The tablet basically turns the console into a giant DS.

If anything Nintendo's trended towards a uniform format on both their handheld and console divisions, which is part of the reason why they merged them together.

Prepare to see 3DS/WiiU multiplat games.

interesting, i forgot about the merger for a second. but that happened so recently, WiiU has been in development for a long time before that. that seems more of a result and reaction to the recent financial losses nintendo had. anyways do you think the merger was a good idea? or prefer the two divisions to be seperated?

The financial problems are definitely another contributing factor to the division merger. Nintendo has plans to cut hiring this year by about 50% compared to past years.

The first two columns are engineering and technology college grads (male and female), the second two are business grads (male and female), the third two are engineering and technology grads from specialist or junior colleges. The far right is the grand total for the year. 2013 is a projection but all are undergoing significant hiring reductions.
