^ Wouldn`t that require a streamlined SW production to be a success? Otherwise you`d be telling people to buy multiple platforms.


One of the aims of Nintendo's new R&D facility is streamlining and co-ordinating different software and services across multiple platforms more easily by allowing the different home console, portable and networking divisions to work together more easily. Something along these lines, or a single hybrid device--perhaps initially as a third pillar--could be in the works. 

I may be wrong, but wasn`t Iwata speaking about assests and OS? Like, the non gaming stuff.
Because if you present the same software everywhere wouldn`t that cause HW sales to go down?

I´m not sure what Iwata is planning. All we know is that an additional platform could already be underway, given today`s comments about R&D and that rumour about Nintendo for vendors - on HW related matter that i don`t understand! :D

I think that if a third pillar arrives, we could see some specfic type of software made for it as that would also make the other HW a viable purchase.
With the recent events we might see it next year at E3.
