Some may be disappointed it's not a traditional console and this is STILL rumor-y as hell but it's worth keeping an eye on.
Though it is a rumor, if this is what they end up doing then it still makes sense to me from the perspective of business. The last cutting edge home console they made (cutting edge for its time) was the Gamecube, specs wise. It was beaten by the Xbox in this field but regardless, for its time it was cutting edge, had good low licensing fees, good third party merit, all of that, and they were burned for it anyways. The Gamecube was operating them at a loss and that was the last time they've ever tried to do that with a console again.
all I'll say is I don't believe anything until I see it from the N themselves but if this is the reality I can't say I'm surprised. Given how many more people are buying Nintendo Handhelds vs. Nintendo consoles, this is likely their departure from traditional console experiences.
