So, I remember Nintendo Life doing an article on this patent. And I remember scrolling the comments on it. Now, it's very likely I missed it in both the article and comments, but does this patent not almost GUARANTEE us that the NX is a hybrid? I didn't study the particulars too much until watching this video:

Now, for those who don't want to click the link, the video states at 0:52 "The patent is titled supplemental computing devices for game consoles and it supports the idea that NX will have a detachable gaming unit and also potentially a clever cloud based gaming infrastructure. That's pretty nuts. For starters, it sounds like the NX will have a detachable portable gaming unit- Maybe a controller, that can run games on it's own."

He doesn't seem to make the connection between that and a hybrid as the video goes down and highlights the text in the actual patent- "the supplemental computing device to detachably couple to the game console"

He then goes on to highlight more text and state how the detachable device will hold one or more processors inside itself.

Since we know the patent is real... And although we can't be sure it's NX... But given the fact that we've seen this patent and heard all these hybrid rumors, how can you possibly not be pretty dang sure this console is some kind of hybrid?

Nintendo patents things that they don't use all the time. This doesn't mean jack.

There is nothing here...except for the stuff I just typed...

It doesn't prove anything, of course, but it falls right in line with what everyone seems to think they're doing. It's hard to completely dismiss it.

Yeah so many dumb patents get claimed every day, I wouldn't look to far into this.

Patents aren't for certain, but this has been rumored for the NX to the point where I wouldn't be at all surprised if the NX was a console with a handheld controller that enabled portable streaming of games.

Don't hate me because I'm bnahabulous.
