I think so! If the handheld becomes part of a unified platform, de facto the home console is part of a unified platform that starts when the next handheld is released. And since handhelds gen cycles are out of phase, early by 2 years over home consoles gen cycles, then yes gen 9 starts sooner than ever before. |
I remember hearing back in 2011 right after the Wii U was officially announced that it was going to be a stop gap console. Do you think Nintendo had this mind all along, and will the Wii U benefit from this integration or will we see a new home console sooner as well?
"Games are a trigger for adults to again become primitive, primal, as a way of thinking and remembering. An adult is a child who has more ethics and morals, that's all. When I am a child, creating, I am not creating a game. I am in the game. The game is not for children, it is for me. It is for an adult who still has a character of a child."
