Why do people like the fusion idea? That night get some support in Japan, bit western developers will refuse to develop because it's too weak! And again PlayStation and XBox fans will hate and diss on it, making it the birthday monkey of all console jokes again.


Fusion is a unified architecture, this means that they can have a home console (high specs) and a portable (portable specs) that can run the same software but, obviously, at different levels of IQ and frame rates. Right now, the WiiU/3DS are two entirely different and incompatible architectures that require heavy work to bridge (see: Smash3DS), if they were under a unified articheture with two concrete hardware specs, then it would be trivial to code and texturize any one game to run on two seperate systems with two seperate graphical qualities.

If third parties cared about specs, they'd have specs to target. If third parties cared about Nintendo's tens of millions of portable users, they have a userbase to target. More than likely, they won't support it either way because Nintendo consoles don't support the AAA-big budget method of overhyped front loaded sales. Instead you'll see more and more indie or mid-level support that can run everywhere, and Nintendo will only have to feed one channel with its game output which they can do.
