Will Sony and MS have the courage to compete with Nintendo in 2016?

When did they say that their games will be the same? Their OS probably will be to make porting easier for third parties but I never recall that them saying that both systems will have the exact same games...

Jizz, how do the iphone and ipad compare? You remember that Iwata mentioned this right? That the next Nintendo systems will be like brothers?

The ipad and iphone share the same OS (with mild variations), and share mostly the same software due to a common software API. That's exactly what Nintendo said.

So no proof of them actually saying it then? Ipad/iphone =/= console/handheld

If anything, what Iwata said was that it will have the same architecture (but different specs or else the console will be incrediably weak) and the Same OS but that does not mean that it will have the same games from Nintendo. Cause if it does, then it will butcher the sales of either the console or the handheld cause there would be no reason to get the other one if all the games are avaliable on one of them... And most likely, since Sony and MS still will exist, it will butcher their console sales. The reason why people get the wiiU is cause of its exclusive games and not cause they like playing the games on the TV. If you look at say, the PSvita, the PSvita TV sold only 40k in two months in the US... Sure, its not 100% proof but it is the best that we will have as to why its a bad idea
