But it will be very appealing, even a must have, for kids that don't own a smart phone. The mobile game tie-in to AAA games are inaccessible to younglings with no phones. Also the AAA tie-in mobile games are already made to run on Andriod and IOS so the mini portable unit that comes with the NX probably runs a branched version making these existing games ready to go. The big question is what other kind of mobile to console integration will Nintendo bring with the NX that doesn't currently exist now? 

This isn't very convincing. Why this demographic would want a semi functional handheld instead of a real one is something we'd need to address. The fact that Nintendo would be wanting developers to port to NX home console then make custom content for this mobile component is another question. Although there are quite a few tie ins, very few have huge success so I don't think it'd be a convincing selling point for a $299-$399 system, yet it'd probably add at least $50 to the systems cost even if it was a cheap as dirt/weak mobile device.

The Hybrid platform idea is far more functional & economically viable then fitting 2 independt consoles in one box.

But the hybrid idea will have a portable system that is to big to be portable with poor battery life and a home console functionality that is subpar. And many people don't want full console quality games on the go, but smaller mobile style games.
