I hope you are right. I am certainly not the most technically knowledgeable person here, but it seems to me that continuing the PPC750 line into their 9th gen system would be most illogical.

Thanks for the feedback, I was a bit annoyed that the thread derailed again in a PPC vs. X86 duel, when honnestly I don't think it was what Iwata was talking about.

Nintendo can't afford to go anyhting than X86 this time, indepently form the technical aspect, this alone would be the excuse for 3rd parties to stand away from Nintendo's console. They need to make a console that makes porting games from PC & the other 2 twins the most easy as possible.

I understand what Iwata was referring to is the symbiosis between handheld & home console. Funny enough it read this article a few hours after posting on this thread, it looks like devs want what I described too :P

I personally do not think Nintendo will focus on third party games at all next generation. All of their explanations have included only concerns for their devs and their handheld. Otherwise we would have them discussing things with outside fevs, which would almost certainly have been leaked by now.

 

Whether that is a good idea or not is debatable.
