You guys need to give it up with a "pocket" thing. This is not designed to go into your pocket. If you want that, that's what a 3DS is for, which Nintendo is supporting until 2018.

This is a tablet sized device and it has to be tablet sized.

A Tegra X1 would melt the inside of a 3DS in two hours or kill the battery in the same time, which ever comes first. This system was always going to be in the same ball park size wise as the Wii U tablet.

Modern thermals demand it, it's a simple as that. The chip needs room to dissipate heat, also if you want battery life longer than 90 minutes, you need a very large battery here, 8000 MaH probably minimum, 10,000 MaH more likely. The battery alone could be the size of a 3DS XL.
