What reason do u have for not wanting Nintendo to unify their platforms?

Because I don't want the handheld experience on my $3500 TV... If they are giving both games for free, there is no way that they will put noticeably more effort into the console version because they will be losing money then... And if they don't put more effort into the console version, then there is no way it will run at 1080p native and that $200 hardware will limit that 1080p part too... It will be lucky to even run at 720p 60fps

On top of that, I don't want another wiiU level of graphics in their next gen console because I have the wiiU for that and at a $200 price point, there is no way that it will be noticeably better than the wiiU in terms of power nor will it be able to render games at 1080p specially considering that not even the x1/ps4 can do it with all their games.

I buy their console because I want their console experience, not because I want the same experience as their handheld, just slightly better... I want it to be leagues better and it is. I want Nintendo to unify their OS so that they can develop more games because it will be easier for the developers to learn and code for, not so they can release the same games on both platforms because there will be zero reason for me to buy the console then

PS4/XB1 struggle to do 1080p because the majority of big games made for them are trying to push hyper-realistic, top of the line visuals, that's not really the type of games Nintendo emphasizes on.

I don't really know what u mean by handheld experience or console experience, most Nintendo games are equally suited for both. Mario Kart 7 & Mario Kart 8? Super Smash 3D & Super Smash U? Mario 3D Land & Mario 3D World? DKC Returns 3D & Tropical Freeze? Paper Mario, Animal Crossing, etc. all function the same on either form factor.

A single unified ecosystem where u can get 20+ Nintendo games per year sounds a whole lot better than buying two seperate devices that each get 10 or so Nintendo games per year.

Yea cause so many Nintendo games on the wiiU does 1080p right?

Well obviously I mean a) Graphically and b) Some Gameplay... A) Should be self explanitory B) Games like Smash Bros, Mario Kart and etc all have local play as well as better online and exclusive features such as soundtrack which require you to have better hardware... A $200 hardware will not be capable of doing those things and they will cost Nintendo extra money

The two devices give me seperate experiences... MK8 has local multiplayer as well as a significantly better visual boost and similar things goes for other games like SSB which has 8 players locally, over 400 music tracks, masterpiece collection and a bunch of other things not present on the 3ds version... Rendering a game at 1080p will not give it that much of a visual boost compared to the wiiU vs 3ds... And at $200, it certainly won't even be able to play games at 1080p... Not to mention that the handheld obviously can't play Blurays or DVDs so there will be a large space restriction since it will most likely be Flash memory once again and that restriction will also be on the console since its the same games on both hence why the console will not give me any reason to buy it at all

I said in the OP that the console would be a moderate upgrade over Wii U, something between Wii U & Xbox One, u don't think a console 2-3 times more powerful than Wii U can run things like 3D World, Mario Kart 8 or Tropical Freeze at 1080p?

How many Wii U games make use of the full space available on a Bluray disk? 3D World-1.6gb, NSMBU-1.7gb, Captain Toad-1.9gb, Nintendo Land-2.8gb, Mario Party-3gb, Rainbow Curse-3.5gb, Pikmin 3-3.8gb, MK8-4.9gb, Hyrule Warriors-7.8gb, Tropical Freeze-11gb, Bayonetta 2-14.6gb, Smash Bros-15.6gb, Xenoblade X-22.7gb.

Nintendo can go with game cards like 3DS uses. 3DS game cards range from 1-8gb, next-gen they can go with 4-16gb for most games with a select few 32gb.

How does this setup stop u from enjoying certain games on a handheld vs console? Is Mario Kart 9 somehow going to be worse to u simply by the fact that it is also playable on a handheld?
