We're already in an age where smartphones will allow games to be played on the go and on your TV. Right now that's Angry Birds and Real Racing 3 but as Smartphones/tablets become more powerful so will the games.
Considering Nintendo's (non-core) group is more casual this is their competition more immediately than Sony's/MS. To that end, I don't see them having any other choice but to follow this trend, in fact WiiU should have been there already and is a horrible missed opportunity to lead the charge instead of following years later.
How well it'll sell will depend on a lot of variables that we could only wildly speculate at now. However, combining their game development resources would help avoid these momentum crushing gaps that GC/Wii/3DS/WiiU have all suffered with.
If it's out in 4-5 years and they can make an underpowered PS4 that goes anywhere and plays on basically any screen (gamepad/tv/tablet/PC) that gets all the PS4/720 ports and the full bore of Nintendo's games for $299 (possible in 4 years) it could be a hit. |
Do you even realize that you are describing a Wii U on steroids? As in a system that tries to please everyone and as a result fails across the board, only much worse than the Wii U does now. You propose a system that is underpowered as a home console and way too expensive as a handheld. It's like dropping a cat from a skyscraper to see if it lands on its feet. Even if that happens, it still won't end well. It's so insane that common sense should stop you from even thinking about doing it.

You know, you're right.
It'll be four years too late. Android is doing this already (Galaxy S4) and Apple is rumoured to announce in April. Four years from now there would be little value proposition in such a dedicated gaming device when all phones/tablets do the same thing.
