Should Nintendo's next console be a microconsole?

A microconsole? No. I would want a handheld with hdmi out.

It's probably in Nintendo's best interest to have two seperate devices than to have a single device act as both.

I feel Nintendo would have a much easier time supporting one console instead of two. Especially if they're going to continue to go on without third party support in the future. Also since they would only make handheld games, the games would be less graphically demanding, and games would be released at a faster rate.

The support would be the same since the console version would essentially be the same hardware as the handheld. Two seperate devices with the same hardware and software as one another.

I'm talking about just one device.

Yes I know, I'm saying it's more beneficial to have two seperate devices than just one. Both devices will be essentially the same hardware, just in different form factors. This way they can still offer the same software output as they could by supporting one platform.

Another option:

You can have 2 different hardwares based on the same scalable architecture.

You could have one handled that can be plugged into the TV but renders at at a lower resolution + retrocompatibility with 3DS / DS.

A more powerfull microconsole that renders at higher-res + has a few exlcusive games + retrocompatibility with Wii/WiiU.

That is essentially what I'm trying to say.
