I didn't see anything in this article that even remotely confirms anything. I don't think I've ever seen so many rumors and speculation about any console, ever, as much as I have for the NX. I will be very disappointing if it does end up relying on a gimmick like the Wii and Wii U, and depending on what it is I may or may not buy one for a while.
Nintendo has something that no other company has and that is a lineup of very strong IPs. With that said, I am hoping that Nintendo just releases a powerful home console, akin to the PS4 or X1, normal controller, and makes it very easy for third party devs to create good games on. I would shed tears of joy if this happens, but my gut tells me they wont.
