This SB game is the setup Nintendo is doing to see how the same yet clearly different games can be released on both consoles.

I think the hybrid option is not as black and white as some make it out to be. The portable won't be a 100% extension of the console. It won't be as powerful and thus capable of playing the home console games on its own.

So if you only buy the portable, the only the portable games will work. If you buy both then you get the added advantage of playing the games on either system.

Plus, I'd think this will be more realized once they finalize their upgrades to NNID and the overall eShop experience. Where VC games (at least) will now be bought once and played everywhere. Maybe a cheap upgrade price like Wii to WiiU transfers at worst.

Basically, my point is. I feel a possible hybrid device will essentially be an dramatic improvement on PSV/PS4 connectivity and dual usage.
