I'm probably too lazy to change my avatar if I'm wrong, so don't expect me to. But I'll make a prediction. I don't think the system is going to be as rumored, because rumors are always wrong. I think there is some smoke to them, but there will be unexpected twists. My expectations:
1. Rather than a portable you can plug to your TV, I think it will be a home console you can take with you. I.E., like the Wii U, but the "gamepad" will be able to play anywhere there is wifi with a form of remote play. To improve the play experience, the gamepad will be able to tap into any nearby NX that makes its resources available. Customers will be given incentives for making their system available.
2. The Gamepad will be a unique device that can function as a controller, a handhed, or as a tablet set on table. The side controllers will detach as rumored, and have various swappable input options. The tablet will have unique gameplay abilities, such as cameras, motion sensors and possibly a projector of some kind. It will have new types of experiences designed to play at a table, or using augmented reality.
3. In terms of chips and power, the Gamepad will use an nVidia X1 to handle its basic functions. However, the main processing power for games will be in the home console. This APU may or may not be a chip from AMD, but it will exceed the power of a vanilla PS4. I can be supplemented by a SCD, which won't be ready at launch.
4. NX will support carts and digital download. There will be no disc drive.
5. NX will absorb the Wii U platform, and will offer cross-play in the short-term. IE, you can play a game like Smash or Splatoon against Wii U owners if the title is ported to NX. Several titles will be ported.
