Yes! Nintendo, you fucking win.

This is exactly what I was saying. Now, with an integrated API and a scalable OS, Nintendo will be able to do what Google achieved with Android (multi-platform development) and apple with the iOS (again, multi-platform development), and this will begin with the WII U!!!

In other words, when the next system comes out, they will only need to make 1 game, and it will be playable on both the next system and the Wii U, alleviating from Nintendo all the stress that comes with breaking development on one platform to support the next.

Nintendo, you now win.

Sony will still sell their 100-150 million consoles. Nintendo will just better integrate their 3DS and Wii audiences into one and perhaps pick up a few more people, but the iOS/Android assualt on casuals will likely only get worse. 

What makes you think they will 100 million this gen.  Next-gen they will be the last gen for sure. 10 years technology will past consoles.
