Of course not, though they willl claim monetization, so if this rumor were to be true then Nintendo better not also engage in pay to play bullshit on top of this like Sony/Microsoft have.

its supposedly over 10 inches wide.......i dont think many people can fit that in their pocket

As we just discussed, it doesn't make sense for it to be that long in general and especially not when considering their drawing.

Make it two of those D-pads. Go with the winning strategy.

lol, 3DS size in *thickness* only, what's being described is far larger than a 3DS. 

You guys need to understand what the Tegra X1 chip is, there is no magic Nintendium that suddenly means Nintendo isn't bound by the same rules of thermal heat dissipation or they have some magical wacky battery that Miyamoto invented that runs on lollipop technology. 

The only tablet that uses the Tegra X1 is a full size 10-inch screen Google Pixel C. And even the Google Pixel C (with a monstrous 9000+ MaH battery, this is basically laptop size battery). This is the Google Pixel C:

And even *that* still can only run the Tegra X1 at 80% of its clock speed, otherwise it would overheat. 

There is no mobile chip technology that exists today that's going to give you Wii U+ graphical fidelty with adequete memory bandwidth for 3-4 hours in the casing size of a 3DS and still have space left over for a battery to actually run the device. It simply does not exist. 

Try again maybe in 3 years when the 10nm process is common place, even then I doubt it. This is likely why we're hearing reports of the 3DS sticking around through 2018 ... the 3DS is for people of who want a cheap, small portable device, NX has different design priorities and is not 3DS-2. 

And height, so it's only as tall as a 6.2" screen. In case you missed it, here it is again: they say NX (controllers detached) is 205x92x25 while 3DS XL is 156x93x22 

As for the rest of your post, tell that to letsplayvideogames who're giving these dimensions.

What pants are you wearing where 205x92x25 fits in your pockets? MC Hammer pants? And then your other pockets are filled with "controller wings"? 

You planning on carrying, I dunno ... like a wallet or keys or a phone? 

This is clearly a tablet sized device, this is not a "pocket" device. 

Even a 3DS XL pretty much pushes the limit of what realistically go into a normal pocket

Unless 90s jeans are coming back

Do tablets normally have freakishly wide screens or 4 inches of useless space on them? Their drawing certainly doesn't show this. Thus those dimensions don't make any sense, so either something is missing or reported incorrectly, or they're just as bad at lying as they are at drawing.

It does make sense in the context that it would have to be a certain size to dissipate the heat. Could also just be a dev kit thing, dev kits don't look like final product. 

Personally this is going to have to be the size of a Wii U tablet for a number of reasons. Detachable controllers the size of a tiny candy bar aren't going to work either because they're not going to be comfortable to hold, the "wings" can be a bit thinner than Wiimotes, but not by a lot IMO. 

This thing is going to have to have some size to it. The bigger is better for performance anyway, the bigger the size the closer Nintendo can likely get to 100% full clock of the Tegra chip they're using rather than having to gimp it. 

Then explain the drawing and it's clear lack of extra width. If the dimensions are from a dev kit then the final should be smaller hence likely to fit in your pocket, but again the drawing, if all their info is based on the devkit, then the drawing should be aswell, yet it's not.

EDIT: Btw here are the dimensions for the Nvidia Shield: 221 x 126 x 9.2. It has more width and height, but less depth, and I imagine an 8" 1080p screen is more taxing than a 6" 720p one. So yeah I don't think it's that much of a stretch for them to fit it within similar dimensions to a 3DS XL.
