Yeah, that's true. Further more, I think we've only heard rumors about two seperate devices once or twice, yes? Most things we hear seem to point towards one hybrid console.

A lot rumours are bandwagoning though so watch out, 2 devices under one OS that communicate makes far more sense as then the portable and home factor not only will not hamper eachothers design in anyway but it matches what Iwata said far more. Right now I suspect it's not a hybrid but the homeconsole just has 2 devices and someone not familiar with it may have just happen to have a glance at it with out fully knowing the ins and outs. Rumours of two platforms were around until about mid this year and what sparked those rumours, patents which are much more reliable than most sources.

On handhelds Akeos is right that studios working on handhelds won't know about consoles and so on, for example the is no point giving a DK for the HC when the studio in question has never done a console game.
