Yeah that was my first thoughts as well.
Nintendo does do their own thing and will look for a new blue ocean. That is what their other device is for, a new blue ocean in health / life improvements.
NX is stated as a dedicated gaming console. It may have a new controller OR it may decide to somehow build off of the gamepad idea (the portable portion) and the pro-controller (core gamer focus). I think WiiU proved Nintendo was moving back to a "normal" gaming controller as both of its controllers are dual analog with similar layouts to what has become the accepted control option.
To me, what is obvious is the blue ocean will be focused on inter-connectivity between smart-devices and dedicated consoles. It will be more about the gameplay options and bridging of said devices than a controller.
