According the firm's report (via Nintendo Life ), Macquarie expects Nintendo to release NX as two separate units, with the portable element launching this November and its "console partner device" arriving in 2017.The company also speculates the portable version will be priced around $200. No estimated price for the console unit was provided, but Macquarie believes the pair of devices may have some type of AR component as well.It's worth noting this report is also the source of yesterday's rumor that NX may work with smartphones, PCs and competing consoles, as the firm's Head of Research David Gibson provided the information to The Wall Street Journal reporter Takashi Mochizuki. We've reached out to Gibson for comment and will provide an update when we receive a response.This information is strictly analyst speculation, so take these reports with a grain of salt, as Nintendo has yet to announce any specific details on NX. It won't be long before we get official details from Nintendo, however, as company president Tatsumi Kimishima just recently reaffirmed that we'll hear more about the mysterious console later this year.
