I think this is going to be philosophy of the NX too ... it's goal is to get those kids who begin to play on smartphone and tablet and try to get at least of portion of them to come to NX by having a portable first form factor that's similar to a tablet and maybe can even run smartphone apps itself.

That's the target audience I think.

It's not about trying to dominate the living room or beat Sony/MS or whatever. 

Like you said to Miyamoto, "no shit lol"

I don't think anyone expected Nintendo to dominate the living room, at least not since like the early 90's lol

I don't really even think the console functions of the NX are going to be the primary focus, they're more like a bonus. Mobile chips have gotten to the point where they can produce graphics beyond a Wii U, so adding the TV out functionality makes sense and it saves Nintendo the hassle of having to make an entire console platform that only like 15 million Nintendo fans are interested in. 

They need to maintain their 3DS base and attract some (they're never going to match smartphone or tablet exactly) of those kids playing on iOS/Android to graduate up to an NX.
