I wonder how much uproar there will be when it starts to dawn on more people that there won't be a traditional 9th gen console from Nintendo ...

When they make a true fusion console, i.e. a handheld device that can be connected to a TV and controller when at home, I doubt there will be much of an uproar. If done right it's the best of both worlds. Providing ~ Wii U graphics on a mobile device with TV out and controller in should be easily within Nintendo's capabilities. Perhaps the controller part is not even necessary, but I'd appreciate being able to use e.g. a Wii U Pro Controller with it (or similar) instead of the device itself when at home. 


I think it will basically be this, but not with a TV out. For one that would be a pain in the ass to have to hook up/disconnect all the time. 

My guess is either there will be A) A small "dock" that relays the video signal from the handheld to the TV ...

Or B) There will be a setup like a seperate "home device" (think Vita and then Vita TV) which is basically the handheld chip in a box that hooks up to your TV so you can play the same games on your TV with a controller if you want. 

My guess is Nintendo will choose option B, as that still "sort of" is a console, but not really.
