I don't know guys, I think some of you are thinking too much about it and coming to conclusions that... we'll, I find them hard to be true.
What I take from Iwata is that from now on, both the handheld and home console (and even a third device if they find the need to do it) will share the same architecture to allow for easier and faster game development. But that doesn't mean that they will have the same power.
Using their words, when they talk about both devices being like brothers, I take it that both consoles will be able to share some of its games (for example only 1 eShop or VC with all the games available for both devices), but like all brothers, each one will still have their own games that twon't be shared with the he other console.
And finally, yes, I agree with those that say that it's way too early to talk about new consoles. |
So, from the talks it's pretty clear that games made by Nintendo will be available on all platforms, only with certain options enabled or disabled depending on what platform or accessory you're playing with.

I dont think thats what Iwata meant, I agree with JEMC. What Iwata said was in the context of R&D and programming. Share architecture means shared development standards (will streamline development). Because of achitecture compatibility it could perhaps mean same games, but not necessarily so.
