Even the suppliers of components for a future console prefer to mentally divide these numbers by two, it seems that the shipment NX will not exceed 10-12 million boxes. Of course, all these judgments are unofficial and get confirmation from representatives Foxconn reporters failed. But in truth they definitely have. For comparison: in the first year it was shipped to stores 13 million Xbox One and 18 million PS4.

A kind of hybrid of fixed and handheld console. Considering that the console will be produced at the Chinese factory in the first quarter of 2016, very soon we'll know these rumors are true or not.
