Hybrids will be a though sell simply because the consumer clearly wants diffrent experiences on different occasions. To cut it short, handhelds are for short burts of single-player gameplay ( "in the same room"), while home consoles are for more prolongued sessions of gameplay (with multiplayer or not).

A great example of why this is the case is the Vita. That console failed because it wanted to be a portable home console. It fell short on that because if you wanted a home console experience, you would actually buy a home console (at the same price btw - PS3 was also at $250).

So no, a hybrid console would be a terrible idea. At least at the current state of technology.

Actually a Hybrid console done right can be good. Sony failed this, Nintendo has more expertise in the mobile gaming market
