Positive Impacts From a Unified/Fusion Nintendo Platform

[Mensrea]

I would absolutely love a console handheld hybrid. It would mean a more constant flow of games, and a really cool idea.

That being said, I think that the premise has some flaws. Would you sell both of them packaged together? If so, how much will that cost? If you needed to keep costs down, does that mean we would get outrageously under powered, and cheap systems? I wouldn't be down with a Wii U power system, and a 3DS power system bundled together as a hybrid. If they are packaged together, how do you make each part of the experience a worthwhile one? Won't the handheld ultimately be ignored by the west, and the console will be ignored by japan? If they both play the same games, why do we need both?

Another approach would be to package them separately. That would eliminate a large portion of the market though. The Nintendo fan who buys both handheld and Console would really have no incentive to do so. If they both play the same games, what is the point.


I think the key to making a hybrid work, is making each system worthwhile on it's own, as well as adding functionality, and features when used in tandem. It's not going to be an easy task.
