"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/Xbone 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."

The leaker doesn't know, or it will be two models for the consumer to chose?

It seems in line with the little info we have so far. I'm going to bet this IS the real deal.

That post has no legit proof that it's a fake he didn't even bother directing his source. lol.

And the drawing is one of Nintendo's patent anyway

Of course it's going to look like one of Nintendos patents because the person who fake it obviously saw the patents and copied them just like the fake NX controller earlier this year.

Regardless whatever you are hoping NX will not be a home console. Deal with it.

Not that the people STILL denying that it's a hybrid after the Eurogamer and Laura K Buzz leaks aren't delusional, but this supposed three-piece arrangement is nonsense even so. It's bad enough the handheld is too big for pocketing (unless maybe you wear cargo pants), but now they expect us to lug a separate brick along with it? Yeah that's gonna work out great with kids <10yo. No chance the "performance module" gets unplugged and left in the playground sandbox, no sirree.

It would make far more sense just to build that stuff into the handheld and set the entire handheld on the base for at-home play; the only possible benefit of doing it the way this leak claims is that you could use the handheld as a second screen when playing on the TV, but Nintendo just spent several years demonstrating they have no worthwhile ideas for what to actually do with that feature, with a system built around it.

Either this is fake or Nintendo have lost their damn fool minds.
It was too big to be called a sword. Massive, thick, heavy, and far too rough. Indeed, it was a heap of raw iron.
