegedly a dev kit, the screen would either have to be almost feakishly long at about 80x180 - 190 mm for them to make sense or if it had WiiU dimensions (inkeeping with earlier rumors) be 80x140mm and have around 3 cm of unused space on each side on the screen.

This seems very wierd to me. Also according to this, at least the dev kit is bigger than the WiiU gamepad (ecept in height) and would be very elongated.

 

Oh yeah you're right, no way they'll use a freakishly long screen, and there should be no reason for the NX minus detachable controllers to be bigger than it's screen, certainly not according to the images they drew. Could mean they just made up the dimensions without checking if they were logical, but also could just mean the dev kit is wider for some reason, but then what did they base their drawing off of? Something doesn't add up here!

Yeah, that's what I've been thinking. I don't know, early dev kits can look pretty atrocious and maybe they needed additional space for cooling or something (inkeeping with the Eurogamer rumor about active fan cooliing). But then what are they basing their diagrams on?

Also just having a handheld that is almost 30 cm wide with controllers attached? I don't really see it. If anything I expect the NX (if it is indeed what these rumors imply) to be LESS bulky and slightly thinner and smaller than the gamepad....
