The console + touchscreen controller in one box idea is not going to be touched again by Nintendo.

They tried it this gen and I don't know if you guys missed it but it's their worst selling console by a country mile.

Making another console that's basically the same concept would be a disaster.

Next gen, their handheld is actually the main bread and butter. If people want to play Nintendo games on their TV at home, that will be like a secondary, optional thing.

Just like iPhone is Apple's no.1 product ... iPad is a nice secondary business for them that reuses the same iPhone components/tech/software ecosystem basically.

I think this will require a bit of a thinking shift from some video game traditionalists who always view the console as the "main" product and the handheld as a "secondary" thing. Reverse that for Fusion.
