If the Nintendo Fusion is another hardcore gaming system, it won't sell more than the Wii U and 3DS combined.

Wait... "Both will share the same library"? Does that mean the that the fusion console/handheld wont have any exclusive games to the respective devices? Cause if thats the case, I think that might be a bad idea cause then the only reason to get the console will just be a graphical upgrade which if the handheld costs, say, 50% less then the cost of the console, it might just have a huge negative effect on the console if not cripple it cause there wont be any reason to buy the console apart from the graphical upgrade and more comfortable controls...

So, I dont think they will do it like that, instead what they will probably do is still have exclusive games to each device and the main benefit of having fusion would be for third parties and the fact that they don't have to train developers to learn separate code for each device and it should take less time to develop games if both use the same code

Anyway, so as for the thread, I think, provided what I said is true, it should give insentive for gamers to buy the respective device. If the console has the third party games this time around and their online is up to snuff, it might start bringing some users back that would otherwise not like the Nintendo platform due to the lack of third parties. As for the 3ds, well, it has games like Pokemon, Monster Hunter, MK and now SSB that should still sell very well so if they do it right, they should sell well above what they are selling currently. Sure, iOS/android devices are bad and they are directly affecting the handheld market but if Nintendo does it right and maybe make their own app store or cut a deal with google and have it android based device with a play store and have games exclusive to their device, it might work
