From 4Gamer via Siliconera when asked about the prospects of home consoles in Japan Koei Tecmo CEO namedropped NX:
If that's an accurate translation(always doubt with Siliconera) it implies that NX is at least a home console but seems suspiciously vague.
Also going from that interview snippet Koei Tecmo seems confident that consoles will rebound in Japan. I think opinion's very divided about that!
4Gamer: On one hand, virtual reality requires special machinery to play, and we feel that the current state of “games” is headed to yet another way of playing. It’s almost as if it’s evolving towards the opposite direction of smartphones, and requires to “only play at that spot,” or something along those lines. Lately it seems that [home] consoles haven’t been doing too well, but is that the case? At least that’s what we’re wondering.
Erikawa: “Actually, I think that it’ll start doing much better. The PlayStation 4 has recently surpassed 2 million units in nationwide sales, and Nintendo announced a new ‘machine’ called the NX. From this point forward, I believe that each company will make clear commitments for these machines.”
