Yes there will be...If they offer a home, and a handheld console then they are going to have two seperate markets. They are going to face different competition, home console owners buy different types of games than handheld owners, they are going to have different power levels, even different target buyers. They are going to have to treat them differently and make adjustments seperatley in order to keep them sucessful. They will be seperate products.
If for next gen Nintendo only offered one console, a handheld that you could bring home, plug into your TV, pick up a seperate controller, and use as a home console, that would be a unified system (and really awesome) What they are talking about now is simply two consoles where one console only gets ports of the other consoles games. Pretty much just like they did with SSB.
Will it be cheaper for Nintendo? Sure, it's certainly cheaper to port a game than it is to make a new one. But this certainly isn't going to win them any new sales or marketshare, and it sure as hell isn't going to prompt any response from Sony or MS. it's simply a way to try and get the same amount of money in without having to put as much money out.

Please read Cheebee's post, it's not really up for debate.
There won't be any porting because development will be done on a cross-platform API. If you need more information on this I'll be glad to provide the sources.
If you refuse to learn the facts, why are you insisting on your points?

The games won't be 1-1. They couldn't be if the consoles will have different levels of power.
Though, I'd love to hear how the games being the same would change anything I said in my first paragraph, or my third for that matter. Your thread clearly claims that Nintendo will "steal the home console show". You say that it will be a "huge gamechanger" and you imply that Sony and MS will struggle to compete.
My point, is that your points are utter nonsense.
