If the NX really has just two SKUs that would mean the Home Console portion will not operate without the HandHeld other wise there would be three SKUs 

Yup. So there wont be just a console version. Its either hand held plus console or just, what?

It could be console with hand held or just hand held. Which means the system is hybrid.

Or it could be console with hand held, or console without hand held. Which means it's a home console with a mini portable and not a hybrid.

Could work both ways, doesn't prove anything.

Yeah could just be one with HD built into the dock

Going by the recent rumour the whole hybrid thing is a misinterpretation, the way it's describe is more along the lines of two stand alone devices executing one concept with one device having some slight portable function. This is why 3DS is still getting support well into 2017 as the NX platform coming is not a replacement for it but the Wii U's successor, the 3DS successor will probably arrive in 2018.

The portable device is said to be barebones much like the gamepad, the two devices make up the SKU with the portable device likely housing the interface to interact with features and play games.

True the NX could be based on one architecture with two varients.
