 "NX is a console-handheld hybrid. It is detachable. It contains the console itself, performance module, and the handheld/gamepad.The console (I think it is supposed to be a dock. I'll call it a dock from now on) contains HDD, cartridge slot and various other interfaces. It supports TV output (but no CPU/GPU).The performance module is a portable device that provides power supply. It contains a Li-Ion battery. CPU/GPU also is contained inside. It supports Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and wired connections. You plug the dock inside and it becomes a PS4/Xbox One like console, but you can also transfer the signals to the handheld (like Remote Play?) There are two candidate SoC for it: Pascal SoC from nVidia or AMD R9 SoC.The handheld part is a 6 inch 720p screen and has a low-TDP SoC, which can satisfy basic operations with lower quality graphics when the performance module is not connected. But it can also display game graphics from the performance module which can provide a console-level graphics. A bit like nVidia Shield streaming. You can bring the performance module with you portable since it has its own battery.Additional info: whatever the solution will be the computing power it has falls behind a PS4, let alone a PS4 Pro. Don't have high hopes for that. The selling point for it is high portability and hybrid providing rich gameplay possibilities.If details don't get revealed in Oct then maybe wait for the beginning of next year. I welcome you guys to necrobump this post. Period."

This sounds like a mess. Good luck nintendo.

A handheld with a power brick, exactly what the world needed.

I'm pretty sure the power brick thing would go with the base station somewhere.  
I need to see more.

Looks ok I guess.

Close to what I expected.

My Vita has a power brick like any cellphone.

That's a charger and not something that improves performance of the Vita when connected.

Wait did we ever stop to consider that possibility?

NX is a portable console with a dock for TV out. The dock is included with every NX, but it does NOT increase performance. Instead you need to buy an additional accessory that connects to the dock in order to get home console like performance. That would allow them to keep the device cheap while pleasing the graphics fans too.

Whatever it is.... Looks like a complete joke

sounds as awesome as that modular google phone that google smartly canceled before going to market with...
