That will be waaayyy too expensive, even if they were to put it around Wii U levels, there will be no way Nintendo will ever be as successful this way considering how most of their profit comes from hardware. Unless this "hybrid" can move as much units as both a console and handheld can, then Nintendo would be stupid to do this. They will combine the platform, in a sense that their devices will share the same infrastructures, OS's, UI, etc. But only one hardware product? That sounds too much like nonsense. |
It will be like the iPad and iPhone. Those are two seperate hardware products.
Both use the same exact OS, run most of the same apps, and even use the same chipset more or less.
I think actually the console box will be more like just a cheap accessory for the handheld (which will be the MAIN platform). The console will just be a duplicate with a mobile ARM CPU + GPU, maybe clocked a little higher than the handheld counterpart. If you want to play at home on your TV you can.
