1. though cloud is convenient for maintaining files, data, downloads, etc., people like owning physical stuff.
2. all 8th gen consoles can utilize the cloud right now (though Nintendo doesn't want to, as the technology isn't up to their standards, ie. still has latency issues)
3. it could be very possible that all 9th generation console will be handheld with HDTV connectivity, as you mentioned (another hint toward that would again be Nintendo: their handheld and home console hardware devs are now united as one group in their new Kyoto building)
and that's all I have to say about that.
