This is a nice fantasy but it won't work in reality.

For a "shared library" to work, the handheld and console are going to have to be close in power. 

And portables don't need cables to stream to a TV these days. 

People really don't put any thought into the portable at all, this is the problem with the SMD64 crowd, the portable is just "oh we'll just slap something together". No you can't do that. The portable has to be the base for all games if it's a "shared" ecosystem, my guess is Nintendo actually having to do practical real world R&D realized this and from that the hybrid concept took over. 

Because if the two devices have to be close in power, then you are really not getting anywhere forcing people to buy a completely seperate console and handheld just to play the same games. You might as well make one device that can play both at home and on the go. 

Most Nintendo fans even do not buy the Nintendo console even with its own exclusives (80% of GBA buyers did not buy a GCN, 80% of 3DS owners did not buy a Wii U, Wii got away with it due to the Wiimote craze), so why are they going to now buy a seperate console that has the same games? Very few people aside from the same group of 15 million Nintendo console die-hards will do this (probably even less). 

What are you talking about? Have you seen pc's over the last century? Games can be played on specs 20x apart, one might be on 720p the other in 4k and so many other settings. Just by swiping a litle slider. 

Games that nintendo has already achive compatability with handheald and console. First and mainly, super smash bros. wii u is more than 10x the 3ds. and they kepet everything the same execpt the resolution. xenoblade chronicles is close to an example, is wii to 3ds, but the wii is still much more powerfull than a 3ds. There are probably others that I dont know about but thouse 2 should be enough.

STreaming to smart tvs on chrocast like devices is tota trash and Ive tryed it. there insane lag not sutible for gaming and the upscalability also suffers. So no, it would be insane for them to make streaming the default conection to a tv. If there is a docking station the even less likely to be streaming, since your setting it next to your tv, might as well conect the hdmi to it. 

and its true about the handheld owners not getting the console, but it also works the other way around. there are many wii, wii u, gc owners who dont like playing on the go and forcing them to go mobile is also not wise.

You seeem to be under the delusion that only the eurogamer rumor can possible be true. You need to get off that cloud. specially since they have been proveen wrong before. as far s you know that source that spred things aroud was send by nintendo to send everyone off track the real nx and for people to ddisregard real leakers. All im saying is that there is a world of possiblitys and 2 seperate devices is one of the more possible ones.

Again it's not the Eurogamer rumor. In fact Semi Accurate reported Nvidia Tegra being the chip before Eurogamer did. It's Eurogamer + IGN + Wall Street Journal + LPVG + and Kotaku has also said they have heard the same thing with NO credible person saying no. 

I would not believe a rumor from just one source, but 5-6 reputable sources with zero push back from anyone credible, yeah I believe it. 

The PS4 Neo and Scorpio leaks were basically the same exact thing. 

So no, sorry I'm not getting off the cloud. Either show someone CREDIBLE who has predicted something accurately in the past before saying AMD 4 TFLOP NX or I call bullshit. Plain and simple. 

This is a random Brazilian "leaker" who has zero track record. Gimme a break. Hey, NX is 8 TFLOPS. I just told you. Believe me? Maybe I should start a Youtube channel and see how many suckers I can get to follow me.
