I was thinking, I hope the controller secures to the unit snug and secure, as I can see a bunch of first wave NX units break on account of slipping out of their multi-piece control setup basically sending the cellphone like display and processing unit flying to the group to smash into and shatter all over... not as comical as a Wii remote impaling a HDTVs LCD screen, but I can see that being just as common a problem.

Knowing Nintendo, it's going to be some spin on it. I'm skeptical we'll get 4, honestly.

The Tegra X1 is a power hog. I hope Nintendo puts a large battery into their tablet.

I'm still convinced that the system uses an Android fork, and Nintendo is lying about that. Also, we are only hearing half of the story. I'm also convinced this system is only the handheld portion of the platform, and there still is a regular console.

Hm. That is a weird picture. What if the controller they are making is for your phone? And your phone interfaces with the NX console? Hmm that wouldn't work, right? The reason I thought about it is that on the picture it looks like it is made to house different sized screens. It also mentions different configurations a lot in the text. Then again it also mentions that the display device may have a protrusion on the back... and that it uses magnetic sensor things and gyroscopes which would argue against this idea. (Because you would probably launch your phone out of the controller) XD

And then they'll release an extra sexy set of controller things and you'll be like aaaaaaaa
