Hint

Why NX won't be a handheld/console hybrid.

First off, that involves limiting your potential install base. For example, Smash 4, some people, like me, bought both games, which is a lot more money for Nintendo. The same can also be said with games like MK7 or MK8. They have two Mario Kart games out. People, like me, buy both.

    That leads to fewer game sales overall.

    Second, if they were to run the same software, the handheld would have to either be ridiculously over priced, or the home console would be under powered, or wouldn't be used to it's full potential in order to accommodate for the handheld.

    Both of these would lead to poor sales, in one way or another. Third parties may find it difficult to develop for, and costly due to the differences between the two. Thus leading to another Wii U like situation.

    Not to mention, lack of home console exclusives would likely annoy "NX home" owners, but they would also annoy "NX handheld" owners if they do make home exclusive software. The vice-versa may also happen. Plus, would exclusives even come. (New 3DS)

    Not to mention, Nintendo needs to aim for a specific market (imo), the vast percentage of PS3/360 who haven't yet upgraded to PS4/Xbox 1. The same group of users who won't be too interested in a hybrid console.

    Again, the Wii's gimmick was a stroke of luck, that everyone's mother and grandmother wanted one. That same audience have moved to Candy Crush and several other mobile games, and will likely not return to Nintendo. The Wii U failed (debatetly), because of its gimmick. (Yes the GamePad is a gimmick. Yes, I love the Wii U)

    Also, it should be roughly PS4/Xbox One power levels, maybe even Neo. I'm no technology expert, but doesn't tech get cheaper as it gets older, meaning it would be more cost-effective to make a PS4 powered console now, than back in 2012/2013?
