Will Nintendo's next handheld and console use Power PC like the Wii U?

I don't see much difference between those two statements. I suppose if you're going to have similar architechture, the next step for the handheld would involve Power PC, so the console would have to have Power PC for the whole unified platform thing to happen right? So yeah, you could say the home console has what the handheld does, I guess. All I was trying to say is that they'll use the same thing. I dunno, whatever, point is, cross save and cross buy? Count me in! How awesome is that? Now that sounds like the future of gaming to me. Perhaps they'll go with the rumor and call them Fusion and Fusion DS? To promote the the concept of two consoles to a single unified platform under NNID? I like it. Whatever they use to make it happen, so long as they have that unified platform, I'm excited.

I meant that instead of using PowerPC, use ARM, which is apparently what the 3DS uses.

I believe ARM is strictly meant for mobile devices, and many of its features would be lost on a home console.
