I would love a shared library too. But aside from digital, the only way to make it possible would be through SD cartriges. And it could make a lot of people confused: they may think those games only work on the handheld, so the people who like handhelds would buy only the handheld and the people who preffer the home console would shrug their heads in confusion asking where are the DVDs. It could cause another case of "the WiiU is a peripheral of the Wii". Nntendo would need a really efective advertisement campaign to avoid those misunderstandings, specially if they want to help their home console bussiness.

This is the kind of information that consumers with a genuine interest in the product will easily pick up on. The problem with the Wii U was that people didn't want it to begin with, so whether it was a peripheral or a new console ultimately didn't matter.

Yes, but what Nintendo wants is to expand their audience after the WiiU fiasco. And that means either trying to get people from PC/PS/XBox buy a Nintendo console or pulling another "Wii", which I'm sure they know it won't work. The PC/PS/XBox won't change their brands easily, specially because they have their PS/XBox accounts with friends and other online stuff. And with the kiddie reputation Nintendo has on that group, making all cartriges might even backfire.



You know it deserves the GOTY.
