I'm assuming the NX will be a console with smartphone features as well. Wasn't there a rumour a couple of months ago that it would be some sort of handheld/console hybrid?
That rumor is a weird one that has been floating around for a while without any source. In fact, Iwata specifically addressed that rumor and said rather than consolidating devices, they'd be more likely to release more as a family, similar to how Apple handles things. However, it does depend on how you define "hybrid," as lots of people on GAF speculate a cross-platform shared library is coming (similar to Vita/PS3/PS4 but taken further) and in recent years, I believe that their console and handheld hardware teams were placed in the same building, department, or something. It's been confirmed (or all-but-confirmed) that their mobile apps/games will tie into NX via Nintendo Account, but they haven't show how or to what degree yet.
Honestly, though, no one knows anything and anything is possible, so everyone should feel free to speculate however they want.
