I'd love to see how some people answer that question myself.

5 responses already and none have even attempted to answer the question lol

 

I think everybody is reading way too much in the "architecture" word & that what Iwata said had nothing to do with the kind of processors that will be used in the next Nintendo console.

The last sentence: "When this happens, home consoles and handheld devices will no longer be completely different, and they will become like brothers in a family of systems." pretty much is the context.

The way I read it, he is not talking at all about the board architecture of the consoles, he is talking about the architecture of the way the console plays, with a second screen in your hands, enabling 3DS like gameplay & even off-TV play, just on the screen you have in your hands streaming the game from the console or streaming the handeld game to the console/TV.

I can see this "brotherhood" working like this: Next handheld will allow you to stream games from the next home console & vice-versa. The next home console will still have a new updated gamepad, but it will be optional (standart will be classic controller), owners of the next handheld will be able to use it as a gamepad, better you could link 4 next handleds to the home console or buy the optional new gamepad.

All should will have mandatory off-TV play, which would enable classic controller-only, on the TV.

GameCube/Wii/Wii U board architecture has nothing to do with: "home consoles and handheld devices will no longer be completely different", that is why I think he is certainly not talking about PPC or whatever!
