And these are my thoughts on that matter.

If nintendo makes their next console a HH/home console hybrid it will be one of the single worst decisions nintendo has ever made. Putting all their eggs in one basket is just not good business sense.

What happens if they have another wiiU like situation on their hands and people end up rejecting the hardware and they don't have anything to fall back on (ie no handheld business to bring in revenue). Not to mention handheld games and home console games offer different types of experiences and gameplay. Has anyone given any thought to a situation like that? It really puzzles me that anyone will see this as a good idea.

If nintendo does this then it will truly be doomed, but to be honest with the current trend of thinking at nintendo I wouldn't be surprised if they do.

It won't be a hybrid. They've given us a lot of answers on this, the future is a unified API, so games can be playable on all platforms but make use of each platforms' strengths (resolution, inputs, effects).

Nintendo also will not need to back themselves up because they will have all their strength injected onto 1 library, they don't need to mitigate anymore risk.

Lastly, games that will be more suitable for portable play will still be playable on a portable. Consumers will look for games that best suit their hardware purchases.

If the same games are playable on both hardware then whats the point of getting both or more accurately one of their hardware offerings will suffer in sales for this, unlike the current situation where you can get both and have different experiences.

Also if nintendo games are tailored to the the hardware then all those different hardware or whatever will essentially have to offer the same experiences, if there is a wiiU situation and people do not accept or generally just do not like what they have offered hardware wise and thier games on it, like the current wiiU tablet, then they will be in very dangerous situation.

Again a very bad business decision.
