They would spend 8 times the money developing new devices than they do now so I find this highly unlikely. Stick with one handheld and console or some fusion thing but my goodness don't make a billion things.


It's 3 form factors all based on the same hardware (console, handheld, tablet) so it is the fusion concept. Also we already have 3 Nintendo form factors (2DS, New 3DS XL, Wii U) so it's not anything different from that. Also, as the new model releases, the older one gets phased out but still supported since its a Fusion concept so the revisions are in a sense similar to the difference between 3DS and New 3DS (supposedly 2x CPU speed, 2x RAM).


The 3ds, 3ds XL, and 2ds all have the same internal specs (in terms of games they can play) and the N3ds BARELY has an increase. The Wii U is their 2nd device with actually significantly different specs (in terms of power/visuals, not 3d). Again, I seriously doubt Nintendo wants to have to enhance their devices every year, remarket them somehow convincing people to buy their new model which is "so" much better than last years model, and potentially deal with bombs of devices. If they put all their resources into one device per area (handheld, console, phone [if they do this at some point] then they have a bigger chance at that single device turning a profit and gaining word of mouth marketing). Having a new model every year kills word of mouth because people won't grow to love a single device, they will be disgruntled 1-12 months after purchasing it because something slightly better came out.
