The Pokemon Company CEO basically confirmed that NX is hybrid

I agree.  At this point, almost everyone has their idea of what the NX is and is looking for confirmation bias in every bit of rumors or 'leaks' to solidify their point-of-view.  Someone who believes the NX is a hybrid sees this as more confirmation to that fact.  I think the NX is one platform with multiple sepearate devices so my confirmation bias sees this as them saying that they are only making games for one Nintendo platform rather than two seperate Nintendo platforms like in the past.

Thats point, everything indicates that NX is really hybrid, nothing indicates that NX is platform with multiple separate devices.

There, I corrected it for you, because you know, information is based on facts, not rumours, that's why rumours are called rumours ;)

 

By "if we count what Nintendo recently was saying", you meant the few things Nintendo did actually say about the NX, like:

IWATA: Last year we also started a project to integrate the architecture for our future platforms.

What we mean by integrating platforms is not integrating handhelds devices and home consoles to make only one machine.

What we are aiming at is to integrate the architecture to form a common basis for software development so that we can make software assets more transferrable, and operating systems and their build-in applications more portable, regardless of form factor or performance of each platform. They will also work to avoid software lineup shortages or software development delays which tend to happen just after the launch of new hardware.

 

Come & play the Crow game if you ar so sure of your theory:

I said infos with purpose because EG don't make whole article based just on some random rumours, they had confirmations for infos they had.

 

That wasn't nothing recently, that was from January 2013. but this statement is from March 2014. when they were more ahad with NX plans:

IWATA: "Still, I am not sure if the form factor (the size and configuration of the hardware) will be integrated.

  Whether we will ultimately need just one device will be determined by what consumers demand in the future, and that is not something we know at the moment. However, we are hoping to change and correct the situation in which we develop games for different platforms individually and sometimes disappoint consumers with game shortages as we attempt to move from one platform to another, and we believe that we will be able to deliver tangible results in the future."

Yup, in Jan 2013 he's talking about "brother devices", but a year later in Jan. 2014 he's now suddenly unsure if they need one device or multiple. 

My guess is by this point, the R&D staff was pushing the hybrid concept hard, and that's the one that won out in the end. 

Agree, in time when Iwata said this they probably start pushing hard to hybrid idea.

Don't forget that part of the quote: "In contrast, the number of form factors might increase. Currently, we can only provide two form factors because if we had three or four different architectures, we would face serious shortages of software on every platform."

It goes either way, he says maybe 1 maybe more than 2, so it proves nothing!

Again, all EG have are rumours, facts need evidence!
