Nope, but you're obviously baiting me.

I called the hybrid stuff like a full year ago.

Even putting that aside anyone can do 10 minutes of research on modern mobile chips, particularily the Tegra X1/X2. 

That chip simply cannot run inside a 3DS size casing unless you crippled the performance to like 1/3 (which would make using it pointless). That's simply a fact, the restrictions of thermal heat are not magically different because Nintendo puts their logo on something. 

This is part of the reason why Nvidia has not scored any smartphone contracts for the Tegra line ... the chips would melt the inside of a smartphone size case (or kill the battery in a hour). That's why Tegra X1 is only in a tablet or home wired microconsole that still needs a fan. 

So keeping the 3DS around makes sense in light of what the NX is. 3DS can be the small/pocket friendly/cheap Nintendo portable, NX can go upmarket as a tablet-size design that's in the $250 or even $300 price point (both are still cheaper than the main Wii U SKU at launch). 

I agree, although I have to say DQXI isn't announced for Americas... So, don't count on that yet, it may take a long time to come, if it comes! Hope it does, at least as a swang song for the 3DS at the end of it's lifespan.

Oh I'm not arguing that, I just hope the device is completely different to what you are saying it will be. Because I don't want that device, I don't think it would be succesful, and because It would be funny.

Oh and don't try and take credit for "calling" the hybrid stuff as if you were the first. xD

NX will be fully BC so those games just move over.

Pretty sure GBA was supported the same way right with DS launched as DS was intended as a 3rd pillar as well. However, we know what happened to GBA shortly after.

NX from what it sounds like is probably not the system I would make personally either. But it is what it is, and I always felt like Nintendo couldn't resist the idea and have been saying that for a lot longer than others. 

A year ago not many people were talking about a hybrid or portable console. 

Well I guess one would try to ignore when the rumor they ever so believe and a product from a company they believe is providing the chips contradict what they're saying!

Well so did GBA and DS too, the only problem is that DS and 3DS had pretty weak launch years partially because of that. Where as Nintendo has stated they wanted a strong launch for the NX...

I highly doubt that.

Welp, Nintendos knows how to make their handheld owners happy, thats for sure
